It was official on Friday January 23, 2009. Michael John Bender became Michael John Adams. His middle name fits the Adams well with all of the Johns we had through our family history. He was a little nervous know he had to go in the courtroom and see a judge. It took some explaining from Christina for him to understand that it wasn't a bad thing.It was a great day for everyone. Christina's mom, my mom and dad, Bradley, and Little Cody all got to come in the courtroom with us. The judge let us take as many pictures as we wanted and at the end, even came down, gave Mikey the pen he signed the order with, as well as stand in for a picture.
There is something about the final yes that changed things. He as always been a BIG part of the house. I love having him around, he makes me laugh a lot. But for some reason, it feels much different now that he has my last name.
We all went to have ice cream after the hearing. Becky meet up with us too. It was a great day for everyone, even the judge had a big smile on his face. I just wish everyone could have been there.
