After such a crappy year, as far as finances, luck, and just crappy things happening (except hunter of course!!!!!), last year 2010 just had to be a better year for us. We are only in the 11th day and I think things are starting to look better for us! I almost feel like if I talk about them it will jinx us in some kind of way but I have faith things will be good. I thought I might share some of the things going on or that have happened to us recently that has made us =)!!
1. Trip to Montana!! I know I've talked about this to anyone who wants to listen to me. We received our first package with all our release forms and such on Saturday. It was sent overnight from NE on a Saturday! These people don't play around. We are finishing up the paperwork today and I will send it back to them tomorrow via FEDEX overnight already paid for. They say we should hear something in the next 4 weeks as far as our dates but it looks like it's going to be in March! This is really soon compared to how long some of the others who have won this trip had to wait. This trip is such a blessing to us. Not to get all God-ly or anything but I always tell JJ when things are getting bad to always make sure we are doing what is right even if our situation sucks and it will always come back to us in some way. Well this is a HUGE way and we are so grateful for it! It is coming at a perfect time too, right around our anniversary! I think we may have a hard time topping this in the future!
2. This one is silly but I won a free house party from Digiorno. Now this is a website that I get emails from once in awhile and you apply to be a host for different themed parties. Well apparently I did this a few months ago and I was chosen look what we will get
•1 Party Planner Booklet
•6 DIGIORNO Host Gratuity Coupons - pizza for party day!
•15 DIGIORNO Guest Coupons
•1 Supreme Pizza Cutter
•15 Party Rally Beads
•1 Football Pot Holder
•1 Refrigerator Magnet
•Party “Believer” Stickers
I am super excited about all the coupons. We are planning on having a Super Bowl Party on Feb 7th, and guess what we will be serving! Oh how nice would it be if these were high value coupons!! I will definitely be applying for more parties in the future!!! Check out the website, seriously there are all kinds of parties. For example my sister applied for the turkey bacon party! The website is houseparty.com
3. We had the nicest surprise on our doorstep when we got home yesterday. There was a box of Huggies and a warm car seat blanket thing for Hunter. We had no idea who they were from! There was no note. Well something told me to check our answering machine and tada, it was a neighbor acquaintance of ours! Her and her little girl dropped them off at our house. She said she wanted to get us something when Hunter was born but that they were out of town and she figured people have SOOO MUCH stuff when the baby is born and it runs out eventually and then there is nothing. How nice of a surprise! I was really really grateful.
4. I am so glad I can upon the world of couponing. After such a stressful financial year last year I knew we had to make some changes. I have already saved so much money for our family and I am grateful to all the women out there who take the time and post all the deals out there to make my couponing that much easier!
5. I got another surprise on Saturday in the mail. My best friend sent me a pair of shoes. Now I know that might not sounds very exciting but I never buy anything for myself anymore and when I do I don't spend very much money. Now don't get me wrong I don't walk around wearing rags or anything but I just don't spend the kind of money I use to on stuff like clothes and shoes. So to get these amazing pair of heels in the mail from my best friend who knew how much I loved and wanted these shoes was such a nice surprise. I haven't found a reason to wear them yet but I did have them on while I did some dishes! lol
I guess the reason why I wrote about these things is because I wanted to share how truly grateful for everything I have in my life. The good the bad the ugly it doesn't matter what it is. I just always have to remember that it will get better! Here is to a great 2010!!
