Usually I love introducing myself by my new last name, or hearing someone introduce me that way. I know a lot of people now that know me only by that name, which is kind of weird because it's only been my name for a couple of months. But usually, I love to hear it or say it or see it written down or whatever.
But other times it just feels really strange. Do you know what I mean? Like it's someone else and not me or something...
Like today, I had to call one of the sisters in the ward to set up an appointment time. For some reason it was almost like I was hearing myself talk instead of doing the talking, and it was really weird to hear myself say my new name. I still have no idea why. I really love my married name, and I love hearing it...it was just weird for a second. I guess it's normal to feel like that?
Speaking of names, I'm in the mood to wander around a cemetery. Brittany, I blame this on you and John. I've always loved cemeteries, though. Especially really old ones! I think it's very relaxing to visit a cemetery.
Maybe I can convince Husband to go with me after he gets home from work?
We'll see.

I think it just takes a little while getting used to. You've heard "hiatt" for two decades and that's your identity, that it takes a little getting used to hearing something else. It was a while before I really felt like "barnett" was really me. :) My favorite thing was Cory introducing me as his "wife". :) So adorable!!!
And by the way, we love bubbles around here, too. :)
Yes, it can be weird to hear and say at times! It's has been weird to see my kids names on paperwork at times. Mostly it's the first and last names together. You'll get more and more used to it!
Totally normal feeling! We're almost eight months into marriage and I still slip with Zywot and still have trouble signing the new name. Even looking at it on paper is still kind of funny....
So glad to to hear I'm not the only one who thought that...lol
How do you put links to your damilies/friends pages?? Still new to this
So, right after I left you that comment I figured it out. I only have you and Jennie's up there but hey....it's a start right? LOL
Oh, and I love that I put damilies instead of families...
We are in building 14D 763. Don't sweat it if you cannot come, but we would love your help and smiling face.
