Official time changeover is at 2 AM on Sunday but most folks change it 1 hour before going to bed on Saturday night (tonight).

Hehe... you lucked out! Justin and I got married on the day of my college graduation (December 12, 1998). You'd think we could have waited, but we'd dated for 10 years and we both still lived at our respective family homes, so it was definitely about time.

My poor Mom and Dad... I know they're grinning right now thinking about that day, and so many others, with "Soon enough, she'll know what it was like" thoughts on their minds.

Shannon,

It might just be a mistake, It's an hour back, fall back, we get a whole 'nuther hour of sleep in the morning. Or, change it back Sunday night, and that will be a treat to sleep longer on a Monday morning.

Yep, Spring-ahead, Fall-back.

Did I say it wrong? (Yep... I think I was going for "most folks go ahead and change it back..." but landed on "most folks go and change it ahead..." Oops! Fixed.

And the changeover was this morning (Sunday 2 AM), not Monday at 2 AM. The time change is already in effect as I type this. Wait until Sunday night and you'll run one hour ahead of everyone today!
