Help those that protect you

Some of you may have seen my facebook update the other day. I was on the hunt for someone who knew how I could get my expired coupons in the hands of someone that could use them. Weeks ago I had heard about a program in which you could mail your expired coupons to families on a military base to use at the commissary, which honors them up to 3 months after the expiration date. Well, I was able to find a lady that has put together a program called Coupons for Troops, ironically enough! :) I have included a link HERE if you are interested in mailing coupons to other families to help them save some money. She will email the name of a family and their address. As we know, every little bit goes a long way.

Dancing in the Rain

Well, it wasn't exactly dancing. Actually it was cheering in the rain. Yes, we were at the Clemson game and stayed the entire time. Thankfully we were prepared with rain suites so we really didn't get wet, but what a yucky feeling! Everything on your body just feels moist. Chris' hands were so wet that at one point when he was doing the "O-N" his ring flew off and bounced down 4 or 5 rows of bleachers. Thank goodness I didn't know why he had made a mad dash down a few rows. He did find it and all was good. At first I thought he was going down to tell some punk-like teenagers to behave. Although he was just getting his ring, he did manage to address the un-chaperoned teenagers at the end of the game when one thought it was a good idea to toss a full coke bottle. Chris made sure he knew in just enough words that what he did wasn't a good idea. Yeah for Chris! So many people would have just watched and then mumbled some words under their breath, but Chris handled it very well.
I took a picture of us on my new blackberry that I will try to post. Having a new blackberry is another post for another day. Let's just say, you don't have to worry about me being one of those friends that can't put it away. I don't even get it out...I can't even use it!

We are going to MD this weekend for the football game with some friends from Greenville. Chris and I have never flown together or gone out of town with another couple. I know we will have fun and I'm just so thankful how laid-back my husband is about traveling. I don't have to worry about him ruffling any feathers or being hard-headed about doing something. At some point we have all traveled with someone like that and it takes the relaxation out of the vacation.

I am looking forward to cooler weather! You?

Free (cont.)

Last night I went to get a sandwich at a nameless sub shop :) for dinner. I treated myself out for dinner since I had eaten lunch at the house. The story is that I ran in to get my sub, the guy made a HUGE sub and then...he asked me if I had cash. Cash? I never carry cash anymore. It turns out there credit card machine wasn't working and I went home with a free sub.
You may be thinking that is so cheap of me, but I promise I wouldn't have ordered the sub if I knew I had to have cash and the employee assured me he wouldn't get in trouble. After I apologized numerous times, I finally left with the free sub. At this point, it's a few minutes before 9pm, and they were closing the doors behind me or I would have run to the bank.

I definitely enjoyed it!

Free Ride

FREE: Did you know that if you complete the survey at the bottom of your Bi-lo receipt, you will be taken to a link to print a coupon for a free Bi-lo recyclable bag? Not only do you have a chance to win $250, but you can get a free bag and Bi-lo will refund you .05cents on every visit when you use your bag. These are great to use when making trips into the grocery store. I didn't realize how many plastic bags we accumulate until we started recycling them. They really add up!
RIDE: Chris will get off of work at 6am Monday morning from working this weekend. He will then ride with his mom up to VA to pick up a few little things that are still at the house, sign paperwork for closing, and then hit the road back to SC. Please pray for safe travels and strength for him to get through the day after having been up since 5pm Sunday night when he went into work. It will be a looooooong day for him. I do have a little stash of snacks for them to take.

Also...Happy Birthday to Ann, the future sister-in-law!! We hope you had a great day and a fun weekend.
