Our first wedding gift

FI and I aren't registering for gifts and we've told those who have asked that we really don't need anything. We have collected a lot ourselves and have also been very blessed by our families. That doesn't mean that I wasn't excited, however, when my grandma bought me an early wedding gift that I've secretly wanted! I love baking. It's kind of a hobby of mine. I like trying new recipes, making co-workers goodies, and stealing those cupcake decorating ideas from Martha Stewart and Woman's World magazine. I sound old, I know haha I had always thought a stand mixer would be great to have in the kitchen to help me in my baking escapades, but it's one of those things that you want but don't need, so I never took the liberty of buying one for myself. Well my amazingly thoughtful grandma had heard me briefly mention wanting one and she just surprised me with a 6-speed Hamilton Beach model with 3 different mixing heads complete with a stainless steel mixing bowl with pour spout which is going to make filling cupcake and muffin pans much easier. Am I a bit of a dork for being so excited about a kitchen appliance? Quite possibly. But I'm a dork who's not going to have to wisk my own egg whites or knead my own dough from now on :)
