Exciting news! I got my first piece of mail addressed to my married name today. Sure, I've received a few checks made out to my married name, but they are useless without this, I think. It is a receipt from the Social Security Administration indicating that my card with my NEW name is on its way. I am both happy and sad. Happy because I am obviously excited for our new life together, yet sad because I feel as though I'm leaving a small piece of myself behind. I chose not to hyphenate because that just becomes problematic after awhile, besides why would I want my name to be even longer? I suppose he could've taken my name, but we're not that progressive. We also tossed around the idea of combining our names into a new one, but that was just ridiculous. I did consider switching my maiden name to my middle name, but I chose to keep my grandmother's name as my middle name as she passed only 3 months before our wedding. So, now begins the process of changing my name everywhere else. Oh joy! I suppose I should practice my new signature...that's gonna be weird to get used to after nearly 30 years of signing. And the other bad thing...my new initials are B.O. Bummer!!!
Thanks for reading.
Twoodles,
Mrs. O
