L got another call from the editor at the New York Times regarding our possible wedding announcement. The editor had contacted an office at Wisconsin, L's alma mater, to verify that L got the degree she said she got from the university she said she went to, but the university doesn't give that information out over the phone. Instead, they use a service which charges a little bit of money for retrieving transcripts and degree information, which the New York Times, understandably, does not want to pay for. So, L has to fax a copy of her diploma over to the Times. She is, of course, very excited that it looks like we'll get in, but I must admit that I've had job interviews with fewer reference checks than what's involved with this.
My volunteer gig is over and now it's back to wedding stuff. L arrives in Milwaukee before 1 PM today (the time stamp on this site is still set to EST) and we head to camp tonight with her mom. Tomorrow's agenda includes putting together the gift boxes, making signs for the rooms so everyone knows where they are staying, and putting together the AV system L's dad bought for the rehearsal dinner.
