Registering for wedding gifts...

Registered for gifts last weekend... Fun, but tiring as all hell, man! It took over three hours just to go through Macy's Home Store at South Coast Plaza, and we still didn't get everything! (But damn, those scanners are fun!)
First we were debating on where to register. I mean, since we've both lived on our own, we have pretty much everything. We still want to register for the new cookware, new bed stuff, your typical fine china, blah blah blah... but really, we don't need much more around the house. So, what do we register for? We were stoked when we found out that you can register at Lowes! We have plans to fix up the ole condo after the wedding... new floors, new paint, new tile in the bathroom, new bath tub, all of that fun stuff! But is that tacky? To register for hard wood floors, paint, bathroom stuff, etc? We even started to debate over registering for the honeymoon, since apparently, that's the thing to do these days. Right?

So... of course, we settled (for now), on the ever popular Macy's, Crate & Barrel, and Target... we've registered for a little here and there at each store. We are still debating on Lowes... what do you guys think?

As far as the rest of the planning... we are doing pretty good! We picked out the bridesmaids dresses a couple of weeks ago. And might I say, MY bridesmaids are going to be undeniably HOT! I know all brides say that about their girls, but no, sorry. Mine take the cake. The dress they picked is INSANE and just brings out the SEXXAY-NESS. Again, DAMN STOKED to have those ladies by my side! I wish I could have a few more to stand by me, and you know who you are, but it would look hilarious with EIGHT girls on one side, to four boys... or would it? =) Also, since the photographer and florist, we have booked the acoustical guitarist (to play while guests walk in, during the ceremony and cocktail hour), the DJ (YEAH DJ KINGSLEY!!!!!), and the baker for the wedding cake. It's all coming together, yet I still find sh*t to stress about. How about that?

Next, the rehearsal dinner, the tuxedos, THE HONEYMOON, and the invitations (place cards, too). Oh yeah, and the officiant... Cory has been the bestest fiance EVER and taken on that task! Have we forgotten anything?

Thanks to all of you who continue to send us your congrats and well wishes! We are both so excited to share this day with you... of course, for our family & friends here in sunny/never-ending-summer/fall-and-winter-will-never-get-here Southern California, but especially those coming from far away!

Before I go, just a quick CONGRATS again to my cousin BJ and my new cousin-in-law Davis! Their wedding was absolutely wonderful, and BJ looked breath taking!

Miss you Jax!

Our lil one is leaving the nest...

She's leaving us to party it up in north county and become a big girl. I'm sad, but happy for my babygirl, Jax, to live in her first bomb a** apt. Now we have somewhere to crash when we party up there!

But anyhoo, give it up to our lil one... Girl, we still need to do a good-bye/housewarming BBQ!

MUAH!
