Our Insane Asylum

My first China choice wasn't very "me" so before it was too late I decided to change. I love my new china pattern, Wedgwood Sterling, very classic or as Wedgwood describes it, "classic yet with modern sensibilities."  I am keeping the same stemware and de-frosting the flatware (Stemware is Marquis Allegra Platinumis and the flatware is Lenox Vintage Jewel. The flatware was originally Vintage Jewel Frost.)




I also chose my everyday china from Pottery Barn. It is simple white (Emma) with seasonal accent plates. Very clean looking and with colorful accent plates for each season it is something that we can easily change up and won't get bored with.

And I figure white everyday china is like buying a white car... if/when it gets a scratch (or chip in the china's case) you won't be able to tell.

After registering for our china, everyday china and bath towels, (Our bath towels are also white. Who knows what our decor will be, much less where we will be living.) Nathan was worried that we would feel like he was living in an insane asylum... which might not be too far from the truth.

We booked our Honeymoon!

We just booked our honeymoon to St. Lucia at Sandals! As I sit in front of my space heater, I am imagining I am there all ready. Besides the amazing beaches, St. Lucia is known for their beautiful mountains and rainforest.


And we really want to zip line through the rainforest like this guy!

The Ring

How one ring kept us from the other


Tomorrow is the BCS National Championship and Nathan and I are incredibly bummed that we are not going to the game. We could be enjoying the warm Santa Ana winds of Pasadena, but Nathan proposed and according to our families, we have to make grown up decisions... like save money. You don't want to go into being newlyweds with both sets of parents against you. Had Nathan waited until after the SEC Championship to propose, I am very confident we would not be engaged right now.

So while The University fights for their perfect season and 13th National Championship, Nathan and I will be cheering on our alma mater from home. We have high hopes that Coach Saban will lead the Tide to another  championship game...hopefully when we have money.

The University may get there 13th National Championship ring tomorrow but mine is much prettier!

Oh and Happy Mark Ingram Day! RTR!!
