Newlywed up for chatting :-)

Hi, I just got married a few weeks ago and having a hard time getting back to reality! I miss having something to plan for and things to look up and work on all the time. I'm so sad our amazing honeymoon is over and we don't really have anything to look forward to for awhile. We're not quite ready to start a family so we're just a boring married couple now. Anyone else feel the same?? How did you get out of the funk???

I'm right there with ya, sister. I wouldn't say things have been exciting, but some of the things we have been doing...

- Started marathon-watching TV shows (we're watching Breaking Bad and Orange is the New Black, both on Netflix)

- Trying new restaurants (now that budget defense is over, we can spend money again!)

- Cooking/baking (I missed it so much!)

Other than that... just desperately waiting for my wedding photos to come back!

Hello!! I'm a brand-new newlywed (10/18) and I too have found it difficult to readjust. Our biggest issue right now is organizing and storing all the gifts we received for the wedding. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment and it's hard deciding where to put everything! Any ideas or suggestions? I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of china and crystal lol!

Hope everyone is enjoying married life!!

I felt similar when I got back from our honeymoon. I adopted a dog (new family member) and worked on training him. Also I'm in Grad school so that took/ takes up a lot of my time. Lastly, we bought a new house right before we got married so I've been doing projects on the house. 

I suggest finding a new thing to keep you busy so you don't go crazy or get depressed. 

Also I realized that I neglected my friends during my engagment, and after the wedding I tried to start hanging out with them again.

I ve been thinking and keeping busy by redecorating and planning to buy our own home, we arent ready for children yet either but painting and building a home really keeps me busy.
