The Austins

After seven and a half years, Angela has finally proven her love for me. She legally changed her name. It's official! Angela M. Austin is in the house!

We've been talking about it for awhile, but over the past few weeks we've been sensing that the time was right. She took the day off work today and was at the Denton County Courthouse by 8am. By 8:45 she was calling me saying the judge had already granted the petition. She was finished with name change requests at the social security and driver's license offices by 11:15, and with the bank by noon. Such an over achiever. She spent the rest of the day curled up with her favorite pen practicing her cool new signature, which is actually somewhat legible this time. :-)

We had a holy union a few years ago, but this year we're taking steps to become a more unified family. So we changed all the dogs' names to Austin too. Who knows, maybe we'll add a real live kid someday.

We celebrated with a late lunch at La Hacienda. Nothing says "yay yay for AMA" like a cup of queso and some sundance fajitas. I like the new initials. It's cool being hitched to the American Music Awards. Hmm hmm hmm!
