Going back in time...way back!

So I was going through my old yearbooks in the attic this weekend and decided I should dust them off and take a peek inside. I can't believe how much things have changed over the years!! Here is a picture of me in 1966...gotta love the hairdo! I still remember the day I took this picture! OH and here's a picture of my boyfriend Daniel that I found loose in an album taken in 1956. Wasn't he gorgeous?

And then here's me in 1974 sporting a straight do...I can't remember how many hours I used to spend in front of a mirror with hot rollers trying to straighten my hair. Thank goodness they have Chi flat irons nowadays! Here's my boyfriend Daniel again from 1970...can you believe we're still together here!? I must say that during this time, Daniel's glasses and hair really made me weak in the knees every time I saw him!

And oh yes...who can forget this one? This is me in 1996 with my super blonde hair and huge earrings. And here's my boyfriend again, Daniel...isn't he just stunning? Wow, isn't it amazing how our facial features didn't change one bit from 1956 to 1996...that's 40 years!!!

I know I know...you must be asking, what in the world do we do to keep such wonderful features over all these years? Well, all I can say is that the good Lord has been kind to us and blessed us. Even after all these years, and all we've been through, it's still wonderful to say that Daniel is still the love of my life. I can't believe our 10 year high school reunions are coming up next May 2009!

P.S. - I know this was a super silly blog, but it's been fun! Create your own yearbook photo at http://yearbookyourself.com/.

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...

Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus...Contemporary style

Yesterday I went to the store for a few things and ended up buying a Nativity set and displayed it in the house. Of course, it wasn't long before the kids found it and started playing with the pieces. Matthew ran around saying "Baby Jesus!...I love you baby Jesus!" and then Katherine wanted to pretend that Christopher was baby Jesus. So a few towels, headbands, and bathrobes later, this is the outcome:) Katherine praying over her newly born baby Jesus- Katherine and baby Jesus so excited and filled with joy- Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in the stable (yes, with a Christmas tree in the background)- Luke 2:14 "And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth."

A Little Bit of Christmas...

I've had a lot of fun this year decorating for Christmas! Last year we really didn't decorate since we had just moved into our house and weren't even in town long enough to enjoy it. Plus in years past, we've had a 4 foot Christmas tree that was "child-proof". Well this year our tree is definitely not child proof but I guess we took the risk. It's been great watching the kid's faces every morning looking at the tree and turning on the lights and train underneath it. We also figured out that the train calms Christopher down and sometimes puts him to sleep! Last night he was really fussy and after a while we weren't sure what to do. So we just sat down in front of the tree and turned the train on for Matt, and Christopher just watched it go around and round for a while and stopped crying! We'll have to try that again!...maybe we should keep the train out year round! :) Daniel was in the Christmas spirit last night and decided to wrap two presents...
