After all of this DMV talk I just realized I will have to go back there again in a few months to change my name on my drivers license.  At the same time I realize that I will have to create a new signature.  Do you know how long I have been practicing my current signature.  Since I learned cursive in elementary school.  I think I just perfected it a few years ago.  I adapted the cursive capital letter T from what is rather an awkward letter to this beautiful single stroke curve.  This is all I include from my first name then I do a big K and scratch out the rest of the letters in an effortless motion that is just me.  I just tried T Goodwin, do you know what a screwed up letter the capital cursive G is?  After some practice I think I will keep my T, skip the cursive G and do a regular G followed by ood, which is tough sledding for me and takes extra effort to make good o’s never having had much practice with cursive o’s and end with a scribble signifying the rest.  I like it T Good…  Maybe that will be my next license plate, well maybe not to avoid another trip to the DMV.

One more reaction to getting married soon story.  I signed up for a triathlon in October.  The form asked for an emergency contact so I listed Elliott, and for relationship I realized that in October he will be my husband, weird!  We have done some planning and lots of talking about it, but it is interesting to think beyond the wedding, the event, the action, and realize that he will be my husband.  Seems like something I will enjoy saying a bunch after June to soak it in.  And don’t feel bad if I don’t turn around when you say Teresa Goodwin, that is going to take some practice as well.
