On Sunday I decided that I was going to start tackling the daunting task of thank you cards for all the gifts Brandon and I received for the wedding and I just hit that half way mark. But I have realized, I will keep getting gifts over the next few months and will have to continue to write thank you notes. So if you have sent a gift and it take me a little while to get them out, sorry, but we are having a blast using everything that we have received.
But, a question for you...why is it that the woman has to do almost everything for these events. Granted, Brandon would have done anything I ask him to, but the woman has to change her name....write the thank yous, organize the gifts and where to keep all of the new found gadgets and such.......oh ya, I guess sit is because we really are the ones in charge no matter what the men think!

I hear ya, just wait you are also in charge of birthday cards, christmas presents and family dinners to name a few, haha.
I think that the woman does everything for those events because she knows she will do it right. Kelly was more than willing to help, but if he wrote the thank yous, they would not be legible. If he organized the gifts and gadgets, then I would be fighting the urge to change it all later. The name thing makes geneology so much easier to track, and everytime you say "I'm Mrs. Boyles!!!" you are even more excited inside than you can explain. Saying I am Mrs. Hendricks still makes me giggle a little. I don't think boys have the same reaction. (plus, as much as i love the name wooten, i could NEVER pronounce it right when I was a kid, I was very excited to give my kids a name that would not put them in the back of the classroom every year).
So yeah, I agree we do it because we are in charge but also because we know how to do things right.
