Good luck 'n Gifts!

We had a great time at the Wedding Expo; While we were there I won a $50 gift certificate to a party rental place for our linens, plus that same place gave us a card for 10% off so the linens are taken care of!

Then we got a call from Bed Bath and Beyond saying we had won something and to come on in to the store to pick it up. I put my name in for so many prizes, I couldn't remember what they had been offering at all, when we went it to claim it it was even more of a surprise because the people working we're pretty stumped but eventually came out with a HUGE box with my name on it! We opened it up in the parking lot; it is a Pyrex mixing bowl set. Sweet!

We also got a call from a photographer saying we had won an album- which on his card says "starting at $1,500" Anyways, due to his rates for the day I'm not sure if we're going to end up going with him as a photographer and redeeming the free album or not, but it sure is neat to win these three things after winning the two tickets in to the Expo.

**Update 9/23, we also won $500 off a DJ entertainment package, again not sure if we'll get to redeem it or not but its cool to win!

In non expo related news, we got our first wedding gift a few weeks ago - it is an amazingly beautiful quilt from my aunt and grandparents. It was really exciting to get our first gift that will last a lifetime, and it is such a stunning quilt!

Our 1st wedding gift! Isn't my Aunt amazing?!

I thought about registering for this set of Pyrex bowls when we registered there, now the store just gave it to us! So awesome!
