Domestic Merger

Part of getting married is combining all your stuff. This has taken Joy and me a while to do. We will have two apartments until the end of August, and a lot of our stuff that used to be “Joy stuff” is still in Gainesville with her until she finishes school (two more weeks until graduation!) In addition to the stuff there is all the finances, bank accounts, credit card accounts, car titles, name changes, getting new IDs, etc etc.

Joy and I took care of a lot of that in the first few weeks of our marriage. She got her name changed on almost everything. I now have credit card for her account and she has photo ID debit card for my bank account. We both have both of our names on the titles to our cars. Joy is also on my medical insurance through UPS as my wife, and we are now both using my auto insurance company. Things are coming together.

We still need to put both of our names on our brokerage accounts (I just got the forms for that Tuesday,) and Joy would like to get a new passport with her new name on it. After those last few things we should be done with this little domestic merger. I am thinking about all of this because we are so close to being done, and because I am working this morning on getting all of our information into Quicken while Joy rests up for our big day of shopping. She’s really stressed out, because she is taking her toughest class yet (Organic Chemistry II) and she has job interviews all next week. So, we’re going to get new outfits for her to look and feel great in for those interviews. Well, just as soon as she wakes up! Hmmm… maybe I should make her pancakes.
