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!

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...

Whew...what a week/end!

This past weekend my brother got married in Indiana and we had a great but exhausting time. Who would have ever thought that taking a weekend trip to see your brother get married would be so much fun but even more exhausting? Well this was the kids first airplane trip and they enjoyed it! We left Thursday evening after Daniel got home from work to drive to Houston so we could fly out from there on Friday morning. We ended up getting to Houston around 9:30 p.m. and didn't get to bed until 10:30 and we had to be up at 3:45 AM on Friday to catch our 6 a.m. flight. I couldn't sleep Thursday night for fear that I would miss the alarm clock so I tossed and turned all night. Plus we were all pretty excited so that made it even harder to sleep. I was thinking the kids would wake up pretty grouchy at 3:45 but to our amazement, they were up and excited and ready to go. They didn't even go back to sleep in the car! When we got to the airport, I realized we had a few pitied eyes looki...

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!
