You are reading the words of the newly minted Maura Catherine. The surname remains the same.
I'll admit my hands were shaking when I signed the form, but it wasn't out of trepidation, I assure you. As I finished handing everything in to the clerk & paying, I almost left my driver's license on the counter. A lady picked it up and, seeing me from behind, called me ma'am. Perfect.
The nitty gritty: it took me
I've been grinning like a fool ever since I left the court house.

The nitty gritty: it took me
- $160 - yes, it's supposed to be $150, but they don't make change so I got a couple of extra certified copies - and
- 75 minutes, including 30 minutes spent waiting for the judge to return from lunch to
- the NE district court house in Redmond
I've been grinning like a fool ever since I left the court house.
