these and those


BIG NEWS!!!!

we've begun our registries.

the first one we got started is at Macy's, and that very evening we left the store with SIX items on our list. Woohoo. four towels, and two different serving dishes.
THEN the next day, we were informed that those towels we've chosen are discontinued items.

wah.

our second go was at Crate and Barrel. we spent approximately 2 hours there, and came out with TWELVE items (well 19 if you want to count the glasses per).

a week or so later, we returned to Macy's and now have successfully registered for about 20 or so things.

creating registries, we've been told by many, is supposed to be a super fun part of the planning. we had a good time, sure; but, we really had a tough time finding things we NEED or would like to accumulate.

we are still planning on heading back to Crate and Barrel sometime.

but for now, there's Macy's, Crate and Barrel, and Simplicity Gourmet (cookware that we've chosen to go with -
