I'm a horrible 43Things-er... 3 months ago

I just realized that my last entry was 9 months ago, and I also realized that I don’t log in to 43 Things as much as I should…so this is my main goal now! Until it becomes a (hopefully) daily habit! :-)

get married (read all 2 entries…)
We're hitched! 12 months ago

My honey and I got married at the courthouse (details in my last entry) on October 17, 2008. I can say with absolute certainty that I don’t regret getting married in a courthouse one bit! We focused on the marriage itself and our commitment to each other and it was witnessed by our closest family members, as opposed to a crazy over-priced blown-up spectacle where I would have lost my freaking mind with stress. Our parents and siblings loved being there with us. We all had a nice lunch at a local Italian restaurant following the ceremony, and then my hubby and I spent the weekend at a bed and breakfast in southern Indiana. It was a great day and weekend!

On another marriage-related note, I decided not to change my last name. It feels a little weird being in the vast minority of married women, but I like my last name, and I don’t feel that I should have to change part of who I am because I get married. Now I suppose I’ll have to explain myself every time I’m called Mrs. —! sigh :-)

- install new blinds in sunroom
- replace kitchen countertops
- install new light fixture in dining area
- reseal windows on the outside (we need to do this soon, winter is coming!)
