YAY!!

Well today is a YAY day for several reasons. First, I found out yesterday that I'm going to be an Aunt in April (yes Elizabeth)! YAAAAAY!...this gives me so much joy! I can't wait to have a little neice or nephew to cuddle and spoil, as well as a playmate for my kids. What fun! I get so excited just thinking about it. :)

The second reason today is a YAY day is because I went and had highlights and lowlights put in my hair for FREE from Melissa at Toni&Guy at the mall. My hair turned out perfect and I'm super pleased!! I found out about this opportunity on Craigslist because she was needing a model in order to fulfill all of her advanced education training. Plus a friend of mine watched my 2 boys for me so I could go get pampered. Thanks Amanda! It's been a great day and God has really poured out his blessings on me today! :) Here are some pics of the hair transformation (click on them for a larger version of pic)-

I love your highlights!! They look great! I am so in desperate need of updating mine and I think I might check on craigslist as well. Thanks for asking about teaching. It is going well. I am learning so much about these kiddoes. They are tons of fun and tons of stress at times but the Lord is taking me through it all. I know I cannot change my students but I can make some kind of impact. More importantly I am being faithful to God in this job. How are you doing?

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...

Poor Guy...

On Saturday Christopher (our 2 yr. old) was outside playing in the backyard with our other kids and fell and hurt his leg. He cried on and off for most of the night and wouldn't walk or even stand on his leg but we didn't see any swelling, so we somewhat thought he just badly pulled a muscle/tendon or had a sprain. On Sunday afternoon, we decided to take him to the urgent care and they took X-rays and found that he has a spiral fracture on his tibia (i.e. - the larger bone in the leg), which means he has a broken leg. They put his leg in a splint and told us to contact an orthopedic surgeon this week. Today, I made an appointment early (and actually got in for this afternoon!) to see a pediatric orthopedist and the Dr. said that he has to be in long leg cast (goes from toe to uppermost part of thigh) for 4 1/2 weeks and then we'll come back and take more X-rays to determine if he'll need a short cast put on. If it's healed properly, then we can just remove the long ...

6 years...

So it's January 19th...our anniversary! I can't believe we've been married for six years. In some ways it seems like we've been married such a loooonngg time, but in other ways it feels like we're still dating. Nevertheless, the past 6 years have been great, even as I remember the challenges we've faced together. I think they've just made us stronger. I can honestly say that after 6 years, we have never had a fight where both of us were angry and yelling at each other...like the movies. Thank the Lord! There may have been times where we weren't just soo lovey dovey with each other, or may have said things that weren't nice, but for some reason we seem to get over it quickly and move on. I'm thankful for Daniel and how loving he is towards me and his consistency in showing love to me no matter what. After 6 years, 3 kids, 4 apartments, 1 house, 1 dog, and 3 cities later, I'm so blessed to have Daniel as my husband!
