Musings on Life and Living

Ok so this morning after our wonderful IHOP breakfast Alex and I finally finished our gift registry! Well, almost. We still need to take care of a few things online, but otherwise we're done. So let the fun begin! Everyone can now go to Target, Wal-mart or Bed Bath and Beyond and begin searching, or, in the case of my best friend, gape at our inability to match our silverware with our dishware. Little did she realize that the maroon dishware set that we picked at Target totally just made my jaw drop and make me drool, which is really hard to do since I'm not a big fan of nice, fancy, flowery dishes. But I saw these and fell in love <3. And seriously, this would totally be a set of dishes I would love to have even down to the tea pot! We actually already have very nice silver utensils so it wasn't necessary to go searching for more fancy shiny objects, so instead we shopped for a set of very modern designed silverware that would go well with our everyday dishes and won

So, Gretch and I have started our gift registries. We decided to start at Wal-Mart, for no other reason than we happened to be nearby Wal-Mart one day and we decided to head over and start the registry fun. We spent about an hour or so in the housewares department, and registered for 153 items. Then I had to go to work, so we had to call it quits for the day. Later, Gretch suggested we finish registering on Monday before FHE. So we went, and we registered for the rest of the housewares we wanted, and then we went into home furnishings and a few other random departments, such as hardware (for a plunger), and household cleaners (for a broom and a mop). We are now registered for a total of 350 items. Of course, a lot of these things are duplicates, just because we haven't actually decided on colour schemes and designs. Nor do we know which vacuum we'd actually like, so of course we've registered for six or seven. Next week we are going to start registering at Target, I think.

You have a dirty mind. These are peeps, edible sugary marshmallow goodness that are on show! Our FHE activity was not only a creative idea thought up by Tiffany Carter, but a scrumptious one too! Alex and I teamed together to make a wedding reception which Alex insisted that we make it a mormon reception hense the basketball hoop in the second picture.
