Hooray for husbands that bring home flowers :)




Matt and I have an uncanny nack for finding deals on large appliances. We have purchased our washer and dryer for under $200 from searching the area. When we went looking for a refrigerator for our new house, we found one we liked, then walked about 30 feet to the back of lowes where we found the exact same fridge for half! Now Matt and I have been looking for a freezer because we like finding deals and being able to freeze them in storage. Last week, we saw this one (also a discounted appliance in the back, due to a small dent in the back) and it had a price listed on it. Matt and I looked and thought we could at least make an offer. So we both agreed how much it was were spending $400 and said our limit would be $500. Matt left to go find a clerk and ask how much it was selling for (and possibly to make an offer). The clerk told him $400, so we were set! Now we have 25 cubic feet of freezer space to fill.....



A friend and I went to see Herman Cain yesterday here in College Station. He's a top contender for the Republican Nomination for President. No big deal :) He was signing his new book in town and I took this picture, then when he walked around (he was done signing books) he came within a few feet of me!

Last night was church community group that we have every week and tonight I'm took black bean salsa. yum! Community Group is where are church breaks up into small groups that meet at people's houses and eat food, fellowship, talk about the message on Sundays and pray with and for each other. I really like the way we have small groups through church. We have inter-generational groups, which means that I get to be in a small group with people of all ages -not just college, or now, young marrieds. I enjoy being with older wiser adults, families with kids, and then younger college age as well. I think its the best biblical picture of community and "living with" (fellowship) people of all ages.
