My Last Name
Yep, our adoreable flower girls are right. Exactly 30 days from today, I will be Mrs. Wierer.
Man, that statement holds a ton of feeling. I mean, come on! 32 years of my life as "Sara Krause" are suddenly in a blink of an eye changing to "Sara Wierer." Such an odd feeling.
I've always held great pride in my last name. My father is an only child - so my sister and I are the absolute last of the Krause generation. That is CRAZY to comprehend, I mean crazy!
Here's a pic of the Krause's I grew up with. I just love these old pics. The kiddo is my dad - what a cutie.
I heard a song earlier this summer that really got me thinking
(as if I wasn't already thinking about all this). It's so right on:
I hold all the pride in the world in my last name...but then I also love that Carl chose to share his pride with me. It is a great honor and I am excited to share the last name with our future children and building that pride within them. Maybe some day I'll have a daughter that will experience these feelings and will have the opportunity to tell her about the prides of my life.
However, I'm not denying this: you are likely to see a "Krause" tattoo on my body before the wedding. Dad, when can you join me?!
