Sad/happy day

Tis the end of the ramblings of a young woman/her musings and memos.

I was married on Saturday to the love of my life in the Salt Lake City Temple for time and all eternity. My family - mom, dad, brothers and sisters were there and Matt's entire family, as well as dear, dear friends. It was so lovely. A complete dream day. It was more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. I owe so much to my in-laws for putting it all together and being so kind to me and welcoming me into the family. It's wonderful to be a part of it!

In honor of our new life, Matt and I (Matt may or may not actually write, but for sure he will be a huge contributor) we started a new blog - http://mattandangelicanelson.blogspot.com.

So long ramblings! You have been a joy to post on these past two years. But, as the classic song says - the best is yet to come!

Saying farewell to the lovely view outside my office

Would you pardon my violation based on my plea?

Dear City of Chicago,

I am writing in regards to a street cleaning parking ticket I received on Thursday, April 15, 2010.

I apologize for the inconvenience my car must have caused the street cleaner that day. I did not leave it there for the purpose of being an inconvenience. I wish to be pardoned from this street cleaning violation as I believe I do not deserve it. I simply did not see any signs posted for street cleaning.

I am getting married this week, and my mind is in my various locations right now. I leave early for work and come home late everyday before the sun rises and sets, and must have missed them in the darkness The day of street cleaning, I had taken work off to complete a few wedding items, and left the house late that morning right as the street cleaner went past my car, as well as the ticket issuer. I would greatly appreciate being pardoned from this ticket.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, or follow-up of any kind.

Thank you very much,

Angelica Wachlin

FYI: The plea has been edited for blogging appropriate purposes. And as much as I'm going to miss Chicago, I'm not going miss the city's ridiculous parking tickets they love to hand as if it were candy. Boo City of Chicago ticket issuers!

Tap Dancing Award

All that hard work in Tap 101 at BYU-I really paid off.

Tiffany, Amanda and I won an award at our branch's variety show for our dance titled, "The Evolution of Dance". We danced to "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolph. Amanda and I tapped, Tiff was on pointe, there was about 10 seconds of ribbon dancing and then we finished it off with a little hip hop - whad up.

This dance might have just been the pinnacle of my single life. I can marry Matt happily now without any regrets.

You can check out the dance here.
