it must be time to change my last name when...

...i can no longer remember it. on the church records i'm gough, but legally i'm still godfrey. yes, yes, i know. 18 months later and i haven't made the switch. i have my reasons, but my goal is to do it before we have a child. two names on the birth certificate would be hard to explain. since a baby is no where in sight i figure i have awhile. my poor brain is telling me otherwise.



often i accidentally write 'godfrey' on my tithing slips (and what a pain it is to request a reimbursement check since they can only make it out to the name on church records). we have multiple aimees at work (pretty amazing that we are all spelled the same) and someone just walked up to me and asked me if i was aimee so-and-so (looking for a different aimee) and i said, 'no, i'm aimee go...., um, uh, godfrey! aimee godfrey.' sounded like i was lying and she looked at me quizzically, but thankfully took me at my word. perhaps i'll have to change it sooner rather than later.

if you're forgetting your own name, no matter what it is, you might have other issues with which to concern yourself....

this coming from the man who has to keep a watch or phone nearby to remember what day of the week it is.
