Big married-life changes! August is a crazy month!!!

Gen, on July 31, 2019 at 12:02 PM Posted in Married Life 0 44

My hubby and I finally got our own place (EDIT: just renting, but still! Lol) After living with my family the past year to save up (and then delaying our move by a few months because we realized house hunting and wedding planning at the same time was a nightmare lol) we finally found the cutest little 2 bed 2 bath condo, and we’re moving in 10 days! We’ve been living together for a year but this is the first time we’re ever going to live ALONE together and we could not be more excited to finally have our own place 😄

In addition to that, we BOTH just got huge promotions that we’re starting this month! Husband starts his on Monday, and I start mine—which is basically my dream job, I’m going to be a corporate events manager and social media strategist!—2 weeks after that.

Also, not really “our” thing, but one of husband’s best friend’s wife is due with their first baby this month too, so we’re about to be honorary aunt and uncle any day now!

It is CRAZY how quickly everything is happening all at once, but I’m SO grateful for the beautiful life we are creating together as newlyweds. I’m just so excited about everything, I had to share with you all!

What exciting changes have happened to you all since getting married?! Or if you’re not married yet, what do you have planned? 🙂

    After we get married, we’re planning on getting a golden retriever and I’m so excited!

    Omg that’s amazing! Our original plan was to get pets after we got married but, my brother fosters cats sometimes and husband and I totally fell in love with two of them back in December so we ended up with our 2 cats 6 months before the wedding 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

    That’s so exciting 😄 I love living together. I’ve seen posts that say marriage is basically just an endless sleepover with your best friend and honestly that just feels so accurate and it’s great.

    That's exciting! We come back from our honeymoon tomorrow, and we are planning on looking for a place to! We're also in the market for 2 bed 2 bath condos/townhouses lol. We've been renting for 5 years and want to buy.

    Congratulations! That is all so exciting! My husband and I have basically just been talking about the future a lot. It's great but also overwhelming. My husband has owned our home for a few years already. We'd like to upgrade but honestly, we're frugal lol. We are thinking of starting a family soon. We are still planning our honeymoon. 🤷‍♀️

    Just renting! We aren’t sure where we want to settle indefinitely yet, so the 1 year lease where we can be more flexible is all we wanted at this point Smiley smile

    And totally agree with your other comment lol every day is a good day to adopt cats 😻

    That’s awesome and so exciting for you! We really wanted a 2-story townhouse but our area is so freaking expensive that we figured (especially because we’re only renting) it was better to save the money and just have 1 floor for now 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2 bath was just so necessary because I don’t want the cat litter in the same bathroom where I shower and brush my teeth 😂

    Good luck with your house hunt and enjoy the last day of your honeymoon!!

    We're so indecisive! We were thinking about going to an island in the Caribbean but my husband has never been out of the country before. He honestly just drags his feet on everything lol. So now were looking at going to Savannah/Tybee Island in the fall.

    We actually almost went to Savannah for ours! It seems like such a cute city, I still want to go there so badly. I’ve heard it’s like “the Denver of the south” and Denver is my favorite place ever so I imagine I would like savannah quite a lot 😂

    We ended up going to the Bahamas and it was lovely, if you’re considering it and want recommendations!
