Your avvy makes me want to take a bubble bath.

Twink,

Thanks, I am very happy about it. I sent my Dad an email telling him it was legal. He answered by writing my full name and said it sounded right. I'm glad that he is so happy about it. I had no idea that it would mean that much to him.

I emailed you my info.

Hugs,
Becky:hug:

I was tempted to change it to Becky Sting but decided that would be a bad idea. LOL

I am so glad that is done. It definitely feels comfortable and means a lot to me and my family. It's just ridiculous to keep someone's name just because you married them and made a horrible mistake. LOL

I bet you can't wait to change your name now that you know I did it.

I did change the avatar last night I think. I can't remember. LOL I thought it was really cool.

I got some more shoes the other day and need to send you the pics so your daughters can see them. BOGO sale is coming soon.

Hugs,
Becky:hug:

All my artwork has my maiden name on it. I have a hard time using my married name on something that comes straight from my heart and soul. My married name is not me. I know that sounds weird but I know that you understand.

Definitely send the pictures. The girls loved the shoes you got last time. You shopping Queen. LOL.

Becky, I am so happy it's done and now you are, well, who you are. lol I fixed you in my email addy book. :hug:

Congrats Becky !!

Now you are your own real person.

Jappy

Trish - My married name was not me at all. You are right about that one. I'm going to send you pics of my new shoes when I get the chance. Changing names takes a lot of work.

Sandy - I'm so glad I did it!!! Now, if I can just remember to say my real name after 40 years of carrying that crappy married name. LOL I introduced myself to someone today as half my married name before I caught myself and corrected it.:D

Jappy - Thanks Jappy!:D

When I went before the Judge last Monday for my name change, it was in a small court room but there were quite a few civil cases going on.

My name was called pretty fast since it was a simple name change. I hobbled up with my cane to the Judge's bench and she swore me in. I thought she would be very formal but she wasn't. LOL

She said she got her divorce in 1972 too and it was a really good year. told her it sure was and that I was finally getting my name changed 36 years after my divorce. I told her that I wouldn't know my ex husband if he walked up to me.

She pointed over to a table and said " He is right over there." I looked and it was a really good looking attorney and I told her that "I might take him." We started laughing. She said she hadn't changed her name back because she was established in her law practice and her married name was easier to remember and pronounce that her maiden name.

It felt like I was just talking to a good friend. She approved it and wished me luck. She could not have been nicer.

I went back to the back of the court room where my brother was seated so we could leave. He was laughing so hard because our conversation was heard by everyone in the court room over her microphone.:D
