I Created a Website!

I'm so excited about our wedding website. I had fun putting it together and hope to use it as a good place to post information. As more things are scheduled, I'll update it. There's a link to the right!

Registries

I think I've finally finished my wedding registries. We decided to go with Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Belk. I've heard bad things about Target's return policies, but Targets are everywhere. So, how can we not register there? I just didn't add many things to the list.

It was important for me to make sure I had a wide range of prices. When I would attend weddings while still in college, I would get frustrated with expensive registries. How could I buy a $100 knife set? I understand now that sometimes a couple can't help it. Some things just cost that much!

I also didn't want to be presumptuous and think that my guests want to buy me expensive things. I'm also a pretty thrifty shopper. (TJMaxx is the best!) So, it was a little frustrating! I don't want anyone to think I expect to receive everything on my registry. I also have the uncanny ability to zone in on the most expensive item in a group. Jealous? Well, you shouldn't be!

One positive is that I can add to my resume the new talent of using those scanner guns. I'm a pro now! I also got asked several times if I worked in the store. I always responded politely that I didn't, because that was how I was raised. But, I really wanted to be a smart alec. Um, yeah, I look like an employee with a purse on my shoulder, wearing jeans, and no name tag. People can be so clueless!

Yes George and Gracie, There is a Santa Claus

George and Gracie made the "nice" list this year.


Enjoying Aunt Al and Uncle Drew's gift


Gracie using their new catnip mat from their future daddy

I don't have a picture, but the biggest hit is their new laser mouse toy. It's basically a laser pointer in the shape of a mouse. We got two this year -- one from Uncle Dean and Aunt Alissa and another one from their future grandparents. It's called a Loco Laser, and they really go crazy for it! I highly recommend it for any cat parents!

Christmas in Houston

I went to Houston over Christmas to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and two nephews. The whole family was there, and we had a great time. Grant and Drew are the cutest kids ever!!

I had fun playing with Grant. He loves trains and playing on his train table. At 2 years old, he doesn't completely understand Christmas and Santa Claus, but he still enjoyed the presents.

Drew is now 3 months old! He is very vocal and making lots of sounds. He is getting so big!
