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.

splitting headache
I took some "rapid release tylenol"... but I must admit, that I'm super impatient... and its "rapidness" is in slow motion right now.
On the other hand, I had a great weekend. My sister Becky took me to get a pedicure on Friday afternoon. I undoubtedly chose THE brightest orange colored polish. My toes like glow in the dark. =] It's pretty rad.
Friday was dad's birthday. The big 54. The family pitched in for the tv, and mom and I also got him a pair of shorts and a plaid shirt. We had chinese for dinner, and I baked him a brownie cake for dessert. It was pretty tasty.
Ryan got back from his grandparents' house in Brady yesterday afternoon and we went with my parents out to Lake Nasworthy to watch fireworks. We were in a pretty secluded spot so we fortunately didn't have to deal with too many strangers. The show didn't start until 9:30 and we got there a little after 7 so we just walked around and took lots of pictures. The show itself was pretty spectacular. We were impressed. =]
Ryan went to church with me this morning. One of my dearest friends, Cortnee and her family are sending off their eldest, Coleman, to the navy tomorrow morning. His basic training will be in Chicago. The church went up to the front to say our goodbyes after the service. Lots of tears were shed.... I think my mom was crying harder than his though, hahaha.
After church we had a barbecue in the courtyard. Lots of hamburgers and hot dogs.... and water guns. I thankfully avoided the latter.
Ryan went to work at 3, and I took a nice long nap. =]
I surprised him at work this evening with a bag of skittles and a Starbucks frappucino. He was grateful. <3
I am now watching Love Actually for the first time in my life... and am disappointed in the unnecessary nudity. Other than those few awkward scenes, it is a nice film.
