Too bad Walmer and Palker don't sound so good. Hahahaha. Really, though, nice story.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6409485056752838066.post-9282717503959548822010-11-05T19:25:07.708-07:002010-11-05T19:25:07.708-07:00So, the funny thing about this is that Jason and I...So, the funny thing about this is that Jason and I had very similar conversations before we got married. I had a brief encounter with a hyphenated last name in elementary school after my mom married my step dad, and I HATED it, so the hyphen was out. We considered Jason taking my last name but didn't like the way that Jason Thompson flowed. Finally, we actually discussed at length the possibility of combining our two names to form a new one, but just couldn't find a good way to do it. To this day, we still sometimes refer to ourselves as the "Thomelles" or the "Wellsons"...you can see why this never took root. Anyway, I love the explanation behind your last name, and I love that you and Gary were actually able to do what we only talked about. Ok, enough of the long comment!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559694915673726044noreply@blogger.com
