What are your plans after becoming his wife??

Nshivers · May 2012

Funny thing happened at work yesterday: I was asked what are our plans after the wedding, HM, etc..

Well, I haven't really just thought about it. I start grad school in September, but nothing much else I guess. We're a 'military couple' so there won't be buying a house or any of that since we move every 2-3 years. I guess I should've answered: 'well, since I won't be wedding planning anymore.. the money I'm using now to save I can spend on us!'

Have you thought about it yet?? What are your thoughts?

Growin a baby.... and enjoying our new house and our time together. I refuse to make plans! I just want to get through the wedding! I am really looking forward to a nice, slow-paced summer.

midgetthemighty · May 2012

Lots of scrapbooking, staying up till whenever the hell I want, sleeping with H *wink*, getting to go on weekend trips with my H without judgement, etc.

The funny thing is that we get so wrapped up in wedding planning we forget that there is life afterwards!

I think we'll relax and save up for a one year anniversary vacation. We'll have a lot more money once the wedding is over! Our Honeymoon isn't until November so we'll have that to look forward to. Also, two of our best friends are getting married in Septemeber so we'll be busy helping with that as well!

We haven't been that wrapped up in wedding planning. We're just going to enjoy our time being H and W. My cousin is getting married in August so we'll be back for that. We'll also be 6 hours closer to my beach house so I see us spending long weekends there and wekend visits to IL's lake house

DrPB2b13 · May 2012

Cleaning out the house, getting things ready to donate, painting our living room, deciding if I'm going to a doctoral program straight out of my master's, working on my thesis, prepping for my next year of school, going on our HM in January, going for walks with our dog, relaxing at home, watching the summer Olympics, continuing to work on my health, picking up my dollhouse hobby again....basically, life. I'm also considering becoming a Big Sister through BBBS.

Zimsgirl · May 2012

I'll continue school and deal with FI's military/medical stuff. That's the big stuff. We'll probably buy a house in 2-3 years

daria24 · May 2012

We both need to find new jobs when we get back in July. Other than that it will just be normal life. If FI gets a good job relatively soon we could probably think about buying an apartment in 3 to 5 years.

kelsey+brandon · May 2012

More of the same, just more time for it.

We'll have football/tailgating in the fall, go on longer walks outdoors, have more dinners and drinks with friends, maybe start a dinner club or book club, can some veggies/make salsa/tomato sauce/more jam from my parent's garden, and just enjoy being married. I also really want to learn how to needlepoint and smock.

hose85 · May 2012

we haven't lived together so there are those adjustments. FI is finishing his degree then will start on his masters and i am so excited to have a house to decorate and put in "order". and i'll keep working...probably look at starting a family soon....EEESH!! but i plan on doing allot of relaxing with my new H, he wants to try to take weekend trips together to local places over the few months after we get married.

This. Almost exactly. The exception is that it is the scrapbooking which coincides almost exclusively with "staying up til whenever the hell I want." :-) H will have to deal.

Kfudge0714 · May 2012

we are going to work on our house... tons of projects we want to do but the money has been going to the wedding so we've been putting house projects off. We are also going to start saving money for our dream vacation to Hawaii before we start having kids

LiveLaughLove04 · May 2012

A lot of the same stuff but adding in house hunting! Then settling into our new lives with a house and a dog or two.

Shelly527IN · May 2012

Getting his house ready to rent will take most of July. Then we'll spend weekends hiking, spending time with friends and just spending time together.

HarperBargo · May 2012

We haven't been consumed with wedding planning and our routines will continue. We will continue to play on our 3 sport teams and go to trivia every week. We will continue working on our house and making it just right for us and the dogs. Of course we will keep traveling and making awesome trips. I am really looking forward to being married and enjoying one another.

KrisKenny · May 2012

Our routines may totally alter, but not because we are married. We may be getting custody of FI's 3 youngest children (9, 11, & 12). That will change a lot of things.

If that doesn't happen, our routine will pretty much be the same as it is now. Our kids and their sports take up a good portion of our time, but we love it. Baseball is going on now through the summer, then football & cheerleading in the fall.

I will be picking back up with my couponing and trying to save as much money as I can that way. With wedding planning and everything else, it was just too much to try to keep up with it all.

kathleenkmm · May 2012

Continuing to lose weight, working on growing his business, tidying up our house. Once we both hit our goal weights we're going to start trying to have kids.

cwill6212 · May 2012

We're both in school (I'll be finished in Nov) so that will be a focus. Also, FI has been out of work since Jan, so we will be evaluating that. To stay put in KY or start shopping his resume out of state and comtemplate a big move. Depending on that decision, we may be saving $ for a late honeymoon or 1st anniversary trip--or saving for a move. We shall see!

janeash · May 2012

Fun quiet summer hopefully and then going to Australia for FI's brother's wedding in Jan. After that, just continuing on as normal....enjoying our time together!

caitlintaylor07 · May 2012

We will continue to live apart during the week

. I have a summer employment i've had for 7 years that really helps pay the bills (i make really good $$) so I don't want to pass that up. FI is military so it's not an option for him to move closer. In September me and the boys will be moving 'full time' into our new home. Then it's deciding if FI is going to get out or reenlist. I want to go back to nursing school at some point. I also have 10+ weddings left to shoot this year.

rachellola77 · May 2012

We will be able to focus on house projects that have been taking the back-burner and MORE weddings! FI is standing up in one three weeks after ours and I'm a BM in a close friends in September. I'm really looking forward to things settling down.

[Deleted User] · May 2012

We both have great jobs and hope to save for a house....we love to travel so hopefully find some time in our busy lives to get away. I have community committees that I sit on and those are social events that we look forward to attending! Lots of stuff, I guess!!

jfellows82 · May 2012

Quietly settling into married life then TTC

amandaf6383 · May 2012

We have a really busy summer. We are both in three weddings between the time we get back from HM and late September. After that, we're planning on taking some time to relax and enjoy each other and NOT be constantly planning something.

In a year or two we will probably start TTC.

MichelleAG05 · May 2012

Adjusting to living together and making room in my house for his stuff and all the gifts from the wedding! We'll still play softball and go to lots of Rangers games. Aggie Football in the fall. I'm hopefully getting a promotion in July when we're back, so that will be fun! FI is looking for a new job, though casually.

michelletobin · May 2012

We have a lot of plans that are up in the air. I have 3 children 11, 10, 3 yrs (all boys) from previous marriage. lots of sports stuff, but we are going to be working on house projects at my house when H is home. WIth his job he travels a lot and is only home about 1-2weeks out of the month. Want to eventually sell both of our houses and buy one larger one together. Possibly TTC deponding on how the above stuff goes. Lots to figure out as we adjust to our new roles in each others lives.

brittneyh4 · May 2012

I don't really think anything is going to change, we've lived together for a few years already so we don't have that transition period that a lot of couples have. No big plans, we'll TTC next year sometime but it's not specifically planned yet (want to get through the wedding first). We'll just keep working and having our fun on the weekends!

SheilaDancer43 · May 2012

Haha, my mom just asked me the other day, "What are you going to do after the wedding is over and you don't have any planning"? I told her I will be fine. I'm going to be going back to school for another 6 years, so that's my plan. Other than school and being happily married, I'm not sure what more there needs to be "planned"...

abunger · May 2012

We've got a crazy summer... packing up and moving, I start a new position August 1, need to prep for class beginning Aug 22.

bee&bee · May 2012

1st we're going to move me into our condo! I have a bridal shower the week we get home from the HM for a girls wedding I'm standing up in. H sister is pregnant with twins and will be due anytime at that point. We have my cousin's wedding in July, then in Aug the wedding I'm standing up in. There's a wedding in Sept that H is standing up in and another cousin's wedding in Oct. Then I start the last quarter of my graduate program in Oct. So the rest of this year is not relaxed at all for us...maybe 2013 will be the year we get to relax, maybe.

Melissa603 · May 2012

Going to everyone else's wedding!
