Couponing

I have always been all into the coupons since I have worked at CVS and have seen first hand how much money you can save using coupons. At CVS it really only helps you with cleaning and beauty products. (I have like 47 thousand razors hahah)

My Cousin Meagan has just recently started a new blog (which is awesome)

You can check it out here : http://frugalfunandfortune.blogspot.com/

 

Now, All Georgians are about the think i am crazy and I thought it was crazy a few weeks ago but… Publix is the bomb.com place to shop for couponing deals. I have always been a stickler to Kroger since Publix always had much higher prices on items.  My cousins pictures week to week of her deals made me actually try to give Publix a chance.

Graduation

I just noticed that i never posted about my graduation back in May. The wedding took over most our blog posts, so i thought since we have been slacking in our postings lately i would update from that day.

I am actually the 1st on my Grandmothers side to graduate from College. Which is actually really cool.

It was actually a really nice day in the Sanford Stadium. There was cloud cover all morning so we didn’t burn up the whole time. It did get long towards the end and i kept getting text from my sibings asking “WHEN WILL THIS BE OVER”

 

My dad was extra excited because he graduated from UGA as well as his two sisters. We have a family of bulldog alums on the Sears side of the family. I love my parents sporting their red and black!

 

Here is Keith and I on the big day!

 

 

GOOOOOOO DAWGS SICK’UM!!!!

Sadie says Hello!

Keith’s new adventure

 

After 2 years of CVS, God has provided Keith a job with LifeWay Christian bookstores. He begins on Monday and we are SOOOO excited. The over nights have been really hard and Keith has been trying to be patient and wait on God’s direction and guidance.

Yea Keithy and Praise to God for providing for us.

Journey Baptisms

 

This past Sunday we had a Fall Festival at our church. The niht included great home cooking, fun games ( including BINGO and a cake walk) and face painting and balloon animals ( by yours truly). Keith also dj’d the event. 

 

 

 

 

 

The main even of the night however was the baptisms. 12 people decided to be baptized. 8 were this past Sunday and 4 will be tomorrow at church. Keith had the opportunity to Baptize 6 of the students in his youth group. 4 of them had given their life to Christ in the past and were ready to show the church friends and family their commitment to Christ. 2 of them gave their lives to Christ this summer at camp.

Chad made us a baptismal since the floods of 09’ moved our party inside of Journey instead of outside at the lake. Chad is so crafty!

It was such a blessing to get to watch Keith baptize his youth. He had great words of encouragement for each of them. Pray for these students as they continue to strengthen their walk with the Lord over the up coming year, and through the rest of their lives.

Praise to God for such an awesome event.

Keith and his youth that were baptized. Brittney, Andrew, Katie, Corrin, and Brian.
