My entire life - my greatest love has been my family. I have the most loving and generous parents who have been married for almost 40 years. I grew up seeing a healthy loving relationship and that really set the standard high for me. I finally found the one for me 4 years ago and man - I hope we get to celebrate our 40th anniversary together and more! (I’ll be 75, he’ll be 80! Totally doable right?) I moved home to Memphis from NYC after only knowing him 6 months. We moved in together…we were engaged 6 months later…..and then married that next year. It’s not always perfect….but it’s working out quite well. I love him more every day and I hope the same is true for him. Thinking about this month’s topic – LOVE – I knew right away what would be my focus this month. I will do what I need to do to officially change my name.

1. Get copies of your marriage license - certified.
2. Social Security office first. Within 10 days they will notify the IRS.
3. DMV - change your driver's license.
4 Change your name with other agencies like passport, banks, credit cards, utilities, cell phone, place of employment.
Sounds manageable - those of you who have done it let me know if you have any pointers!
I'll keep ya posted!
