Combining Finances
Our Wedding
I've been promising a wedding post, but I really wasn't quite sure where to start! It was such an amazing incredible day and I could literally spend hours going into all the details! I decided to break it down into the major pieces.. the things that brides spend their time planning and checking off their lists. Hopefully something will inspire you :)
I also felt it was a little too much for a single blog post, so with a little inspiration from Young House Love, I decided to dedicate a page to it! Bear with me, it's a work in a progess. We had a very DIY wedding, so I hope to eventually add some tutorials on our wedding decor, some planning tips, as well as some vendor recommendations. This blog may be more geared towards crafts and home decor, but I loved every aspect of wedding planning, so I am happy to share anything that might help other brides!! Enjoy!
Please check out our awesome wedding photographer too! All of the posted wedding photos were taken by Anna Kerns. If you want the sweetest photographer around, check her out!
Backyard Oasis
That's one of four piles we made that size of branches we trimmed!
Happy New Year!
- Paint the living room. I've had the paint for a while but decided to hold off for the sake of not having to move the Christmas tree and all the furniture to the middle of the room around the holidays. I hope to actually get it done this month!
- Finish decorating the foyer/entryway. We painted it and instealled new light fixtures in November. I still need to find an entry table, a rug, and some artwork and accessories. I want to get it totally finished by the end of the month because once I'm done with that, I can finally move on to the upstairs!!!
- Organize the basement. This is going to be a tough one. We moved in rather quickly since we closed on the house, got married, went on our honeymoon, and moved out of our rental all in a two week time frame, so a lot of stuff just got shoved in the basement. There are piles EVERYWHERE. It's an unfinished basement, so it's not a huge deal. But chaos stresses me out. So I NEED to organize it!!!!
- Post wedding pictures. I would like to share our wedding with you! This month I hope to get some pictures uploaded and share some of the details with you!
- Update aquarium stand. Since we moved we put our saltwater fish into a smaller tank for ease of moving. Before we move them back to their bigger tank, we want to sand and paint the stand to match my new craft room/office area. This is something Pete can help with, so hopefully we can cross it off our to do list this month too!
- Organize the craft room. Before I move the aquarium into this room, I want to finish organizing everything to make space for it! It would also be helpful to be more organized so that I can start spending more time on crafts and scrapbooking without having to dig around for stuff.
- Create a home binder. What better way to start off an organized new year than by building a home binder!?! I see them all over Pinterest and have started collecting ideas for things that I feel are important to keep track of. I'm currently looking for a pretty binder so I can get started!
- Set up a budget. Hubby and I are working on combining our finances and accounts so we are going to set up a working budget. Lucky for me, hubby works in finance, so it shouldn't be too tricky :)
That seems like a lot to accomplish in one month, but one of my personal resolutions is to be more productive, so we'll see how it goes! :) Please let me know if you have any ideas that might help me out with one of my goals!!!
