Registry List

Ok folks I realize it's early but after hearing from family and friends how much fun it is to register we just couldn't wait any longer. The two of us sat down and made a list of items we knew the two of us would need after we got married. We kept telling each other stick to the list, let's not get crazy, stick to the list. Then it happened we heard the BEEP! It was over, the scanner went crazy. There was no stopping us now.

The first item we scanned was a smoke detector, then it was a co2 detector. Soon we were scanning items like chip warmers and choclote fountains. Now who's to say we will never use these items. we might. The list kept getting larger and we kept registring at more and more places. The two of us wanted to keep the list as small as possible in hopes we will recieve cash gift as well to start saving for a house but neither one of us could get the beep out of our heads. After registering at Target, we then registered at Younkers, Isabel Bloom, Menards and last but not least JCPennys.

Please keep in mind everyone when you visit these stores on line, both of us know there is no way we will recieve a snow blower or any items for that matter that are over $100.00 it's all about having fun and dreams. Starting a new life care about material things, they're just nice to have. However, both of us just want to celebrate our new life together with friends and family we love in hopes they are as happy as we are about starting our starting our new life together. We love you all.

Below is the reminder list of places mentioned above that the two of us have registered. A quick note, those of you who decide to purchase from Isabel bloom will need to contact the store to see what has been purchased. This store hasn't quite modernized there wedding registery.

Wedding Registry From A Man's View

Hello again all, Christi and I have spent this Holiday Weekend working on our Wedding Registry! Now I can't give out any names of places yet we want to compile a complete list and let you all know when we are done.

From my point of view, being a guy I thought we could just walk into a certain store and go to town registering. Little did I know that to do a complete registry a couple must scope out the store first before doing the deed. We walked around Jordan Creek Mall doing this Saturday Night.

Now I don't want to scare any guys out there, however, when it comes to registring, trust the woman on this. She knows what she is doing. It is a fun experience for the both of you once you actually get to use the scanner to go around the store and scan items to add to your registry. I recomend that you keep a very open mind when doing this. Scan things you know the both of you need and then have some fun and scan items that you know you won't get but that would just be cool to have!

It is fun and a good experience for the both the Bride-to-be and the Groom-to-be!!!

Look for pictures coming soon.

Talk to you all later...

Our First Road Trip

The month of May was our first road trip. It was to Williamsburg to get a puppy I found from a breeder on KnappCreek.com. The prevoius owner could no longer take care of her.

I hadn't told Josh I was getting a second puppy until two weeks prior to my scheduled road trip. When I got up the courage to ask him to go on the trip with me he said yes. When the day came to leave to get the puppy, we drove in a fury to get to Williamsburg. Once there, we shopped till we dropped. Josh found a cute diaper bag for his sister who was expecting in November. I found some awsome drinking glasses.

When 1:00 came we went to meet my puppy's owner at McDonald's. The day was over and now we had to head home. It was a hot trip and Kiara needed water so we had to pull over to get her cooled off and calmed down. We were at the rest stop for over thirty minutes. It was a rocky start. Once we got home safe and sound she calmed down. Now she is happy and content.

We are in the process of planning another road trip soon. Josh and I will share the event when it happens. Till then Tah Tah Ya all!!!

How It All Began

I'm sure all of you are on the edge of your seats wanting to know how it all began. How did Josh and Christi meet? Why let me tell you how it all started.

It began on a Sunday April 23, 2006 to be exact. I went to my sister, mom, & aunt's dance recital. There were three recitals that day. At the second recital is when I met Christine. Our first date was April 29th and we met at a local coffee shop in Urbandale. The date lasted a couple of hours. The next date we went on was to a classy joint called Sam & Gabes. After dinner we went to a movie called Friends with money. The food was great the movie was a chick flick.

When the third date rolled around Christi was intorduced to my brother Jed and his girlfriend Cara. It was a Gilmore Tuesday night and Christi brought brownies. It was a very nervous night for Christi. I won't bore you with to many details. By August 23rd I proposed to Christi at Kiwana Park in the gazebo on one knee.

The next thirteen months after the proposal We have alot of planning to do. We plan on sharing alot of ideas with all of you. However; we want our wedding ideas to be a surprise for our friends & family. Stay tuned for more postings soon.
