Setting Up Our Registries!

I've always seen people in movies take those fun gun scanners and run around the store scanning everything under the sun. Unfortunately, the gun is just a movie thing, because both places we went had a square hand held scanner. The worse part is that you're not able to spin those scanners like a gun around your finger. But I digress.

The first place Kristen and I went to register for presents was good old Bed, Bath and Beyond. BB&B is an essential to most wedding registries. Kristen and I already have a lot of random stuff for laying around the apartment, so we really thought there wouldn't be too much that we needed. Well going into the store, I soon realized we wanted everything in the place. We went to the front, got set up with our non-gun scanner and headed onto the floor.

I'm clearly filled with a frenzy of excitement here.....

who knew pots and pans were so fun!

Not wasting any time, Kristen immediately ran to one of the most important things she could find....

A dinosaur cake mold. or jello mold if you want to get real frisky

 After we tore our way through Bed Bath, it was off to Macy's.  We were basically going to fill the gaps and also see if there were better versions of things from Bed Bath that we could switch out.  We didn't spend quite as much time in Macy's, but we did end up registering for more than I thought we would.  We liked some of their kitchen items more and decided to swap them out. 

This was definitely one of the fun highlights for us.  I don't think we'll ever just walk into stores like that and buy that many house related items at once.  Unless I hit the lottery;  which I estimate will happen within the next 3-4 years.

Buying this stuff also started to give us a little bit of house fever. Knowing we're going to have all these home goods, the urge to get a bigger place is starting to increase. 

Lastly, in addition to the 2 store registries, we put together an online Honeymoon registry through Sandals. We debated between having the honeymoon as our main registry, or deciding on china, but in the end thought the honeymoon was more fitting for us. With the honeymoon registry, we're looking forward to a great trip, excursions, and unforgetable memories. Stay tuned to hear all about the honeymoon in the next post, and here are the links to get to all three:
