Merging

Combining two households is never easy. Jon and I have so much stuff between the two of us. Both of us do not like to get rid of things either.

Since I was focusing on wedding planning, I could not help him move. He got rid of many of his big things, and kept some of the small things.

One of the biggest things that we needed was shelf space. When a librarian and a pianist marry, you need lots of shelving. Jon has an extensive collection of music scores and other music related stuff. He is also a big fan of Stephen King and graphic novels, so he needed a place for his books. We also had to have a place for both of our CD and DVD collections.

We still have a lot of work to do! One major tasks is to organize our clothes and closets! It is such a mess right now. I can't find anything.

A word of advice:

If the person you marry has to have cable Internet and you don't already have it, don't have it installed one day before the wedding! Not a good idea!

I had DSL and Jon had cable Internet. He wanted to keep having cable, which was fine with me. It just wasn't the best time to have it set up.

It took us forever to set it up on both of our desktops and then to get the wireless to work for our laptops. Thankfully, that problem has been solved.

We got a more comfortable couch yesterday! It is new to us, and we love it!

The cats are getting used to having their daddy around all the time. I think they like it, because there is someone at home more often.

Jon was also officially put on the lease on Friday, so it is finally our apartment!

We are slowly turing our apartment into our home!
