Hello, my name is Emily....

.... And I'm addicted to couponing.


Really.

Tonight I think I hit a new high.



IF I had paid full price for all of the items pictured (which I NEVER would, you know me!) I would have paid

$123.51

I DARE you to ask me how much I really paid out of pocket.....


$17.64
(feel free to picture the huge smile on my face)

That's right. I saved $105.87 or 86%.

Running Bug

Many of you know that I've started running lately. I'm still on the 5K stage, but I'm really enjoying it. I ran one in August and I'm doing another one in October. I'm hoping to do a 10K next spring/summer. I was just looking at someones blog and I found out that there is a half marathon in Disney World. How cool is that?

So, if I ever get to the point that I could or would want to run a 1/2 marathon (come on, 13 miles is really really long) I'm going to totally want to do that one.

Anyone with me?? :-)

Our little Coug

We were SO happy with the outcome of last night's BYU game - LOVED IT! We even had neighbors come over right after the game and chit chatted about it until midnight!

I remember last year on the day we brought Andrew home from the hospital - the Cougs were playing. We dressed Andrew all up in his Cougar blue. When this year rolled around - Aunt Lollie came to the rescue with some larger sized BYU gear for the little guy. My oh my! How's he's grown!!


What d'ya have?

In Athens, there are SO many homegrown restaurants - simply too many to try. Since Saturday was in all intensive purposes the beginning of College Football (yeah!) I thought it would be fun to go and have lunch at The Varsity.

The Varsity is this old place that is famous in Atlanta (and I guess Athens too.) When you place your order they first ask you "What d'ya have... What d'ya have..." You tell them your order then the cashier yells it back to the kitchen in some language you've never heard before. Something about naked dogs... onions... straws.... nevertheless, we received our order perfectly. It was a fun outing. We found out that Andrew LOVES Vanilla Milkshakes (come one, who wouldn't?) We'd give him a bit, he'd swallow it, get a BIG smile and giggle! So cute. Anyways, here are a few photos documenting our first outing as a family to The Varsity.




P.S. On another note- I think we were the only ones out in Athens with non-UGA apparel on. We were happy to show our support to our BYU Cougs! But, I think we should think twice when the team is in town. We don't want to get hurt ;-).
