About Me: I moved around a lot growing up, but consider myself a Southerner at heart. I love scrapbooking, dancing, doggies, and diet coke. I am all about personalizing everything and hence, I'm a DIY bride who is just loving the entire wedding planning process! Mr. Daffodil and I met in our college fellowship group and were "just friends" for three years before we started dating. We've been together for four years now and can't wait to get married in sunny SoCal, Mr. Daffodil's hometown.
The First To Arrive!
March 20th, 2008 @ 11:15 am by Mrs. Daffodil
Wheee! We received our first registry gifts! I went to LA this past weekend to do some wedding planning with FMIL, and look what was awaiting us!
I know this probably seems to be a silly post, but it does feel like a little milestone in a way! I dunno, something about the acknowledgement by friends/relatives/our parents’ friends that, wow, we really really ARE about to start a new life together! I feel so touched by their thoughts and generosity (we haven’t even sent out our invitations yet!… yes, I am running behind… yikes!). All this also really makes it so real to me…We’re REALLY getting married SOON!
The big lovely BBB box (we also had a Crate and Barrel one but I forgot to take a pic of it!)
Behold, our first gifts…a lovely hand mixer and toaster oven!! 
I love to bake and Mr. D can’t survive without a toaster oven…woohoo!
Awww…People are so nice! What was your reaction when you received your first registry gift?

i just about died. Once I get my shower pics from my gfs, I felt sooooooooooooooooooooooo spoiled and so loved.
Yay for your gifts! Those are awesome!
Oh, just wait as it gets closer to the wedding! There was a stretch of time where every time we came home, there were boxes lined up all the way to the front door! I think our UPS/Fed Ex guy was ready for our wedding to be over, but it made be giggle with glee every day to see what goodies would be there.
I just got my first one today! YAY!! totally did a little dance and called my fiance. He tried to convince me that i had to wait for him to get home from a work function late tonight before i opened them… ya right. haha he was just joking though.
