It's about time...

When I was nineteen I stupidly got married--the only good thing to come out of it was my son. I kept his last name until I re-married about three years ago. Like the tradition calls, I took soon to be ex hubby's last name. The only thing I never changed my last name on was my license...it has always been in my maiden name.


I finally got tired of people asking me my last name and trying to remember who has my married and who has my maiden name on file. I called the SS service yesterday and explained to them the situation, hubby and I are separated but at this point probably never going to get the official divorce.

Apparently all I have to do is show them my license and I can get my maiden name back! I'm sooooooo excited! I just hope what the woman told me was true!

Wish me luck!

Way to reclaim yourself, Jen. I know it seems like a simple thing but I think it is a big step.

It would have been a great step if it had worked out! LOL People who work for the gov't are sheep! I was born with this freakin' name and they won't give it back because we're not divorced..urgh!
