So the past week Shell has been putting together our apartment with all the neat gifts she received at her shower. We got a heck of a lot of kitchen stuff. We got an awesome panini maker/griddle/waffle iron contraption that I am excited to use. Shell got a food processor so she can start making some great new incredible edibles. We also got a new pot set, which may not sound too exciting, but we definitely needed it since the old pot we had was loose, and the handle was on the verge of falling off. The most exciting thing we got was a set of four beer mugs, which Im looking forward to using for some frosty brewskis.

We also got a bunch of stuff to redecorate the bathroom. Initially I thought it was lame and didn’t really care about getting all these new towels, shower curtains, and other matching toiletry stuff. But the day Shell finished putting it all up and I walked in, I was pretty impressed with how awesome it looked.
We also got some bed stuff. We got new throw pillows, so I was forced to retire my giant Rangers pillow, which was sad. Loki was pleased to find that we also got a bed skirt, so he can hide right under the bed, and then strike out suddenly from under the skirt. That’s getting pretty annoying.

We also got a couple of gift cards to Bed Bath and Beyond, which is where our registry was. This weekend we are going to go back there and get some stuff that we didn’t receive from the registry, which actually isn’t much. We got most of the big-ticket items we wanted (food processor, comforter and sheets, luggage), so for the wedding we are going to set up a registry with Walt Disney World so that people can help us out for our honeymoon.

So yeah, it was pretty awesome. We got so much stuff we needed for our apartment, and got even more stuff that we are putting away until we get a house just because we don’t have enough room for it now. The only thing we didn’t get that I want is a deep fryer. Shell doesn’t want one, but I told Steve that one of his best man duties is to snag me one as a wedding gift.
