Happy Monday friends!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I definitely did...good but busy. On Friday night Jason and I had our date night and went to Klondike's for pizza. It was a splurge. We have been doing cheap, low key things for our date night since we became engaged to save money (i.e. Costco for dinner!). We pulled into the Costco parking lot to get our slice of pizza and Jason said, "Let's go to AG and get Klondikes!" Yay! I'm the one that usually tries to "cheat" on my budgeting so it was kind of fun to have Jason be the one to suggest it! hehe! So, we ate pizza, played pin-ball and pac-man, and also saw Julie N. She was having a going away party there because she left for Australia on Sunday. She's going to try to live there permanently! Very cool.
On Saturday morning I met Jason at his house. We went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to register. We got there at 9:30am and left at 1:15pm. Wow, that was tiring. It was also a little annoying at times. We were asked if we needed help about 10 times...literally. When we were looking at pots and pans I could kind of understand it. I guess there are things about those worth explaining. But, when we're looking at dish towels...give me a break people. After the 5th person I think that we were getting pretty annoyed. Also, what is up with the pressure to register for china? I don't even know how many workers there pressured us into getting china. We really don't need china. China is nice...it's pretty...but it's not needed. I'm not a fan of having things packed away that you pull out once a year or so. Anyways, by the time we use it...10 years down the road...our taste will probably be different and we won't even like it all that much. Funny stuff! We finished the registry though. When we printed up the list at the end the guy said, "Oh, you only registered for 104 things...you'll want to come back." Um, no thanks. We're good! We didn't tell him we were registering other places too! ;-)
Jason described the process well. First it was weird. (How often are you given a scanner to walk around scanning things for you future home together?) Then it was fun. (We got into the groove of it and really had fun with some products). Then it was tiring. (Not sure if we actually wanted some of the things at the end. I'm sure we'll get one of them as a gift and say, "Why did we scan THAT?" haha. Oh well.) A few things that we almost put on the registry as a joke were, an ash tray, a fuzzy leopard comforter, a potato brush that had a creepy potato with a face as the handle, and a plastic hippo pot holder. We weren't sure if other people would think it was funny though. Soooo...that's the B,B,& B story!
The rest of the weekend was great. Time with the Jeffreys, Fall Kick-Off...it was very nice. Crazy how the town feels like it's bustling again. Cal Poly is definitely back in session. This is the first fall I haven't gone back too. That's weird. :-)

Funny. I got stressed out when we went registering there. But then we ended up having fun and just putting a bunch of stuff on the registry. You should definately go back and register for an expensive shower head. We LOVE ours - it was like $80!!
I'm going to have to agree with Jenny on that one, we are in LOVE with ours too...also if you decided you don't want something you can take it back and they give you cash :). I can't believe you got Jason to go with you. Kevin wouldn't step foot in there, so he registered for himself at Sears ;). I want to know what dress you got, but I'm too lazy to go through 10 pages....that's a lot. Glad you had a good weekend and hmmmmm to Klondikes. :)
They give you cash??? I thought that they only give you store credit!!! Wow! That's amazing. We were worried that we would end up with all this store credit and not know what in the world to buy. Are you sure?
So yes...we will look for a good shower head. Random. I guess it's the small things in life eh? So what one did you guys get??? We have no idea how to shop for something like that!
yeah, they don't tell you that, but they will give you cash when you return your extra/unwanted gifts. You can get store credit too. Kyle and I did, but that's cause there was a bunch of stuff we still needed. It was a super tiring day for us too when we went, we were both pretty cranky with each other by the time we left... Seriously, register for the expensive things, things that would be really nice to have, but you would never buy for yourself. Somebody is bound to buy it for you, and if they don't... well, that's okay too.
I agree with Carrie. Yes, they give you cash-ola! Trav and I had to return most of our stuff since we were moving to MS. So then we had the money put on gift cards. We ended up going back to the one in MS and buying all that we needed. And we still had $1000 left over... so we bought our mattress with the cash that we got from them. Cool, eh?
