Post-Wedding To-Do's

Wow. It's hard to believe that Aaron and I got married last month already!! (Haha, I know, it's only been 4 days, but it was last month. And we're huge dorks!!) But now that "it's all over" everyone keeps asking what we'll do to keep busy. I haven't rambled off the list for everyone, but as I think about it, I realize that we almost have more to do Post-Wedding than we did in the year-long preparation. I think we were so concerned about not getting things done and overloading ourselves that we sort of "under-loaded" ourselves. So, things to do following the wedding...

1) Our marriage license arrived today, so the name change process must begin. Driver's license, SS card, the university, work, bank accounts...

2) We need to re-do our bedroom. Our furniture is falling apart, so that needs to be replaced, and our new linens introduce a new color scheme, so the walls need to be painted.

3) We've also been putting off painting the living room until things "calm down" after the wedding.

4) Go through all the cabinets in the kitchen and decide what stays and what goes. Aaron just told me last night that we have a deep fat fryer, which I had no idea about after 2 years together!! If that's the extent of the surprises though, I think we're doing okay!!

5) Look through all of Aaron's "stuff" that his parents found in their basement.

6) Organize everything for our garage sale that we WILL have next Spring.

7) Figure out what to do with all of our wedding decorations and try to reclaim our house!!

8) Write thank-you notes to everyone who helped us celebrate our day!!

9) 3 weeks from today we'll be going out to Ohio for 5 days to visit some of my family for Thanksgiving. Aaron's birthday and finals week follow shortly after that. Then it's Christmas time with 5 or 6 family Christmas' this year.

I don't think we need to worry about getting bored!! I'm guessing that there will always be something to keep us busy.
