so DH and I never see each other because I am gone to work each day from 6am-5pm monday through friday and he works 3-11pm 4 days a week plus most weekends (overtime).  I decided I needed something to do while he was gone at night so I signed up for a bunch of community learning (no credit) classes at our local community college.  In the next 3 months I will be taking-beginning watercolor painting, holiday candy making, & cake decorating 101!  Hopefully I will learn something and have some fun!  What are all of you doing now that they wedding stuff is over?

Well I'm still a student, so I'm very busy but I have taken up a bit of sewing and some more reading.

I alter wedding dresses as a side gig, so it feels like the fun never ends!

I'm also a student and have been crazy busy with studying.  I'm also getting into craft ideas to decorate our apartment.  Right now, I'm making fabric flowers to hang down our wall in our dining area.  It's going to take a long time to make the flowers, so I have plenty to keep me occupied.

I am a teacher, so that keeps me super busy...but for fun, I joined a company called Everyday Style and am now a consultant (sales girl lol). I will do house parties, etc. and make a little extra cash in the process! Plus it helps to fill the 'party planning' void.

I love to read, so I am trying to fit that in as well...and of course somewhere in there I really REALLY want to find the time to start scrapbooking.

I am also a Big Sister, so spending time with my new 'little' will be on my agenda as well!

I signed up for a piano class because I too never see my husband. Then they cancelled the piano class because of lack of interest. I bought a new keyboard and everything.

So now my hobby is writing thank yous. (Yes I am still working on them) When I finally finish I will pick a new hobby but still would like to take another piano class.

I had thought that without wedding planning I would have so much free time!  But that isn't turning out to be true.  There are somehow always a million things we need to get done around the apt.  And H is so busy with school and working part time, I'm trying to take some of the pressure off of him by doing most of it myself.  

I am focusing on cooking new and fun things, and I'm starting to think about what we are going to do for our honeymoon, so those are fun!

DH and I also have very different schedules so I end up with a lot of alone time. I unfortunately live in a very rural area (about 1/2 hr away from friends and any sort of entertainment or classes) and work very early Mon-Thurs. So my life happens Thursday night through Sunday evening. 

When I lived in a more central location, I joined a women's only gym and took exercise classes that I loved, zumba was my absolute favorite!

I didn't realize there were anniversary boards, oops. Anyways, I also thought I'd have a lot of extra time w/o wedding planning, but that never seems to be the case. DH works in retail, so his schedule can be a little annoying...but it's suppose to slow down in the winter. I don't like when he works all weekend!

 I am trying to get back into running/working out regularly, and possibly picking up some freelance writing work.

 I travel too much to commit to classes, though i want to learn to play golf.

Cooking and finding new recipes online, reading new blogs, decorating our home, and training our new dog

I signed up to run my first 5K in November, so I have been train 4-5 days a week for that.  DH & I have different schedules, I work 7-4 M-F he works 3rd shift on a 5-3 schedule. 

I've been busy de-cluttering & decorating our house too.  Sometimes I feel like that could be a full time job in and of itself!

DH and I are back to decorating the house, only the kitchen/dining and the lounge to do now.

Plus I took a correspondence Event Management course and have now started a Frontline Management course that I already hate, so I might have to give up.

 I am also looking for a new contract job and am intent on tidying all the wedding and other excess stuff in our house up.

Well, since I am planning for 3 different grade levels and basically making a new curriculum at the school I teach at, I do not have a lot of free time.  I'm also coaching swim team 2 nights a week, so I'm extremely busy.  When I get free time, I honestly just like to hang out on the couch with my dog or read.  I used to love scrapbooking and card making, but lately I'm just so tired all the time that I can't get motivated enough to do it anymore.  I would also really like to start working out again; DH and I have actually created a schedule and are really going to try to eat healthier and stay active, so hopefully this happens.

I have literally thrown myself into soccer!  I am at at least 3 practices a day, 5 games a weekend and am refereeing 2 games a week and coaching 2 different teams.  Pretty much eat sleep and breathe soccer!  I love it!!!!!

I am back to the grind at work now (hooray for overtime pay!), and I have also thrown myself back into my poor forgotten crafts with a passion.  i have so many half finished projects that I dropped a year ago when we got engaged and I would love to finish them all.  First up though is a baby blanket - it's a race against the baby.

I will also be writing thank you cards once they come in this week (our wedding was August 28 and I want to have them out before the 2 month mark - took a month to get our pictures from the photographer and another week and a half to process and ship the cards).  I'm obviously getting defensive about this.

I will also be beginning to house hunt soon - so I imagine that will take up a decent chunk of my time at night.  Ooh the fun!
