So last night I tired couponing....it wasn't as successful as I had hoped and planned.I did save around 20 dollars. Now I am not saying that I was expecting to buy like oodles and boodles and walk out with a 6 dollar bill but still. Oh well I will keep on trying. Part of my problem was there are lots of great coupons on line, but we didn't have any ink so a big part of our purchase was the stinkin ink for Kris's printer. So maybe the next time it will work out better.

In other new baby Audrey is here. She is 6 lbs 4oz. And 19.5 inches long. Congrats to my brother in law and my sister in law on their new baby girl. I know Kris is excited. It just different when it's you own sibling having a baby. Because they are the ones that you grew up besides and have this sort of kindred bond with. I know he love EB and Lorelia but it's just a different feel when it's your brother having a baby. I think he thinks I am going to be mad at him or something if he says how excited he is. Or he could feel not manly for being so excited. For the shower I think that is why he wanted to help so much.

I don't know how to tag peoples blog to give them an award so when I find out I will finish that section.

Couponing

So I hate to say it but I think that I am going to jump on this whole band wagon thing of couponing. Now I am I going to go stock piling looking like I will be prepared for years if some disaster were to strike... um no. But it would be nice to save money. As most know we are two extremely poor teachers, private school teachers I might add to that...so you can get some degree of poorness. I kind of always told myself that I would never do the whole couponing things.
I did that because my mom always use to and it would embarrass me. I guess I didn't want people knowing that we didn't have a lot of money. We didn't have a lot of money at all by mom alway provided and one major thing that helped was cutting out coupons every Sunday.
Now I kind of look forward to it.It wouldn't hurt us at all to save some money here and there. I am so not going to the extreme those people on TLC. But who doesn't love saving money on the things they need. If anyone has any advice on how to do this to say the most money as possible feel free to share with me :-).

Just mad for Harry

Now all people who know me....know my goals living in New Orleans
1. Be the best wife I can be to Kris
2. Show and tell others about Jesus Christ
3. Meet Harry Connick Jr.
4. Go to HCJ concert
I am a very simple girl with very simple dreams. Well this past weekend I got to see him in concert for my Birthday. Some may say no big deal a concert is a concert. Umm.. Wrong...last real concert that I have been to would be Nysnc in the 6th grade with my wonderful sister...who so sweetly took me :). Yeah I was obsessed with Nsync. Justin Beiber doesn't hold a candle to anyone of those five guys. I was excited for That concert I couldn't sleep like the week before or after. Fast forward more than a decade later and you would have thought I was in the sixth grade again. I couldn't sleep the night before and I told everyone who I was a going to see (like they cared at all but they were still gonna know).
All the times he came to Greenville I was in another country or broke. So after 20 something years of borderline obsession I finally got to see him in concert :). The only sad thing...he didn't play "Wink and a Smile"' (our song..cheesy i know) but other than that it was the best concert I have ever been to. Kris even enjoyed. I think Kris might have thought he was a comic genius or something. I was amazed. Kris doesn't understand the HCJ love at all. Kris has never really been into music or has an obsessive personality like I do either. What can I saw "I was born this way." I didn't take any pictures which is really sad and dishearting because the signs said not to. I know plenty of people always break those rules but I wasn't going to get kicked out of something I have waited my whole life for.
So all that to say goal 4 in life is now crossed off. I would have really loved to have done three and four this weekend but that just didn't happen. You can guarantee when I hopefully if ever, meet him I will have pictures to document momentous occasion.
