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...

Our Thanksgiving

I know this is a little late, but better late than never right!? We had a very fun Thanksgiving this year, as usual, visiting the families in Houston. We ate great food, as always, had fun family time, and I even got to spend kidless girl time with my sister which was lots of fun! Grandpa Farmer was here for Thanksgiving this year and this man just amazes me. This is Daniel's almost 92 year old Grandpa with Christopher, almost 7 months old. Grandpa is in such great health and puts most 70 year olds to shame! We went to a Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving and he was walking all through the forest carrying a measuring stick for the tree and did a great job keeping up with us! Not only does he NOT need a cane, wheel chair, dentures, a nursing home, or any of those other "old-people" things, but he does an amazing job holding a conversation and following a football game! Anyways, he is a great Godly man and an honor to be around. I hope my boys will follow in his...

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...
