The “day before” has finally arrived and while I should be collecting beads and gorging myself with fasnachts (ok the second part I actually AM doing) I am making a major life altering change…the day BEFORE the big 40 event starts!

Call me crazy but having the same last name as my husband is a pretty big deal. I finally have the marriage license in hand from the Virgin Islands and I am now legally and officially (in the eyes of the Social Security Administration, the DMV of Pennsylvania, and absolutely none of my banks or other billers-hey one step at a time here!) a person with a new last name. My identity has changed. Seemingly…

I feel like I should be more mysterious, get a hair cut, something to also segregate myself from the former me, but that probably won’t happen yet considering I have class tonight and an aggressive need for a short nap…and maybe more fasnachts.
