So after 4 years of marriage I'm finally going to legally change my last name to my husbands. Until now I've only partially used it. You'd be amazed the things that are under my married last name. My car, a credit card, it's even listed on my credit report as an alias.
It'll be easier really. Now I won't have to pause and say "ummm..." whenever someone asks me my last name. I have to stop and think what last name I use for things like the dry cleaners and such. People must think that's weird. Things like my health insurance is under both names (hyphenated) so I won't have a problem like when I go to the pharmacy
I'm just going to get rid of my middle name (Christine) and change it to Yeager. That way I'll still feel a little like my former self. Changing a name is a weird thing. I told Mike to do the same thing so we can match (really, it's only fair), but he didn't think that was funny. Michael Yeager Leonard doesn't sound so bad! Anyway I'm glad the debate is over, it's been a sore subject with us from even before we got married. If we weren't having a kid I don't know when I ever would have officially changed it.
