Wedding Registry

Dear friends and family,

In creating my registry here at amazon.com, I realized a number of things:

1. We already have most of what we need

2. Frank has a more complete set of cooking gear than most people I know, and we don't even cook that often!

3. The things we actually need are items like tubberware containers, bedsheets, pillows and towels...not the most glamorous of gift items, but we need them!! And being a medicine resident means going to the local walmart or grocery store is sometimes a challenge. (This is why hospital cafeterias carry fresh produce).

4. If you don't like anything you see on the registry, you are more than welcome to come up with your own gift ideas! We like surprises =)

5. Frank has set up a paypal account if you prefer to donate to our "adventure fund." This will most likely be used towards buying bicycles and going on a few vacations when my schedule permits.

Again, having you in our lives is the most special gift we can ask for, and we can't wait to see many of you at the wedding!


All our love,

Stephanie and Frank
