April is over!

So April is over and may is almost here...I can't believe how fast time flys by! I will be 21 in less than 2 months people! I have no reason to really be excited I don't drink or gamble but I guess it's exciting that I have been alive for more than 20 years. Anyway enough about my age. I'm home sick at the moment and pretty bored...I'm trying to keep myself busy on the computer so I can get better. I'm meanwhile coughing up a lung or two.

I wanted to update everyone on how easter went this year...This was the first year Josh and I actually had an easter egg hunt. Last year my parents attempted to do one but the dogs managed to get into the eggs and eat all of the chocolate, of course they left all the money (kinda surprising) but my parents took that back and we had no easter egg hunt. Sad huh. So this year was just me and josh against keri. The hunt consisted of dad giving keri a bunch of clues as to where the eggs were, Josh wasn't very helpful in finding the eggs (he can't grasp as to why we run around the yard like crazy people to find eggs with money in it)and I was running around trying to find all of the obvious ones. Keri and Brittany both use violence to win the "big money egg" two years now I have been crippled by them and unable to find the winning egg. But I'm not mad, it's on like donky kong next year! Josh will also be ready you can be sure of that! So keri won this year. I have yet to find the money egg in my 18 years or so of looking on easter...It will happen though I just know it...even if I am the last hunter.

Snowqualmie Falls


On Sunday, I woke up expecting to work but to my surprise someone picked up my shift for me and Josh and I were able to spend the whole day together! (this is super rare since I work weekends mostly and he works days) Josh and I have been trying to be more active and we both love the outdoors. It was a beautiful day and we have been talking about going hiking. So Josh decided to take me to snowqualmie falls and climb down the mountain to the bottom to see the falls! I thought it was the perfect workout because it started out super easy just going down a 1/2 mile hill but then after we enjoyed the falls and the surroundings going back up the hill was super hard; for me anyway. hehe. It was my kind of work out because you only had one option and that was to go up the hill..... there was no giving up.Josh is in alot better shape than I expected and so I was very much alone feeling quite pathetic stopping every 50 feet or so to stop the intense burning in my legs. Overall though the whole day was very enjoyable and look forward to another challenge like that again.

NEW coupon blog!

So I have realized this blog is going to be taken over by my coupon adventures and that I needed to start a new one to keep that from happening. So if you want to follow me one coupon adventure at a time the address is....
www.coupontosave.blogspot.com 

I also have links to the real coupon queen websites if you want to take on "couponing". So in the meanwhile, I have been slacking on blogging because honestly nothing really exciting is going on with Josh or I. We are working hard, enjoying being married and best friends and looking forward to where life takes us next. Hopefully somewhere new and exciting. I'm looking for some change in my life but I'm not sure what that is going to mean quite yet.

Just a thought..

So I've just gotten home from work i'm bummed because Josh is already sleeping and I hate coming home and having no one to talk to. Especially since I wanted to do some sort of april fools joke to him. I still might wake him up to do one, but that would be kinda mean. Anyway, so lately everyone knows I am starting to get kinda crazy with coupons. I just got to thinking how worth is it to keep doing couponing and is it really saving me that much money. The way I see it relistically i'm still spending the same amount of money but i'm getting ALOT more, but somewhat alot of junk food. Josh likes it but I don't really like having it around the house. I do have enough cereal to last us a very long time and my "stockpile" is going really well. I'm still trying to figure out where to put everything. Anyway, I'm sorry my blog seems so boring. Probably because at the moment, my life is kinda boring. This is my new hobby Josh and I are trying to meet more friends because since we've gotten married it seems we have none anymore. So Josh and I are working alot since we are saving saving saving to hopefully buy a house sometime next year. (I wish) But we should have enough saved if we wanted to buy one. :) We really want to move to the eastcoast to buy a house and settle down but it's hard when our jobs and families are here so we will see, who knows what the future holds. I can't believe it's already April and Josh and I have almost been married a year. Josh purposed this time last year. It brings back good memories. I love him so much.
