Registering!!

Since Andrew is in Oregon, I have been left to do all the registering myself. My mom helped me register at Target and let me just say that after about an hour and a half, I was done!! It is very overwhelming...to say the least!! It was fun to think that in about two months I would be sharing all this new stuff with my husband. I had no idea there was so much stuff you needed to start a home. We decided to get all the kitchen utensils and plates and things like that at Target and register for all the linen stuff at Bed, Bath and Beyond. So yesterday I headed to BBB to register. First of all, when you walk into that place and look to your left you see three whole section, floor to ceiling of bath towels of every color you could imagine. (Talk about intimidating!) When I went up to put our names in the computer the guy working there gave me some advice about how much stuff to register for. He told me that generally you register for two times the number of guest you are having. We are aiming for 200-250 as the number of guest. Not that I am good at numbers or anything but if I followed his rule then I would have to register for over 400 items!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! (again the feeling of overwhelming-ness). So I set off and just started scanning the important things. I think I registered for 75-80 items at Target and when I was finished at BBB I think I had about 70 items...so let me crunch some numbers...yup...I still need to register for 250 items!! Who even needs that much stuff? After talking with Andrew, I have looked over the "suggestion list" from BBB and have found a few more items to register for. So if you got to BBB and see some funky items, now you'll know why. The hard part for me is that if I don't think I am going to use it, why buy it? The other thing too, I have no idea where we are going to live up there. Aghh...so now I guess I am just going to go back in there and go for it! So as you can see, registering has been quite the adventure for me!
