Things to fill our home

Lately, I have been thinking about what I wanted Michael and I to register for.  I was thinking practial things...Michael was thinking a Vizio 55" LED flat screen.  So I knew I was going to be pulling teeth the day we finally decided to go and register.  Since I am a list person I knew I would want to go look before actually registering so I would know what was out there and which stores had the best quality and offer.  I also knew that I wanted my dishes to be red because I want my kitchen to be red with pigs.  Many people have thought this to be weird, but being from Arkansas and a lover of the Razorbacks...I thought this would be a good way to show our Razorback Pride without having Razorback things all over the place.  This past Saturday Michael and I were bored so we decided to head to Bed, Bath, & Beyond and Walmart to see what we liked.  Well immediately we began agreeing on things and actually picking out what we knew we wanted.  We also saw a few things that Michael was like ohhh I want this...can I please put this on the list?!?!?  As we were walking around we had our phones out taking pictures of the things we liked.  I also began noticing that there were several couples who were registering...Michael kept asking why we didn't just go get a thing and do it for real.  I stood firm on the fact that we were just looking and I was going to make a list to bring with us.  Well...on Sunday after church and lunch with my fam we headed out once again to register for real!!!!  We are officially registered at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Walmart, and Dillards.  Here are a few pictures of my favorite things....

This is our bedding from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, it is a Duvet Cover and I love it.  I am glad we decided on a neutral color so we have options for when we decorate the rest of the room!!!



This is our everyday dinnerware from Bed, Bath, & Beyond, The plates we decided on are the square ones but in this collection by Oneida. I am in love with the red!!!



This is our Paula Dean cookware from Walmart, it's non-stick and most importantly RED!!!



This is our China from Dillards, it is Coronet Platinum by Lenox. It is simple and I love it!!!  We also registered for some silver servingware that goes perfectly with it!!

Well these are just a few things that I love that we registered for. I can't wait to see what all we will get.  Overall, it was a really fun experience that Michael and I had...minus the fact that we couldn't figure out the scanner at Bed, Bath, & Beyond and found out that Walmart only has one scanner per store...GHETTO!!!
