Let the Celebration Begin.....6 Years and Counting

On the 12th of March, Tara and I will celebrate our 6th Anniversary. We decided when we were sealed that instead of purchasing gift for each other that we would purchase a timepiece. So last year we put on lay-a-way the following wall clock. It is called the Norristown by Howard Miller and now graces the entry way to our home.

As part of our anniversary celebration this year we will be having his and her mani-pedi's today at Friendly Nails at Lakeline. This evening we have reservations at the famous The Mansion at Judge's Hill which will be followed by a movie. Then next week on Wednesday we will be attending the The Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo. Our anniversary celebration will culminate with the matinee viewing of The Phantom of the Opera at Bass Concert hall.

Snow is falling all around!!!

We actually got snow today, and really quite a bit of it too. My boys were so excited they could hardly stand themselves(this is the first time they have really seen snow)....We HAD to make a snowman!!

Endowed From On High

In February my friend Christin invited me to Phoenix to go with her through the temple for the first time.....it was wonderful. Below a a few pics from the 24 hour trip that almost didn't happen thanks to the airlines.

Me outside the Mesa Temple....isn't it beautiful!

My New Addiction - Couponing

Tonight after teaching, I stopped by Randall's to pick up some Sobe Life Water Zero becuase Randall's had the water for sale: 10 for $10.

This week on what has become my two favorite blogs/website SavingwithShellie.com and Couponing101.com, they had a link to a coupon for up to $1.50 off the purchase of each Sobe water.

Go figure, 10 for 10 means $1 each, but the coupon was for $1.50, meaning you make 50cents per unit.

Well I made a few copies of the coupon (50) and headed to Randall's--and low and behold I came home with 50 bottles of Sobe Life Water and $25 dollars worth of free groceries. Go here to check if the coupon is still active.

Next up: When I take my new Kia scotter in for an oil change on Friday they are offering a free $25 for test driving a new Sorento.

So that's a quick $100 ($50 Sobe + $25 Groceries + $25 Kia test drive) this week without going out of my way.

Last but not least, the Graveyardmall.com is offering men's and women's name brand sunglasses 10 for 9.99 and 5.99 shipping. You have to pick shipping dates about two or more weeks out, but for such a bargin it is well worth the wait. Hurry fast this will not last for long.

I thought cutting coupons would be a pain, but it is actually fun and very rewarding finding new ways to spend less, save more, and stretch a buck! By the way, Tara and I started the day off by having breakfast at Denny's for free.

Much Love and Resect,

Dr. B.

Happy Baby

Handsome little Bug

Thank you Aunt Jen for letting me use this super cute outfit. My Mom says I look real CUTE in it!!

Riding the school Bus

Phoenix started Pre K at the elementary school this week. So far he loves it. He gets to ride the bus to and from school every day and I think that might be his favorite part.

A Name and a Blessing

Exodus Israel Morgan was blessed today in church by his Daddy Byron Lynn Morgan. We were thankful to have Matt Miller, Brian Barbee, Josh Hinze, Jason Steed, Mike Smith, Todd Sierer, and Gary Perente all in the circle to assist with the blessing.

I wish I could have heard Byron a little better, but I am sure it was a beautiful blessing! We are so thankful for family and good friends.

Christmas Morning 2009

Christmas Eve with the Cardens

Our awesome friends Candice and KC Carden let us invite ourselves out to their ranch for Christmas Eve. We had such a fun day. We first met them at South Side Market for some yummy BBQ and then went to their home to hang out and see the horses.

Phoenix was brave enough to take one ride with Candice but we could not convince Zion to give it a try. It was soooo cold that day but they brought the horse out anyway.

My boys are pretty much convinced that they should live on a ranch with horses and chickens now. Thanks again KC and Candice, we had a blast!!!
