So last night I got my package from my Autumn Swap partner from the swap that Running Just as Fast as I can hosted.
In it, was a wedding album, some treats for the pup and best of all, she did her research and got us our first registry gift 
The swap package – the Utensils are next to the Treats
Treats that puppy loved – Thank you so much Cat’s Pajamas!!!
Anyhow…so our first registry gift – a near identical of these that i registered for at Crate and Barrel…
Which by the way, is just…awesome.
Our registries have been a work in progress (and the subject of many discussions – especially from Fiancé’s mother who “can’t believe” that we’d register for this…
Now let me explain before y’all go passing judgment like she did (bless her heart). Fiancé and I set up our Macy’s registry on a Sunday afternoon, we didn’t have much time before we wanted to get back to the hill to go to 5pm mass, so we walked around, scanned some stuff we thought would be fun, some stuff we knew we wanted, looked at other stuff and decided we still had some research to do because really that scanner was a lot of fun so we just…scanned a bunch of stuff. Thus why this beast shows up on the registry.
But fiancé wanted to register for it. His mother thinks it makes us look greedy that we’re asking for that and not say…pots and pans and dinnerware and silverware. But as I’ve told her, it’s a work in progress. If we had some time to commit to going to register, we would. Unfortunately, as of late, we haven’t. But man oh man, I can’t wait till we do. Besides, no one besides my mother, and his mother and siblings and father know about it and have even looked. I’m sure once we research everything and finish the registering process, it’ll be fine. From what I’ve heard from all my newlywed friends, you take things off, you add things, you change your mind. And from what I’ve read in wedding magazines and books, you’re SUPPOSED to have some high ticket items, and some low ticket and some medium ticket. There’s nothing wrong with it being a wish list. You want your guests to have variety no? I mean a couple of my friends lacked on the variety, by the time i went to buy them a gift there was nothing but towels, shoe racks, and bathroom stuff on there. And while I understand that stuff is important too, it looks kind of cheesy as a gift no? I’d rather get them something better, nicer, but my fault for slacking. Oh well? So the point is, everything I’ve read says to have enough stuff on there to give your guests variety and have a number of different price points. So okay…we will.
So thats my wedding wednesday post, i’ve been slacking recently since I STILL haven’t done much – though this month my mission is to find an AFFORDABLE (but still classy) photographer and a nice florist for suggestions, and find a dj though i do have a couple leads. Oh yeah, and get my dress when my mother is down visiting 
gah, can’t wait. Need to make appointments soon, need to do a bit more research, and we have another bridal show to go to this weekend. Woo!
ALSO!
So I got this phone call the other day from a company who claimed within the first two minutes that i had entered a contest and won a FREE! 3 day 2 night stay at an all inclusive resort! All i had to do was go see one of their demonstrations. Which really isn’t a big deal since we had no plans, it doesn’t cost us anything so whatever. Fiancé is still a little weirded out but since we BOTH have to be there to get the prize, he’s getting dragged.
Finally…, I’m cranky, sad, frustrated, and pissed off. It’s not been a great day, nothing has happened yet but there’s rumors that i could be given a project that i would be…incredibly uncomfortable with, and is not in my paygrade (think…calling parents on a committee for my boss’s granddaughter’s school) so i’m a little disgruntled, i feel like wedding stuff is falling apart (wait there’s nothing TO fall apart because i haven’t DONE anything yet), my house is falling apart (our dishwasher leaks, our sink smells, and our garbage disposal is backed up and fiancé doesn’t want to have the shitty fix it dude come to fix it because last time he yelled at him for some destruction ellie has caused around the house…whoops?), and i’m just…beyond frustrated. Looking forward to our little get away to Old Town this weekend but unfortunately it can’t come soon enough. *sigh*
Happy wedding wednesday ya’ll! They’re back. I’ll try to keep the wedding stuff churning
