Update AFTER the wedding
So clearly the subject line is a lie, because I updated right after the wedding to announce that the wedding happened.
But that was all that I said in that update, so it doesn't really count. ... Work with me.
Life has returned to normal. My lovely family all went home, leaving our house cleaner, neater, and chock full of booze. As far as I'm concerned, my family can come visit any time they want. Heh.
Work is work. Life is life. Being married is ... not really any different. (What do you want from me? we were dating for SIX AND A HALF YEARS before we tied the knot. How different can it be?) I still get a kick out of saying "My husband," which is kind of fun. And um... Ooh! Paying the bills is easier with our shiny new joint account. Oh, and changing your name, HUGE hassle.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited about being Mrs. T, but ... my bank still hasn't sent the new cards and checks, my driver's license isn't here yet, I never know what to sign on papers and receipts... it's just difficult. At the moment, anyway. It'll be much easier in, say, a month, when all the dust has settled and everyone has psuedo adjusted to the new name. *shrugs* As with many things in life, I've just got to wait it out.
Next big project? Moving. If any of you out there have good "pack it up and ship it out" methods, madnesses, etc., I'd be stoked to hear about them. I'm really good at being organized for others, but when it comes to my own stuff... *shakes head* You'd think I'd have this down by now, having moved so often in the last five years. But this time we're moving much further, and I want to make sure things are very organized. I can do organized, I just need a good system. So... four-ish months and counting. Who's got some advice?
Anyone? Anyone?
... Bueller?
So, yeah, like I said. Wedding happened. Pictures, for those interested in looking at lots of dressed-up people they've never met, are here. Life continues apace. And moving. Oh there will be moving. I'm so exited!! I can't wait for it to finally warm up so I can start packing the winter clothes. :D
