Boys, Brothers, Buds...

Over the past few years, I've been able to watch Daniel interact with his brother, Eric, on a daily basis. If they aren't playing computer games with each other or calling each other on their way to/from work, then they're IMing or emailing each other. Or so it seems from my perspective :)But I guess there is something to be said about this closeness they share.

Growing up I only had one brother and one sister, so I never really knew about how close brothers can get. This isn't to say that my sister and I weren't and aren't close, but I think there is a special bond between brothers that us girls will never understand :) When Matthew was born, we didn't know that someday he too would have a brother to share life with. I hope that one day they will be the best of buds, just like Eric and Daniel (who still are best buds and they live many miles apart). I look forward to watching my two boys grow up together, wrestle together, catch frogs together, play football together, and do all the things that boys do best together. Besides...won't that leave me with only ONE Princess to pamper? :) ...all to myself!
(Ok, I'll share... if I must;)

"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Prov. 18:24)

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
