In about 5 months, we will be Husband & Wife (Mr Dan & Mrs Amanda Eberhardt)!
We woke up Valentine's day morning to find out we *won* a free photography package with a very talented photographer named Daniel Woolf. We jumped up and down with joy in our pajamas when I read his blog about us the first thing Valentine's day morning: Click here to read it.
To win the contest, we had to submit a story about our romance. The deadline was February 10th. Amanda heard about the opportunity on February 8th, submitted Our Love Story February 10th, and we won the photography package the morning of February 14th! We are so excited, and so thankful for a generous gift like this. We'll share some clips of our photo shoot in future Amandahardt blogs. :)
We were so excited and elated about everything, that we decided to start registering for gifts today.
Registering for gifts isn't just about *receiving* gifts. It is about dreaming of our life together...creating a home with each other. Living our lives together as best friends. Cooking meals together in the kitchen, the warm smell of dessert, and eating at our dining room table together. Cuddling up by candlelight on a cold evening, capturing photos and memories on vacations together, hosting family get togethers in our *new* house, or even inviting some friends over for a dinner party or a BBQ. ♥
Since we have old fashioned ideals, we haven't moved in together before we are married. So when we are married, we are going to start a brand new home together. What we love..is that we both have the same taste in home decor, and have a lot of the same hobbies. Dan enjoys cooking. Amanda loves to bake. We both love music, movies, dancing, fashion design, sushi, and good old Wisconsin BBQs. Amanda loves a bubble bath after a rough day, or a foot massage. Dan loves to go fishing and camping, but he also loves the city life.
The sales associates that helped us with our registry at Williams Sonoma & Target thought we did a great job picking items. Our helper at Williams Sonoma was so inspired by our selections that she wished that she could get married all over again! We told her to renew her vows. ♥

After jumping up and down, we cuddled and ate the cinnamon rolls & donuts Amanda made from scratch for Dan to eat on Valentine's Day morning. (If you didn't know, Amanda is the owner of her own little cupcake catering company Amanda Cupcake and Dan is her taste tester!! She made the donuts out of love for his belly).

An electric fondue pot from Williams Sonoma. This is really sentimental to us because after Dan proposed, and Amanda said yes..we went to The Melting Pot where we discovered a mad mad love for all things fondue!! This is a must for our kitchen. ♥
