It's still strange having a new last name. I caught myself trying to write my maiden name on a test in class today! Now don't get me wrong, I love my new last name, but after all.. I had one and only that one last name for 21 years and fell in love with my last name. It was very dear to me, and still seems to be, which may be why I feel a bit bitter about losing it. Madison Marie LeMay. I miss it still and am wondering when I'm going to get used to being Madison Marie Cossel? It bothers me that I am still not used to it! Am I the only one that has had this happen? Surely not, but I feel bad that I miss my maiden name more then I'm enjoying my new married name. *sigh* I hope that soon I start to embrace it and let go of the old. I love how supportive my family is with my dreams and choices in life! They always have my back and loads of encouragement and cheers to go along with it! It's very inspiring and uplifting. It has really helped solidify my confidence in making the right choices despite the odds.
