Name Change

Name change,

January 8th 2015 I was planning to take my friend Teri to Suffolk Va. for her electrolysis and on the way I wanted to drop off the name change documents. I was thinking that I would drop them off then if and when the change was done the Clerk of Courts office would mail the order to me, well that was not to be.

On the way to drop off my name change documents.

When I got to the Clerk of Courts office the lady asked if I'd had my notice posted for at least 10 days and I told her yes its been up for 5 months now, the reason for the delay is a story for another day. Lets just leave it that the FBI is a bunch of clowns. I digress, she then asked me to have a seat and we'll be with you shortly so I sat down to anxiously await whatever was coming and praying for the best. 

Waiting to for name change.

So far all of my friends had turned their paperwork in and had to wait for weeks but the lady asked me how many copies of my name change that I wanted so I told her 15 as I've heard everyone wants a copy. So far everyone except work has returned the original copies to me after they have scanned it. After about 30 minutes of watching the office staff shuffle papers the Clerk of Court came out to speak with me in person.

What I haven't told you yet is that we were best friends in High School and actually went into the military on the buddy system. While we were going to school we both lifted weights and I'll never forget the first time I got where I could easily bench #300 I showed him and then he laid on the bench and did it without warming up, that was embarrassing. lol I knew he was doing more than me but not how much more, he ended up being a body builder and later a deputy, head detective and now Clerk of Court. I had lost contact with him while dealing with my issues so I really had no idea how he would receive me or if he might delay my name change, I had so many scenarios going through my head and none were good for me!

Well when he came out he shook my hand gave me a hug and told me that he had no idea that i'd been dealing with gender issues for my whole life. He even joked about me paying my witnesses off so I could get the name change. We chatted for about 15 minutes during which time he told me he had been my friend and always would be my friend. So all that worry was over nothing, I knew he was a great guy and should have expected this all along. 

After Electrolysis and seeing our therapists Teri and I celebrated my name change at the No Frill Grill in downtown Norfolk Va. I had a tuna peta wrap that was fantastic, I didn't see one meal go by that didn't look scrumptious. Thanks De Sube for the recommendation to the grill.

Tuna Peta wrap and it was delicious!
