As everyone knows, it has taken me a really long time to change my name from Sanford to Edgar. I just had a hard time parting with my maiden name since I got married at 19 ( I wish I would have just changed it back then). The church automatically changed my name to Edgar, and after about a year of marriage I got used to the sound of Erin Edgar and was ready to make the change. But, I had so many excuses and they just kept piling up, so I never switched it. I thought I was taking the easy way out, I couldn't have been more wrong. During the past three years. . .Sam and I opened a joint checking account with the names Sam Edgar and Erin Sanford, we bought a house as Sam Edgar and Erin Sanford, I renewed my driver's license and later my passport as Erin Sanford, and we filed our taxes for 3 years as Sam Edgar and Erin Sanford. We are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary in December, and two weeks ago I finally made the big switch from Sanford to Edgar. I got a new driver's license, social security card, changed my bank info., and ordered new credit cards. It feels good to finally
legally be Erin Edgar, I can't believe it took a baby to motivate me enough to go through all the annoying steps it takes to legally change my name. I love Sam so much and am happy to have his name. When Noah is born, there will be no confusion. . . his last name is Edgar.
