Happy 4th birthday T.G.!

I can’t believe T.G. is 4 years old! Time just seems to pass
more and more quickly, especially as my children age. I remember when I found
out I was having a girl- I was so excited! I never could have imagined how
blessed I would be when God placed you in our family!
T.G., you are such a little princess, dainty and frilly in
every way. You make me smile because you are the complete opposite of me: you
adore wearing dresses, you LOVE to wear hair bows, and you absolutely refuse to
leave the house without accessorizing with jewelry! Pink, of course, is your
favorite color and according to you, one can never wear too much of it! You are
a whiz at putting puzzles together and the more pieces there are, the more you
enjoy doing them. You are great with Taylor Ann (your relationship with Teagan
is another story!) and I am thankful you enjoy helping me out by “babysitting”
her. It is obvious she loves you just as much as you love her. You adore your
big brothers and have fun partaking in different activities with each of them.
You love to catch bugs and other critters with Th, and getting into mischief
with Ta is also a fun pastime for you. As Teagan is getting older you are
becoming more involved with her, too. I love it when the two of you play with
your baby dolls, dressed up for your roles as “Mommy” to Chilly, Sarah, Brown
Baby, Grace, and Elizabeth, in addition to all the other un-named dolls we have. 
 
In spite of all of the above reasons as to why I am thankful
for you, my number one reason is because you have a desire to please God above
anyone else. My prayer for you, my beloved daughter, is that you would always
have that desire and live your life in service to Him. You don’t have a
personal relationship with Jesus yet, but by God’s grace you will one day
(hopefully soon).
Stats:
Age: 4
Height: 37 inches
Weight: 30 pounds
*Lord, thank you for this precious gift, my daughter T.G. I love her so much!

Couponing

As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle.  We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...

{Updated Blog List}

I updated my blog list to include some blogs that I have been following for a while but weren't linked. I also removed some of the links to blogs that were no longer being updated. I may add some more to my list, time permitting. This clean-up/update has been long overdue! :)
