Let me start out by saying, this was one of the most exciting, yet exhausting days EVER... Caleb was so excited, when we got to Target he totally went insane. Typing everything on the little kiosk, printing the papers, etc. I just sat back and watched as he told me "don't worry, you can take control at Bed Bath and Beyond...".
It honestly was so fun, but after about half an hour, our first scanner died... so we returned it to guest services and they gave us a new one "fully charged", which ALSO died shortly after. Here we are... a short hour and something later and we were in the towel section and couldn't make up our minds on colors... and I think I recall saying "I don't even CARE what color! Just scan like 7 of them!!" He shot me a look. We were so done at Target. We decided we needed to refuel and that going to Skyline to treat ourselves sounded MUCH more appealing than doing a second registry in one day at BB&B.
It seriously was so much fun though. I mean it was so surreal. We were picking out OVEN MITTS and SPATULAS that will be in our FUTURE place!! Its such an exciting thing, and I wanted to enjoy it, and without food in our stomachs, that just wasn't possible. Needless to say, we didn't finish our Target registry this weekend... but don't fear ;) we will return.
Its really hitting me this week that I. AM. GETTING. MARRIED. Whaaaat?! I was talking with my MOH on the phone the other day and she was asking about all the details and its really beginning to hit me how much my life will change in the next few months. I will never again sleep at my families house, in the same bed... I will soon have my OWN family of 2, and I will have to prepare my own dinner every night, unless my husband will be super awesome every now and then? ;) and lets get real... he is. I am so excited for all of these changes, but I can't help but wonder how different things will be. How did some of you ladies adjust to married life right away?! Any tips, or am I just gonna have to dive in for myself and see!? ;)
So. Exciting! I am sure you will adjust to married life just fine! I think you just need to jump in and enjoy every second of it. Did you ever think you would be so excited about oven mitts and spatulas?!? I bet the 10 year old version of yourself would think that is just craziness! Haha! Glad you had a great time registering!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment. I always feel like my mouth is too big for lipstick, but I do it anyway. You know just to be obnoxious. Congrats on your wedding! And you could totally pull off lipstick. trust me
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! These few months of wedding planning will fly by so quickly that before you know it, it will be your big day and you're already saying your I do's. Congrats sweetie and have fun with all the registry! =)
ReplyDeletethat is so exciting kayla! i bet it can be tiring though. it'll be fun though opening up your gifts later! congrats on your upcoming wedding.
ReplyDeleteahhh that's so exciting that it's a week away! I always loved winter weddings- they're so cozy and festive. and your registry adventures were so funny- especially how caleb was taking over and quoting martha stewart of all people haha. you two sound adorable :)
ReplyDeleteso exciting!! I loved registering for things - it was so fun! and fun to picture using them and what life would be together. It definitely was an adjustment but I loved it! I think that just communicating about everything is the best advice I have!
ReplyDeleteYou two are just adorable! I think I'd be like you...fun for about an hour then in need of a break! Such an exciting journey you two are on!

Ha, this was the one thing that the mister actually liked about the whole wedding process. He loved shotting everything. I later had to go back and delete over half of what he did. ha

looks like y'all had fun (even though it may have been tiring!) love the pics! and 6 months in advance is perfectly fine!
ReplyDeleteyou guys are so cute. there is nothing wrong with starting your registry 6 months early! i think we started at around that time too haha :) so excited for your wedding day!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Zach and I decided that we are going to do our registries at Target and Bad, Bath, & Beyond also. I can't wait for that part of the planning, but it won't be for about a year.
ReplyDeleteRegistering is such an exciting big step, no matter how frustrating it may be! I'll shamelessly admit, Glenn and I registered 9 months in advance, so y'all are fiiiiiine. So glad it was successful! :) One registry coordinator told us, "Remember, register for the life you WANT, not the life you currently HAVE." It was excellent advice, as I'm now the proud owner of an amazing Dyson vacuum that I never would've bought myself! Haha
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of you with the scanners! hahaha. I got mad at McKay when we were registering at Target because he was rushing me so he could go home and play soccer! lol. You are going to be the cutest wife. You will have lots and lots of fun. Don't be worried about anything! You will be living with your best friend and things will go smoother than you think! Just learn how to drop things and move on...that was our biggest lesson...because we both talk and talk and TALK. But that might not even be an issue for you two!
ReplyDeleteThis just made me super excited for registering.
ReplyDeleteOven mitts and spatulas. :)
Love the scanner pics!
Sounds like you two had a blast! Love it :) When's the big day!?
