Busy...busy....busy

It's been a VERY busy two months. Every weekend I've had something going on. It's made me realize, I should carry my camera with me more often. So many things to blog about. I've had Katie & Brandie's babyshower, performed a wedding for Ashley & Jermey, went to Kaden's 2nd birthday party and helped my friend Monica move into a super cute new apartment. I've also enjoyed the wonderful aminities of Monica's new place. I'm sure I'm missing something...I did miss my niece Holly's 16th birthday, but I've added a sweet picture of her & the fam at the party. More pics to come...

Weekend in Dallas

I went up to Dallas a couple of weeks ago for Brandie's baby shower. A big storm hit as we got into town, luckily I was already on W.D. Tate. Mom was on the highway and hydroplaned. Poor thing was shaking for an hour after that. We all went shopping at the resale store, made Brandie a diaper cake and went to the shower. When we got home Mom, Angie & I cut down part of a tree that had split and was blocking her driveway. We looked at pictures Saturday night, it was so much fun looking back over the years. We should really get together more often.

Way of Life

I've become a coupon fanatic! I look at all of these websites, print coupons, collect the Sunday paper, pick up extra coupon books from the recycling center and my co-workers bring me their extra coupons too. Since we're all watching our wallets more these days I'm going to start documenting all of the lovely ways you can save some money!


Here are some of my favorites:
