Aren't They Purrrrrrrr-fect?:)

Thank you. I thought they looked like a butterfly too, in the thumbnail.:)

I kept my name when hubby and I got married, and we kept our own bank accounts too. After three divorces Hubby didn't like the idea of joint accounts anymore, and I'm way too much of a control freak to ever submit to a joint account. LOL It's probably safer for BOTH OF US, to have our own bank accounts. I can be a real 13itch when it comes to money.

A cute thing did happen to him today though, because of my cheques (not the new ones, they haven't arrived yet of course, but the old ones that I have). I got paid today, and Hubby gets paid tomorrow. He wanted to run down to the Asian market to get us some food for dinner, and asked me to lend him some cash. I didn't feel like going out till later that day when I was going to go to the coffee shop anyway, and he didn't feel like waiting. I decided that I was going to order new cheques anyway, so I might as well use up the old ones. So I wrote him a check, and put on a few more bucks than he asked for, because I thought he might want a pack of cigarettes. So off he went to the bank.

Having two different last names, and having opened my account at a different branch than the one by our apartment, I wrote "from your wife, please buy something for dinner" in the Memo field.

"And thank you very much, Mr. Christensen" the teller told him cheerfully, after asking him what we were going to have for dinner.

My husband just beamed, and told her proudly that that was a compliment, but it was my name, that I kept it after we got married, but it was still a compliment to him to be called that.:) We agreed to have separate names, since if he were to take mine, the general majority would still assume that I'd taken his. LOL He actually likes it when people call us Ms. & Mr. Leah Christensen:)

WHAT A MAN I HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

That is such a beautiful last name, and such a sweetie to feel complimented even at being called as such. Some men, I can only assume, would be offended rather then feel complimented.

I also understand that you are keeping your namesake to give respect to your family, and maybe (not sure if I got this part right) because you are the last of the Christensen's?

I am not proud of my namesake, though I would take my fiance's last name even if I were because I enjoy the romanticism of the idea of his last name as well.. It's all heart...

Oh, those are cute!!! If you can find a blank template on your bank's website, I'd LOVE to see those. I love my bank. I was able to save the preview, so I wouldn't have to post a picture of my cheque with all the info on it. LOL

I was looking and found this one, there's 4 different checks. The info of course is something that was on the site that I ordered my checks from, IT IS NOT REAL (just thought I better add that so no dummies try to do check fraud with the picture)

My American husband thinks our English spelling is pretty cool too. It's really neat, the differences in spelling and pronounciation sometimes.

No letter "Zee" in the Canadian alphabet, for example. It's the letter "Zed." haha

some I like, some I don't, I guess if it goes toward the French way of spelling I pretty much don't care for it, tho I do rather like the "ou" in things like color/colour and humor/humour.
