So there are basically only two things left for me to change. I need to close out my bank account so I stop signing Brooke Kerby everywhere, and I need to change my temple recommend so they stop welcoming to the temple as Sister Kerby. I think that's funny. They should just change the name for you right there, as long as we're at the temple already, and they know I'm worthy, they should have just filled in my last name. Oh well. It's almost all the way official now :o)

It's Almost All the Way Official
Holy gracious. Men get off easy, they get to keep their names. I think that when you get married, they should hand the wife a list right away of all the things she has to change. This sure has been a hastel for me. Maybe I'm just clueless and everyone else already knew, but there's a ton to do. I first had to change my social, that way I could change my license, that way I could change the name my car was registered under. I also had to change my name at the district office and put Clayton on my insurance (oh, that's a whole other fiasco on it's own). I've been put onto Clayton's bank account (who misspelled my name on my cards, so they have to send me new ones) and I'll close mine out at the end of the summer, because my summer checks are already lined up to go into my current account. My loans and car payments I'm not changing because I figure as long as they get paid, they don't care what the name on the check is.

This makes the little feminist in me (or is it a big feminist in me? probably) re-vow to never change my name. The future Mr. Taylor can either change his name or just deal with it. I'm dreading the fact that I have to retitle and re-register my car when I take it to Boston this year, I can't imagine having to look up all my old bank accounts which I never closed and change my name on my social security card...or...horror of horrors...have to get a new driver's licence that doesn't have that picture of 15-year-old Laura with the dreamcatcher necklace....
