With T-minus 40 days and counting until we tie the knot, it seems every other day we hit another wedding related milestone. But this past weekend was a particularly big one... my bridal shower and bachelorette party!

I am so blessed to have numerous friends who came into town for the two events.... some from as far as Washington D.C., Cincinnati and Cleveland. The fact that they made such an effort to be here really meant a lot to me.

We spent the weekend in Wisconsin Dells... catching some rays, talking, eating, and celebrating (with a little karaoke at Showboat!). To any of you who ran into us... remember, what happens in the Dells stays in the Dells!

There was one question that continued to come up this past weekend (perhaps the veil, sash, etc. was a little clue!). That question: will you change your name once you're married?

It reminded me of one of Michelle's blogs on that very subject. To be honest, I have given it some thought, although I have not come to a conclusion on the topic. It seems there are so many decisions to make, especially as the day approaches, that this one has been lingering in the back of my mind.

So... what do you think? It's weird for me to think of being anyone but "Leigh Mills." I've been that person my whole life, and I've been with NBC 15 for almost 5 years (my 5 year anniversary will take place while we're on our honeymoon!). Bottom line: I don't want to confuse anyone! But at the same time, I believe a marriage is a joining of two people... so why not share the same name on and off the air?

Thankfully, Charlie is very understanding and really wants this to be my decision. I'm now starting to give it more thought and wondering what you think I should do. What would you do? Would a new last name throw you off?

Decisions, decisions... stay tuned...

Leigh =)
