First big purchase w/ wedding $$$
DH went out and bought us a new laptop today! Just got it up and running and I love it!
Anyone else starting to spend some wedding gift money?
Re: First big purchase w/ wedding $$$
Next week, we are taking a couple of the Lowe's gift cards and FINALLY getting a new garage door opener. Normally, it would not be high on our list, BUT our next door neighbor has the same model that we do now. They were installed at the same time, YEARS ago by the builders.
At least once a day, she opens or closes our garage door. It's ANNOYING and makes us freak out when we aren't home. I just LOVE to pull into the driveway and see the door wide open. Thank goodness for deadbolts on the door into the house.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

We also bought a laptop (mostly for H's use, since I have the desktop)

We bought a really big a$$ TV that's ridiculously clear. I was very so-so about spending wedding money on this TV until he plugged the sucker in. H put Harry Potter 6 in the bluray to convince me it was worth it. Holy mother of pete, it's clear... and totally awesome! I never thought I'd care about the clarity of a television set.
This tv was bought under the stipulation that I could buy living room furniture next month
Gotta love marriage compromise.

We went to BBB and bought up everything else we wanted from our registry. Sleeping in new (really nice) sheets last night was sooo nice. I haven't slept that well in ages.
We're also putting some in our HM fund for shopping!

My Bio Updated 10/6/09 with tons more DIY
229 Invited to the Greatest Wedding Evar
Well, when we got down to our honeymoon, the resort told us that they don't even have the "all-inclusive" package, including all meals, house and domestic drinks, morning yoga on the beach and two 25-minute massages, that expedia had listed for the resort. Needless to say, a good deal of our wedding money went towards food, etc for the honeymoon.
One rather large check is getting put into our house-fund.
The rest will be going to completing our registries!
My Planning Bio
We paid for our plane tickets to LA and back for our honeymoon and 1 excursion that we both really wanted to go on.
There isn't much left after that, but it's been put into savings for now.

PAIF/SAIF welcome!
I'm salivating at the thought of what I'll do... H needs a new laptop asap (he does freelance video editing. He must have an up to date, fast, completely reliable computer and his current laptop is thisclose to taking a shiit) and I.... I want... lots of things.
Will have to sit down and really decide what I want first, but I'm stuck between a few things- starting our kitchen reno (ZOMG I want new cabinets so bad. Old fashioned-looking kitchens rock. 80 year old cabinets SUCK), replacing the carpet upstairs with hardwood (or maybe a laminate? I'm so sure that even with the wedding money we'd be able to afford new hardwood everywhere. Psh), redoing the craft room (new furniture to make my life easier. This one's low on the list though) or getting new living room furniture (also low on the list, not because it's not needed but because I love love love our tired old couch and don't really want to replace it, even though we need to)
