The Registry

So we've signed up for a few wedding registries, but we haven't really filled it up with stuff yet. It's kind of interesting doing shopping in this manner. Normally, when I buy stuff, I kind of like to find a good deal. I hate paying full price for anything, and I think I've already stated this in a previous blog. Hahahaha. So it's kind of interesting that I am basing my decisions mostly on the quality and likability of the product, and then figuring if it is really worth the price is at retail since I don't know if it will be on sale or something when it actually gets purchased. It's a different mentality, and I am still getting used to it. Paul's been pretty helpful giving input here and there. I might have to assign him reviews to go through so that I don't have to read them all myself.

I was encountering the problem that not all the brands and products I wanted/could find were in the same store. I didn't want to do sign up for more than 3 registries because that's really way too much. BUT luckily I did find out that there was a place where I could find a lot of the stuff online and shipping was free on purchases over $25 or more and had some better prices than some of the other places I signed up for. So I can at least do that for the people who have access to the internet. I figure the people who do not have internet will find inspiration somewhere. We aren't going to choose most of the house stuff yet because I want us to get a feel for the new house and what colors and styles we want for each room. This is our chance to finally have some creative input on the look and feel of our new home. In all the apartments I've lived in, I only could put up a few posters and paintings. I've always wanted to paint a room or two and buy coordinated curtains and such. I am really looking forward to it. I know it's going to be a lot of work, but at least it'll be how we want it instead of white walls and living out of boxes thinking that it'll only be temporary. We're planning to live here for quite a while. I can't wait to make it completely ours. Just a few more weeks to go to get the keys, and hopefully everything else will fall into place.
