Presents!!!

Casey and I have already received a few presents and the wedding is over a year away.  Over the years Granny has given all of her granddaughters a cake plate for their engagement.  Casey and I were no different and received a beautiful cake plate.  My mother gave us crystal toasting flutes as well.

Everyone already knows that my family is the most important thing to me.  About a month ago Granny called me and asked if I would like one of her sets of china.  I was thrilled.  I had not planned on registering for china, because it just didn't seem practical.  My mother and sister both have china I could use if needed.  My aunt drove to my granny's for a visit and brought the china back with her.  I love it.  I love having something that was Granny and Pop's.  The sentimental value of having pieces that belong to your family is wonderful and beats anything you can buy in a store.

Great week at home!!

I'm home on fall break and loving every second.  I have spent each day with my niece and nephew.  My week has been filled with hop scotch, side walk chalk, gymnastics, tea parties, swing sets, and most importantly my nephew sleeping in my arms. 

Today my mom and I started the registering process for my wedding.  So far we have decided to register at Macy's and Bed Bath and Beyond.
