We got TONS of rain this past weekend and it was so, so wonderful. We kept our front door open as it poured down all Saturday afternoon and through the night. The temperatures are slowly but surely lowering, and dare I say it, it's almost feeling like autumn!
I have completed my first true crochet project. I don't really consider the few scarves that I've made anything big... but I made the CUTEST baby beanie hat for my great niece! I actually made 2, the first one wasn't terrible, but not as perfect as I wanted it to be. Of course, it's too small for my 3 month old great niece, but I think it will be perfect in January when Ashley has her little bundle of joy, Kylie. Speaking of Kylie, Ashley's baby shower is coming up! I'm excited to help plan and organize it... it's so much fun to be able to plan and craft all things baby without actually feeling the responsibility of parenthood.
I should totally post these pictures that I keep promising... like my apartment with pictures on the walls, our sponsored child from Haiti, Rose, and this hat that I crocheted. I promise, I will get around to it! I'm hoping that Ryan and I will get iPhones soon so uploading photos to the computer will be that much simpler.
Oh! And I think I'm finally getting the hang of this couponing thing. Like I've said before, I'm no extreme couponer... I just use a Sunday newspaper insert and occasionally some I'll find on the internet. I did, however, save nearly 28 dollars the other night at H-E-B! That's definitely the most I've ever saved with my coupons, but I also saved 19 last night. I'm getting pretty excited about this. :)
I love saving money... especially because I'm not exactly bringing a whole lot of it to the table right now. 18 hours a week at minimum wage just isn't cutting it anymore. I'll be SO SO SO ready to graduate and get a new job.
Tomorrow is my mommy's birthday. I love her so much.Definitely wouldn't trade her for anyone else's mommy. Ryan and I are taking her to lunch to celebrate. It should be a fun time. :)
Ryan and I are also going to Dallas this weekend for a friends wedding. It will be great to visit with my in-laws for a few days.
I think I'm finally out of my "funk." I'm enjoying life again... things are looking up. and up. and up. Praise the Lord.
