ajg redux

almost 3 years into marriage, i finally changed my name.

yep, all those who have been confused...
*who have had to write new checks because they wrote my non existent married name...
*who wrote letters to a married name and confused the postal carrier...
*the ward clerk who kept making reimbursement checks to someone who didn't exist...
*family members left scratching their heads...
*persons scattered throughout the last 3 years who have given me funny looks because i couldn't remember which last name to give...

your time has come.

with aaron's residency established and my DL up for renewal, i bit the bullet. cause no one, i repeat, none alive want to visit a ca dmv office more than absolutely necessary. there are still a few hurdles to jump, like the fact that my flight this weekend is booked under my old last name. any TSA employees reading this please ignore that last statement. still need to get a new passport. yucky.

but, otherwise, it's done. aaron is so excited. i think he was beginning to have his doubts it would ever happen. with the same initials and not having to change my signature, i lucked out.

a tip for all those who will be changing their name in the future and are uncertain about leaving their given name. just live with 2 names for a few years and you'll be glad to give up one of them. it gets confusing.

xoxo,
