We went registering!

After a delightful breakfast of homemade omelettes and toast with the Tylers, Brent and I set out last Saturday to Bed Bath&Beyond and Target with the goal of completing the task of registering for the things we want and need. We started with Bed Bath&Beyond. It surprised us how much time and energy registering took. Halfway through the first store I was tempted to give up...not because they didn't have the things we wanted or needed or anything, it was just that thinking so hard about the things we would need, what type of things we would need, what color of things we would want, the pattern of things we would want, etc., all of that was exhausting! Brent encouraged me to push through the tiredness, and we left Bed Bath&Beyond confidant that we had done our best with that store and ready for more food. By that time it was almost four o'clock, so before moving on to Target we stopped at Claim Jumper for a refresher. It didn't take long to realize that we were both getting or were already slap-happy. Things were making us laugh and giggle that shouldn't have made us laugh and giggle. It was fun.:)

BTW, has anyone ever tried Claim Jumper's soft pretzel with nacho cheese sauce? OH, so good.

On our way to Target we made a stop at David's Bridal to pick up the bridesmaid dresses that were declared to me "available for pick up." Seeing them in person made me so super excited...made everything feel that much more real (haha, as if registering for the things Brent and I will one day share didn't make things feel real!).

Target was a lot easier than Bed Bath&Beyond, partly because the scanner thingie simply works way better at Target and partly because by the time we made it over there we were so tired that we didn't put much thinking into the things we scanned. We just pointed and shot. I came away very thrilled about the dishes, glasses and especially serving dishes and untensils we found, oh, and the frames too.

We spent Sunday resting from registering and everything else, but on Monday we got together and fixed our registries up online, deleting the things we got doubles of, finding items we liked even better than the ones we had originally chosen, adding things we had forgotten, and things like that. We ended up wondering why in the world we didn't just start online in the first place...it was SOOOOO much easier. We found the most adorable place mats and a table runner online, I think they would look so cute on the little white wood table Brent's parents are generously giving us!

Ever since then we've been updating it every once in a while, adding new things and such...I don't think the updating is going to come to a halt before the wedding. :)

Cutest Little Girl


Hunter and I were quite flabbergasted at how cute she looked last Sunday morning in her pink fur jacket.

Funny Conversation

Me, singing in the bathroom as I put my make-up on while Hunter waits to take a shower: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...please don't take my sunshine away."

Hunter: "No, your melody was wrong. It's 'Please don't take my sunshine away.'"

Me: "What did I do?"

Hunter: "You did, 'Please don't take my sunshine away.'"

Me, in a joking, slightly disgusted voice: "You think you're this music mugu because you're..."

Hunter, stopping me mid-sentence: "Yes. I am a music mugu."

Hunter, in a muppet-ie voice as he shakes his floppy wake-up hair into the mirror: "Hehehehehe!!!!"

Me: "I meant guru."

Hunter, in a joking, more disgusted voice: "No, of COURSE I'm not a guru.
