So my mom finally said that Amy is a nice name. Yay !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

She likes it and that it’s one of the names frequently used in the spiritual books she reads. Hmmm … I think we can comfortably conclude it certainly is not me playing any of those roles in the books she’s reading.<\/p>\n

Though during our recent conversation, she did say that she wished I would have chosen a name that kept my initials the same, but then quickly moved on to saying that she really liked the name Sara (Sarah, Sera) too.<\/p>\n

That she really liked it.<\/p>\n

Does someone smell a hint? lol (The world can never have enough Sara’s ! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

And at some other point she commented that it’s not necessarily fair that I chose my name, they should get some say in it. Ahhhh …. I never really imagined the whole naming thing would become such a popular topic !! lol I think it would be neat to let them have a say in it … sorta bonding in a way … but on the other hand … I’m Amy. It totally fits me.<\/p>\n

Anyways … it was all said just in passing, talking, non-judgmental, thinking out loud comments … Mom does say what’s exactly on her mind.<\/p>\n

The only thing that she was somewhat definitive about was my last name. She said that she really wants me to keep the family last name, (pssst … Preston isn’t my family last name. \ud83d\ude09 ) … “Because when I introduce you, I want people to know that you’re my daughter.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Kewl ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh, but then moments later a sense of realization hit her …<\/p>\n

I’m not going to like the outfits you wear, am I?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I suspect it’ll be an issue between us.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

You’re not going to dress like a tramp ! That simply will NOT be acceptable.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I don’t, I just like short things, but they are always … tasteful. Hey Dad, distract Mom for a second. I’m going to sneak out the back door while I still have a chance.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

<*snicker* *snicker*><\/p>\n

As all will eventually see … I’m still me … just different. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
