Registry Started...

Thom and I had a good time at the "Sip and Scan" event at Macy's this week. We had dinner at their Bistro, home of the famous Maurice salad. While we ate, we went over the check list Macy's gave us at the event check in. I brought a check list we created too. We kind of had an idea of what we wanted to register for at Macy's but we really were not prepared for this event.

We did manage to register for the one main thing I had been researching, cookware! But that is about all we got done. The product rep for the cookware was this cute old lady. She was so excited to hear that I would be doing the cooking, she told us that in all of the other couples she had talked to that night the man was cooking. Thom jumped in to explain his contribution was doing the dishes, and that really made her day. She nudged me and said, "Hold on to him forever." - Oh Thom, always the ladies man :)

Throughout the event there was a waitress walking around with food, drinks, and desserts. It was quite nice, and the waitress was pretty funny. The desserts were yummy and the drinks were tasty too.

After the cookware we hit a road block at the china. We blame ignorance and lack of preparation for just flat out being stumped on the china. We talked to a few sales reps and got an idea of what we were looking for, and even called Christie (Thom's Sister) to ask her some questions. I have been looking at the china on-line, and plan to make an appointment at Macy's soon to hopefully finish registering there.

Our registry is not visible on-line or in the stores yet. We hope to finish registering for everything at Macy's and the others stores by the end of June.
