93% Savings? Yes Please!

Here is what I got today:
So it's probably evident that I don't have a lot of hobbies! I've taken up extreme shopping as a new hobby and it's working out pretty well. As a result of some strategic planning, coupon cutting and using stores rewards programs, I spent $5.92 on all this stuff today. The total cost of all of this would have been $80.59! So, um.....if you trust the math of the English major, I saved 93%! As much as I would love to have you over, give you a glass of tea, and explain to you in painstaking detail how I did all of this, I can see you cringing from here, so I'll spare you the details unless y'all just reeeeally want them.

To put things in perspective, take that pack of Huggies diapers for example. The regular price for those is $11.00 (not that I have EVER paid full price for diapers). Basically, I spent about half the cost of ONE pack of diapers and got ALL this stuff!

Go me!

Happy Mother's Day!

Dear Mama,

First of all, you were right. About what? About pretty much everything!

Second, I'm sorry! For what? For being dramatic, for being a slob, for only cleaning the entire kitchen ONCE, for that time I made you cry at the Sizzler for being so darn bad and ungrateful.

Also, Thank you! For what? For forcing me to make friends, for getting me little surprises, for cooking a good meal for me every day and making restaurant trips (even fast food) a treat, for coming to my many thousand sporting events, for not letting me wear too much makeup, for making me bring home decent grades, for teaching me to save money, for letting me learn some things the hard way, for letting me talk about nothing on the phone and for loving all the people that love me.

Love you Mama!

My Goings On

It's been a long time since I've posted and boy, we've had a LOT going on. I'm still pregnant and feeling more so every day! Right now, I'm 21 weeks!


Some days I feel huge but this picture doesn't look like it for some reason.

In case you didn't know.......

The blue blanket means we're having (another) BOY!
Jason and I have narrowed our choices down to 3 names. He won't give me free reign so I told him to choose between the 3. He's really, really procrastinating. Right now, his name is Mister Baby Robinson but if his DADDY hasn't made a decision in a few days, he's going to become Cletus the Fetus.

He may not have a name...

But he has a diaper bag!


Also, we color coordinated for Easter :)


My sweet Joe gets better looking every day! I just don't know what I'm going to do with him!


Today, on the way to school, Joe and I saw the most gigantor turtle I have ever seen:

My Dad thinks he was a gopher tortoise, about 12-15 years old and not even full grown!
I wanted to put my shoe in the picture for perspective but I was afraid he would bite my foot off (turns out they're gentle). From my estimate, he was about 2 feet long from his nose to his tail. His shell was like a serving platter!

Last, but certainly not least, the bittersweet news.

My dear, sweet Grandma passed away March 30th. She was just a wonderful person. She was well loved and well taken care of. I already miss her so much, but I know, thanks to my Savior Jesus Christ, I will see her again! She is no longer sick, she is no longer missing her husband, and she is rocking her only baby boy.

Thank y'all for reading and I'll see you again soon!
