I started down the 'name change' maze today. Everything except my passport, a plane ticket & the social security card are DONE!
I signed my new name on my drivers license, bank account, and life insurance policy. Although I'm still introducing my self by my married name.. I think that will take some time.
By Wednesday... everything, except the plane ticket (which they apparently can't or won't do) will be in my maiden name.
Somethings are amazingly easy.. others (see the plane ticket) are not.
Joint financial pieces are also separating today & tomorrow that will also be completed. It is amazing to really sit back & look at how many places we overlapped our lives & how many things there are to disintangle.
Ironically, we had to educate some bankers today about what we could & couldn't do. With a 50% divorce rate you'd think this would be 2nd nature to them... apparently not.
I'm enjoying a beautiful spring day on my parent's back porch with an MGD, my dog at my feet & I will be picking my D15 up from play practice after supper....
..pleasure in small things.
