Cricut Class

For Christmas Barry was nice enough to get me a cricut expression! It is the best invention ever! I love it! It makes life so much easier. I kind of had the thought that it would make scrapbooking cheaper. Well, in some ways it has and in others it is more expensive! But it is worth every penny. It was kind of overwhelming at first, and then my mom and I figured out there was a beginner cricut class. So, while my mom was in here in December she bought the class for me!! Thanks mom! It was the whole month of February and I learned SO much! I dont think I would have figured out for a long time half of the stuff I learned! Here is the project that we made....

It is a kids counting book! Its really cute!Here is a card that I made for a friends birthday

Budget!!!

So, with the economy the way it has been going and life in general I have put us on a budget! It has been an adjustment. We have always just spent and never realized how much money we are wasting!!! Especially on fast food and restraunts! I found this wonderful website that I now use when I grocery shop it is called http://www.grocerysmarts.com/. It's the best! I have saved so much money!!! I am very grateful that Barry and I have good jobs and are making it in this struggiling time!! Unfortunatly Barry and I have expensive hobbies! I had to realize that eating is more important than cartridges for my cricut and paper!! But I have been able to find some good deals on cricut stuff with a little research! I love that thing, but it is expensive to maintain! One other thing I have been reading is a book called Hidden Treasures! I highly reccomened it! It talks about comfort and guidance you should seek to have the financial delivernce you seek! it has opened my eyes to new things! Thanks for listening to my ramble!

Valentines Day and Wendover!!!

Well, this post probably should have been first but thats ok! For valentines day Barry got me some really pretty roses and had them sent to work! it was such a suprise!

we just had a light dinner and then spent the evening with friends:) We spent our anniversary weekend in wendover, nevada (normally a dangerous place for Barry, hehe) He was a good boy! We went and saw emerson Drive, they were amazing!!! We also had a jucuzzi sweet, which was fabulous!!

One Year Anniversary

Well, here I am out to try this blogging thing! I think I might have figured it out! Welcome to out blog, hope you enjoy our life! We think it's pretty fun! Today is our 1 year anniversary!! I cant believe that a year as already come and gone. It is true I think when they say that they first year is the hardest! We have had our up's and down's, but I would like to think that we had more ups! Being married is such a blessing and I am thankful everyday for finding someone to spend eternity with!
