3 down .... a few to go.

Friday we headed to Tulsa to go engagement picture clothes shopping. Before we hit the mall I needed to go to Sam's and get my membership card. We became official Sam's Club members for the year as  I am prom sponsor and will be shopping there for prom food! Taylor really enjoyed shopping at Sam's because every single aisle offered some different kind of free samples to eat! He didn't need lunch once we left there! We loaded up the truck with all kinds of crap... I mean... quality products in bulk. Once that hour and a half long pit stop was complete we headed for Woodland Hills Mall. Since we had some time we decided to register for wedding gifts. Our plan was to keep it simple and affordable. We decided that we don't really have much need for china........ well, who does????? Instead, we opted for Wilton Armetale silver plates as our 'china'.  This seems more practical to us than delicate plates you can't put in the dishwasher and hope not to drop! We also registered for WA serving platters of all kinds. We chose the dot pattern for our servers. For all of those of you who have registered lately... how much fun is that scanner gun!!!!! We are now experts in the art of the gun and say that the Target and Macy's gun is MUCH better than Dillard's. We have taken to calling Dillard's dillardos... unsure why but we are entertained none the less. Our silverware matches our dot patterned WA. The utensils all have the dots on them ! For our daily use dishes we chose a mixture of cream/tan dishes in multiple patterns. That way if we drop some or find something in the future we can just add to it! We chose some fun brightly colored plates from Macy' too! For Taylor, we picked a few cool grilling tools!Oh yeah~ when we were scanning things in Macy's this makeup woman came up to us and handed me a free Clinique lip gloss as a courtesy gift. Taylor put his hand out for his free gift and was told 'he doesn't matter at this point, stand out of the girl's way.' I know it's a cliche' but couldn't be further from the truth! He has been right in the middle of all of the planning and is having a ball doing it! When we returned the scanner gun in housewares the woman told us she was distracted by my ring!
By this point in the evening we were famished! We went to Zio's (one of my favorites!) for dinner. It was FREEZING in there! Taylor had the best baked ziti and I had an amazing brick oven pizza. Target was our last stop. We needed a few basics but also registered there as well. That was fun too! All in all the day was wonderful. We truly enjoyed each other and loved that fact that we liked the same things as we were shopping.  So: we are registered at Dillardo's, Macy's, and Target. Next stop: Prairie Rose, Brace Books, Mud Pies, Lowry's.... and maybe the dollar store (ha! kidding!).
