What's In a Name?

A lot! And as I learned, to change your name is a process. One I didn't know about before I got married ( not that I wouldn't have married Brian b/c of it but come on! ) You don't realize how many things have your name on it until you try to change it.

So I have made my trips to the Social Security Office (which wasn't too bad b/c I ran into Shannon), the Driver's License office, the bank - to get our checking account together and many other places to change from Bradley to Estes, all the while Brian just went on with life. I think I have most of it done, some things will have to wait like my passport, etc...but maybe, just maybe, I have changed my name on most everything.

Now don't get me wrong - I am VERY THRILLED to be an Estes - and I feel I have been for a while before we got married but just for clarification, my name has now legally changed to Amanda Estes - how fun! And all of this was All Worth It to now become Mr. & Mrs. Brian Estes!

Shan - haha - I think I will get the new TX DL when it comes in - I have the paper copy right now...

Brian - I hope you get your DL soon so you will stop asking me when it is coming! You just had to change your address and pic!
