I received my first official mail with my new last name. Trouble is – I don’t know if like it. I decided to change my name, much to my chagrin (love you honey). I am so used to my name. I like having double initials, which gives me my nick-name, CC. But, I love my husband and I love the idea of us sharing whatever we can. I also want to have the same name as my children (God-willing). What I decided was to just add my new last name to my current name, keeping my middle name. Got that? I will have 4 names. I will ask to be addressed by first, old-last, new-last (no hyphen). Legally, you have to have a hyphen to keep your old last name as a surname but I don’t care. That’s how I will be referred to and the US gov’t can kiss it!
Still, I am totally procrastinating about changing it. I need to order an official copy of our marriage certificate, which we should have done when we got our license. It’s so labor intensive. Done with my B&M session. Switching to excitement about eventually becoming an official “new woman”!
