I filled all the paperwork at the courthouse today to legally change my name. YAY! This was a huge milestone!!!
Turns out, there's a lot you have to do (and a lot you have to pay!) In addition to lots of paperwork for the court, you also have to put an ad in the local paper for three weeks announcing the change, and you have to get the fact that you did so certified by the newspaper. You also have to pay the paper for the honor.
But, I did, and I strutted myself down to the paper from the courthouse in my stiletto boots and back again, and I was given a court date to appear in court.
Previously, my longest supporting friend asked me what my new birthday would be, and I didn't know what she meant. I had only just recently picked a new name!
When I got my court date, it was obvious what my new birthday would be... April 1st, 2008!
It seems life (and the court system) is not without a sense of humor!
