Grocery Savings Today

Mine and Josh's goal this year is to get all of our business debt paid off so one way we are going to cut money in other places is by saving money on groceries by matching coupons with grocery deals. I am also learning how to save money with CVS, but I'm not doing well enough yet to tell you how how I'm doing. Well today I went to Kroger and Publix.
At Publix I bought $76.37 worth of groceries and paid $40.36. So, I saved a total of $36.01.
Then at Kroger I bought $73.79 worth of groceries and paid 52.89. I saved a total of $20.90. So all together I bought $150.16 worth of groceries and only paid $93.25. I saved $56.91. Not to bad! I hope in the weeks to come, I can save even more!

Today I feel...

Blessed! I am so grateful for my family! Today I was reminded how great I truly have it and how important family is!!

1/04/08 Picture

I wanted to get a picture of this, because I think this is the cleanest Hayden's play area has ever been! Josh cleaned it last night, which doesn't happen very often so I guess I should have gotten a picture of Josh cleaning it:) But anyways, I don't think this will last very long, but at least I will have a picture as a reminder of how it can look and that Josh really can clean up when he wants to.

New Years Resolutions

1.) To figure out what I want to do as a career and start working towards achieving my goals!

2.) To not let little nit picky things Josh does irritate me and just focus on the things he does that make me love him so much! :)

3.) Take more pictures!

4.) Start working again on Hayden's scrapbook. (I got lazy when I started working)

5.) Find a new house! (I can't wait for this one!!-Hopefully at the end of March)

6.) Now that I won't be working so much get everything in our house organized and keep everything clean(and don't let Josh or Hayden touch anything-j/k but sometimes I do wish I could this :) )

7.) Work on letting things ago. Instead of writing people out of my life when they don't act the way I think they should, I am going to try and accept that people aren't always perfect and forgive! (This is going to be a hard one for me!)

8.) Keep this blog updated!

9.) Start paying some debt down :(

Happy New Year!

I can not believe it's 2008! 2007 flew by. I'm excited for a new year, but hope that it is not as eventful as 2007. I think I'm ready for some relaxation and routine. We celebrated Josh's birthday and then celebrated the new year with a very sleepy 19 month old! I'm excited to see what 2008 has in store for us! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years Eve. Make your New Year's Resolutions. I still don't know what mine are so I will try and get back with those later!

Me, Hayden (not excited at all that his daddy woke him up), Josh and Dylan (our nephew)
ringing in the new year :)


Josh's Birthday cake that a girl at my work made him! I love it!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Today Josh turns 23! I first met him when he was 20 and I can't believe it's been that long ago! Last night we went to Houston's for his birthday and he gets to sleep in today(if you don't have any kids sleeping in is a big deal) , because Hayden's aunt and uncle kept him last night.Then tonight we are watching the Clemson game with Chris and Meggie and having cake! Happy Birthday Josh! I love you:)

Smokey Mountain Christmas:)

Here are the pictures I promised from our Christmas in Tennessee. We had a great time and really enjoyed watching Hayden this year. Last year he didn't understand what was going on, but this year was completely different!

Trying to take a family picture in the mountains, but Hayden had other plans. Notice I'm the only one looking at the camera! Haha:)

Josh with his driver he got for Christmas. He also got golf clubs from my family!
Josh's snake boots for work! I think they're ugly, but he likes them.
Hayden playing with his new toy. He loves this!
Hayden was excited he got his very own phone!
