Hi friends! You may be wondering why we have such a comprehensive Registry if we have been living with each other as adults for 5 years and have had our own home now for 4 of those years! That's a very great question! Ryan and I have been making ends meet this entire time with household items that were either extremely affordable (for a 20 and 19 year old - that's how old we were when we started living together) or handed down to us by friends and family members. We have mis matched, low quality everything! We even refrained from buying things we didn't really think we needed (like an electric hand mixer) - and then we have found out the hard way that we *actually* DO need these things (like volunteering to make 3 caseroles for Thanksgiving and having to mix everything by hand). Because of this, we are missing a lot of things. We have bowls, pots, and pans with no lids - incomplete sets, and we are missing common kitchen items.

In addition, Ryan has single-handedly remodeled our entire kitchen this year - giving us a newly functional space that can *finally* store everything and make cooking easier for us! We would love to fill our new kitchen with items that are as functional, necessary, and beautiful as the remodeled space! In order to fully step into adulthood, we are asking to upgrade the kitchen items that got us through college and early adulthood and round out our home with items that we can use to cook meals for our family and host with!
