Name Change

Well, after a full week of being married, finally I am getting around to getting the rest of my name change documents done. We had been on honeymoon until Sunday night, so first thing Monday morning I went down to the court house and got a few copies of our marriage certificate. Then I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles and got my driver's license changed. That took about two hours. I swear that the Department of Motor Vehicles moves more slowly then any other government based job. It may sound really goofy, but I was very excited once I finally had my new license with my new last name. As I type this, it sounds somewhat childish but I really was excited. In fact the first thing I did when I got home was show it off to my Master. He just smiled at me, read my name in full and kissed me on top of my head as I knelt at His feet.

The next morning I had a class at my college, so I stopped by Student Services and changed my name there. I went to my Math class (which I swear literally sucks some of my life essence away each time I go). After class I realized that I would probably need a new student ID. Sure enough, yes I did. Why they didn't remind me of that while I was up there I have no idea. Perhaps I was keeping them from their coffee. I wasn't as excited about that as I was my driver's license but still a smile crept across my face.

Now all that's left to do is to go down to Social Security, the bank, and switch over my car registration. Fun, fun, fun. Actually, the process is the only thing I really hate, because of all the hurry up and wait. But the end result always makes me smile. I have been waiting to share Master's last name for about two years. So I always smile when I see it in print. In fact Master likes to pick on me because I still haven't accidentally signed my name with my maiden name. I always get it right. (Probably because I practiced for about a month in advance to the wedding. *sigh* There is no hope for me.)
