Ten Items or Less

Chris and I went grocery shopping this evening! YAY!!!! We have not gone grocery shopping in almost a month and a half!!! :O (Well, we did pick up some milk, and butter, and bananas and stuff every now and then, but we didn't do our monthly shopping for over a month and a half.) I love grocery shopping. Chris and I ALWAYS go together and really have fun doing it. I usually make the list and check things off as we get them (I also have a bad habit of putting extra things in the cart :]). Usually we spend about $160 dollars a month on groceries, but tonight we spent $240!!!! AHHH! We NEVER spend that much! We had to buy some cleaning supplies, body wash, face cleanser, and other stuff like that which we don't usually buy every month, so its really no big deal. Also, we have been trying to buy better quality products and not just what is cheaper. A couple months ago, Chris and I started buying a different kind of seafood everytime with do our shopping. This is pretty neat because not only do we get to eat something yummy, but we are learning new ways to prepare the seafood. Last month we bought some scallops (MY FAVORITE SEAFOOD), and this month we bought some shrimp, and MORE scallops! I can't wait to find a new recipe!

ANYWAYYYYY, we had a great shopping excursion, and lots of delish treats to last us a month!

Thanks for reading!

He's come over to the dark side!

I am a LOST fanatic, so I was incredibly excited when my hubby finally agreed to watch the first episode of the first season of Lost with me. He liked it, I think. Tonight he even asked me if we were gonna watch the second episode! Yay! I will keep everyone updated on our Lost viewings!

This and That

Chris and I have been super busy lately with both of our jobs, his bowling, my working out, praise team practice, and still leaving a little bit of time for our friends that our schedules have been jam-packed! I love that we are so active, but I get sooooo exhausted! We have been cooking significantly less since I have been working, mostly because I wanna crash when I get home. So we ate 50 piece nuggets (the first time I spelled that, I spelled it "nugger" HA HA HA), and broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, and corn. Those were pity veggies, by the way, to make me feel not-so-gulity! FYI, we did not eat all of the nuggets!

I think it's funny that I just read Megan's blog which talks about her family's dinner for tonight. I used to be such a good house-wifey. Honestly, if I could still be a house-wifey, I totally would be. I don't think God's incredible plan for women was to work in a bank. I believe I have a much deeper calling....but what can you do when you are 30k in debt from school.

I am looking forward to this weekend. This will be the first Saturday I have off from work in a long time! YAY! I hope I can just sit on my butt all weekend and watch Snapped!

A Large Price for Beauty.

Yesterday, Chris and I attended our niece's first birthday. We left the party around 6:30 pm and drove home (separately because I had gone to the party after I got out of work). We were driving down a two-lane road, and I was just overtaken by the moon. It was BEAUTIFUL! It was full and yellow! It was so amazing that I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of it with my phone. What I didn't realize, at the time, was that it is very difficult to focus on an object, take the picture and drive at the same time! I totally swerved into the oncoming lane and almost hit a car coming at me! Praise God that I saw his headlights in time. The things I do for a little bit of beauty! I looked at the picture shortly after that, and it was blurry. Crap.

The funniest thing about it all was that Chris was driving behind me the whole time, and when we got home, he was like, "Are you okay?" He saw the whole thing and thought I was crazy.

I'm so cool.
