I am so proud to know Ms. Laurie Jeanette Wickwire, and have to congratulate here here as well as privately on taking this huge step forward. 

Next, all those fiddly paperwork tasks to get the various documents in line. 

[Devlyn]

It's an amazing piece of paper, isn't it?  Congratulations, Laurie! 

Hugs, Devlyn

[Karen]

Love and hugs Cindy.

Hi official Laurie One of the most courageous, insightful, attentive, caring ladies I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

Hi Sadie. Oh what nice words! Who is this Laurie you know. I'd like to meet her. lol  Thank you Hun.

Wow congrats Laurie!! That's a huge step.

And thank yo Dani. Yes it is a huge step and I thought I still had time to back out if it came to that. Somehow they just went ahead a ordered it. So it is living up to Laurie's legacy. The court changing my name already was unplanned. 

It's an amazing piece of paper, isn't it?  Congratulations, Laurie! 

Hugs, Devlyn

  Yes Devyln it is. I keep saying I am Laurie. I say it with awe. Somehow this piece of paper make those words different from all the other times I have said them. Hello, I am Laurie.  See? Aren't they awesome words?
  Thank you Dev.

  Thank you, Karen. I put this thread out here for everyone can see who I am. Good and bad I am in these posts for all to share. Yes, you and everyone that reads it are a part of my journey as I am a part of theirs. I just hope that my story helps someone else in their own journeys. I have been help by so many others here by sharing their journeys and their posts in mine. I thank everyone for their help.
  Yes, Oregon is a fairly accepting state for the LGBTIQ+ community. Those simplifying changes here and in Washington state were changed just this last January. I am so happy they did.

Well done , join the club (bit late but no internet) feels goooooood don't it.

  Hi Davina, I think the shock is wearing off and the "feels good" is setting in. OMG I am really Laurie!! This may take some time to get used to. I should be practicing my signature so I can actually write it when needed.
Thank you Davina. Laurie is born....  where's my cake?  lol

Hugs,
  Laurie

  Thank you, Girlfriend. Michelle my belle. This is your fault. You made me do it. You with this silly idea of going on a cruise  sometime, somewhere and my needing a passport to do it. I didn't want more official documents in his name so I needed to submit those forms to change his name into mine. It's done. So it is all your fault!! I should make you work on getting everything else changed too. You Started all thins.
  Thank you Hon

Congratulations what a great outcome

  Thank you very much Liz. Yes I remember those conversations vividly. It did seem nigh on impossible then and very well could have been. It was a source of much consternation for me. Law changed and someone gave me the impetus to try and wow just look what happened.... I am Laurie!! Really.

Hugs,

Oh, Laurie (officially) doesn't scare me. The worse she can do is give me a slap, which I am used to now. She can try putting me up on the fridge, but that would mean she has to come here to do so. I will gladly get on the fridge for that, she owes me some real life hugs.[emoji12][emoji16]

Cruise = ccrossiing the ocean.  I'd watch out if I were you!

[sarah1972]

Boat Trip? @Steph2.0 : Maybe time to start a new map 

@Michelle_P: Guess time to book those cruise tickets :-) Laurie deserves a little treat for being so brave.
