Today I chose a slow morning by making and enjoying one of my favorite breakfasts with the mister, and I am so glad I did. There's something about a slow morning that feeds productivity for the rest of the day. And what better way to start out the new season than with a little productivity, and perhaps a name change?
I had been dreading the process of changing my name ever since my latest visit to the SSA to get a new social security card in order to apply for out marriage license. During said visit I had to make the trek downtown, wander around a random building searching for the office, and then sit in the SSA for 2 hours before finally getting a small piece of paper with my ss number on it. So much work for such a minor task. So as not to stress myself out over this one task - going to SSA to begin the name change process, I took my morning slow.
Maybe it was the lovely morning I had with my husband, or the change in seasons, or maybe just the presence of real sunshine, but the name change went so well! I got into the office and saw a room full of people waiting for their ticket number to be called, grabbed my own ticket, and took a deep breath before sitting down to wait hours before being called. But, much to my surprise, they called my number within 5 minutes and I was out of there within ten! Whew! Two hours later I had changed my name at the SSA, DMV, bank, insurance agency, and the university. I couldn't be more thankful for how smoothly everything went, and I am beyond excited to officially be Mrs. Alicia Knitt.
Side Note* Whenever an opportunity arises to make little hearts in Buck's food, I take them. I'm just waiting for the day when he's over it. ;) And the Cheesy-Wife-of-the-Year Award should probably go to me.
