We have a new phone number. Yay!! But I guess it's not a good idea to put it on here. Email Brian or I and we will send it to you. :) Then, you can feel free to pass it on to our other friends and family in LA, Cd'A, and Rochester.

Officially Mrs. Brian Hudson
At last! For once the State of California actually came through on something. I was honestly beginning to worry. I had heard from several people in a little wedding chatroom I used to visit while engaged that Los Angeles was notorious for making people wait up to 5 months to get the certified copy of their marriage license, without which one cannot go to the Social Security office to change one's name. But, in a month-and-a-half, they managed to deliver it to my door.
The best part is that when I went downtown to the Social Security office here in Seattle, the hardest thing I had to do was find parking. Which, incidentally ended up being less than a block from the building and costing me a quarter. (Toto, we're not in South Central anymore!!) Then, I went into the building which was empty except for three employees and one other lady. So, I walked right up to the counter, filled out my application, and got my name changed. My new card should be arriving in the next 8-10 days!
In other news....
Brian has begun work at MS and just loves it. His boss, John, is a really neat, down-to-earth guy who isn't one for working crazy hours and seems to feed them all very well. He's had so much free food at work, in fact, that I'm beginning to feel silly for packing him lunch!
UW is treating me well. I wore one of my USC sweatshirts to school today for the first time. No one gave me any dirty looks, which was nice especially considering that it was the most conspicuous piece of 'SC garb I own: bright red! Tends to stand out next to UW's white, grey, and purple. Oddly enough, nobody around here seems to wear red. Intriguing...
Student body aside, though, I did end up in an interesting conversation due to the sweatshirt with two of our new neighbors. Apparently the husband of the family next door, whose name is Adam, was a Bruin, class of 1989! He said 'SC was a lot dirtier then but that he has a good deal of respect for them now. Nonetheless, he and our neighbor from across the street, Randy (who is a UW grad) couldn't help ribbing me for a little bit. It was a good introduction; mainly, it was really nice to get to meet some folks who live nearby.
More photos of the house soon, I promise! I just need Brian to sit down and help me figure out how to get them off of the camera.
