Oh, coupons...

So, today I decided to enter the world of couponing... at least I have ambitions to do that. =) This week at Harris Teeter- it is triple coupon week! http://www.harristeeter.com/promotions/online_coupons/coupon_policy.aspx I am going to try it out on Saturday! I have never done this before. Any suggestions from fellow couponers? :) (Natalie??) I clipped my coupons today and am all ready to go on my first coupon expedition. Wish me luck!!


On another note, did you know that Michael's has a FREE Mother's Day card-making event? On Saturday, May 8 from 10am to Noon AND right after the card making even, there is a FREE Mother's Day Wilton Cookie event. I might go to these. Anybody care to join? Let me know!

Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas on cameras. I do just want point and shoot. Nothing too elaborate. Basically, I just want to be able to take pictures and upload. :) I will look into some of these suggestions.
Thanks for the insight! :)

Back to Reality

Well, yesterday school started again. But, this is my favorite quarter, because we have such fun events going on. Here are a few:

1) Mother's Day Tea (We are going to take pictures of the kids for their moms-- girls in boas and gloves and boys in top hats. ) It's always so fun to see the kids interact with their moms. :)
2) A field trip to Marbles Museum.
3) End of the Year Party (A Luau)
4) The Annual 1st grade talent show (always a laugh and so much fun! :))
5) Lunch date with Dad

And that is just a few... not to mention how much I LOVE Spring weather!!! We really do all sorts of fun things. :)


On another note- my camera broke last week :( which means no pictures for a little bit. I am looking for a new one. Any suggestions??

He is RISEN!

Okay, okay... technically I am a day late. But Christ has Risen and that is worth celebrating! He conquered death and sin AND triumphed over the enemy! Even though "Resurrection Sunday" was yesterday... it can be celebrated today and every day for that matter. We sometimes fall into a pattern of celebrating Christ's birth and his death/resurrection on its designated day (Christmas and Easter), but as Pastor Horner said yesterday- it is meant to be celebrated ALL year long! If you are IN Christ- you can celebrate it all year long! Isn't that great!? Take some time, today to celebrate what Christ has done for you, today. :)

Good Friday

Today represents the day when my Savior died for me. He took my sin upon himself and saved me when I could not save myself. The second verse of "Before the Throne of God" comes to mind:

When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within, Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end of all my sin. Because the sinless Savior died My sinful soul is counted free. For God the just is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me.

Take some time to reflect on that today. Christ took our place and made a way for us! What an amazing sacrifice that was!

Here We Go...

So I promised my sister that I would start blogging when I got married... I have been married for almost a year and have never really blogged... so here it goes. For those of you that are blog fans, bear with me as I enter the world of blogging and learn the ins and outs of it. I guess I have never thought my life to be interesting enough to blog about but I will let the readers decide that, I suppose.

So, for my first post- I will begin with some good news. After almost 10 months of studying, Keith passed the NC Bar! I am so proud of him! Way to go, babe!

After Keith took the Bar, we took a little trip to Hilton Head Island. Here are some pictures from our trip:
We rented bikes and rode around our resort. It was fun! :)
We went out to eat at a nice restaurant that overlooked the harbor! It was beautiful.
This was on top of the lighthouse. As you can see, it was pretty windy up there.



We also went to eat at a Japanese steak house one night.

Well, there you have it, my first attempt at blogging! Enjoy! :)
