Just like being done with school there’s another thing that’s come to an end officially… and that’s my marriage.
As of a couple of weeks ago I am officially divorced.
I
really thought at the beginning of all of this that I would have more
to say when it was all official… but it turns out I don’t.
I
wouldn’t say I’m sad… I wouldn’t say I’m happy… I am just kind of ‘eh’
about the entire thing. I mean, I guess in the end the big stuff has
already happened and this is just putting the period at the end of the
sentence finally. That actually makes it sound bigger than it is…
Either
way… it’s officially done. We are divorced and that’s that. I’m not
really going to say much more about it, because most of what I’ve
wanted/needed to say I’ve said. But if you have any questions on the
specifics, I’d be happy to answer them.
I
will say this, mostly b/c it’s come up a couple of time. I’ve decided
to stick with my married last name of Jones. I considered going back,
but honestly changing your name is such a PITA and I didn’t really want
to do it. Also, at work, people here have always known me as Jones. I
also work on a national level so going to a new-to-them last name would
probably be confusing and people would probably assume I got married and
not the opposite. Could it be done? Sure, I just chose to not to. If
I ever get married again, I will take on their last name… most likely.
So that’s what that is.
