Registry done...ummm, make that a work in progress.

Our focus list created by Katherine.

My future hubs and I registered this week.  This was quite an experience.  I thought it would be sunshine and daisies (I mean we are picking out gifts for people to buy us, what's not to love?!).  While it was fun, it was also kind of stressful.  Enter Katherine, our self-appointed, pseudo-wedding planner, AKA elementary art teacher, organizer, and planner extraordinaire.  We asked her to come with us to be the voice of reason, as C and I are both SUPER opinionated, stubborn, and ALWAYS right.  She happily obliged.  
At this point, you probably need to be reminded, AGAIN, that C and I have been together a decade, and we have been living in cohabitation for at least 6 of those 10 years.  That being said, we have a lot of stuff; enter our difference of opinions.  C thinks that the stuff we have is completely acceptable; never mind that it is our parents hammy-downs from the 80s and 90s, thus leaving our house littered with college furniture and other non-adult decor.  While we are completely appreciative of what we have been given, it is time to retire our antiques (And I don't mean cool, shabby chic antiques, I mean old stuff that no one else wants.) and get some new stuff.
Knowing that there could be some potential disagreements C and I made a plan of attack; our pro bono  wedding planner feverishly typed, at the rate of a courtroom stenographer, as C and I barked out our wish list for the registry.  Nine a.m. the next morning we were on our way to Tyson's, with potential winter weather on our heels.
It should ALSO be noted that due to our guest list being over 300 people, it was completely necessary to register at least three different places..  C and I settled on Macy*s (This is our high-end store, not really but I suppose it can be sort of pricey.), Crate and Barrel (Our middle of the road store, also where we found our everyday dinnerware, as we are NOT registering for china, because we BOTH deem it unnecessary, I know, GASP.), and Bed, Bath, and Beyond (Which we deemed the most affordable of the three.).  Feel free to click the links and go right to our registries, and don't be shy, if you think we forgot some essential items, leave me a comment, after all this is our first time registering for a wedding, first and ONLY time, just to be clear.

On a completely separate note, I left the 270s, AGAIN.  Today was weigh-in day and I was down to 269.8.  Only 69.8 more pounds to go.  I have set up a short term goal, my first bridal shower (This sounds excessive I know, but again with such a large guest list, it was necessary, and one is in PA and one is in VA.) is March 26th, it is my goal to be in the 250s, which is completely realistic, if I could squeak into the 240s, I would be ecstatic, in addition, it would melt my parents little hearts to see me walk in the door at that weight, given it has been YEARS since those numbers were on the scale.  I guess our registry isn't my only work in progress.
Registering and works in progress.
XO.
