Sur La Table, how I love thee…

Ah… completed. The final place we were going to register at is DONE! I love this place and Rodney got wild with the scanner, so I may have to go online and figure out everyone he added to the registry.
So fun though. Some people haven’t heard of Sur La Table before, it’s a lot like Williams Sonoma, but ten times better I think. It’s fabulous kitchen jazz at its finest. There’s so many fun things about this place I can stay in there for hours! Makes me want to cook and bake something very yummy.

Take a look at the website and tell me what you think? Also we’ve found that the name “Table” part is pronounced “tob”. It’s French, Voila!

Check! Check! CHECK!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

I am just thrilled it’s finally the weekend, and an added bonus: It’s GORGEOUS outside!
Cheers to that!

Last night we got a ton of things accomplished regarding the Wedding planning. {SO EXCITED!}

We finally finished the registry at Macy’s, and can I just say, this by far was so much fun. Macy’s was great! Their customer service was perfect and everything was so easy to figure out what we needed. Love it!

Afterwards Rodney and I popped into Zales and {Woo Hoo!} We found Rodney’s wedding band. I’m so excited for him {ya know, and me too}, he loves the band and it looked so very handsome on him.

And last, but not least, MY SHOES CAME IN!!! Yes the beautiful green satin ballet shoes with the cute flower on top have arrived and they fit perfectly. I’m so beyond words excited. They’re lovely and exactly what I’ve been wanting. How on earth were those things hiding for so long? So glad I found them.

Oh! And another update, we’ve decided not to register at Lowes, why you ask? Because their registry system is way too complicated. You couldn’t register in the store, you had to do it online, which wasn’t easy at all, and then your guests who went there would have a hard time finding what was registered for…too much! too much I say! We want simplicity! So we checked into Home Depot.

It’s so much easier, you can register in the store and everything. They’ve won us over!

So there are completed tasks and whatnots for the day. Ah, love the feeling of accomplishment.

Have a Happy Friday!!!

We’re making progress people!

Woo hoo… the Macy’s Registry has been created (not finished… that place is HUGE!) and in progress.

It’s getting even more exciting everyday, knowing we’re getting tasks completed off our “To-Do List” and one day closer to our Wedding Day!

Weekend Recap

This weekend as pretty much ALL our weekends, are jammed back with STUFF, stuff to do, stuff to attend, just STUFF.

Here’s a few recaps for you with visuals:

Friday was Halloween and boy was it fun!

On Saturday, my normal wholyfit class was canceled, so I called Rod and we ended up going to the Klein Oak High School

(Rod’s old school) field and running up and down this huge hill, whoa! It was a cardio workout! So fun!

Rod and I did get some wedding To-Do’s…

We registered at Target. Rodney enjoyed being in charge of the scanner gun

Sunday we had a family get together party for Ethan’s Birthday. HE IS SO CUTE! I havent uploaded the pictures from all that yet, but he had a lot of fun turning 2 and playing with his new boy toys.

How was your weekend? What did you do? I want to hear it all.
