I've been really doing alot of searching the web and finding the right coupon inserts to really to start saving money. Today I discovered my new favorite way of getting great coupons and just wanted to share.
EBAY!!!!!!
So far today I got 5 different coupon orders and the best thing is I paid next to nothing with FREE shipping!!! I'm a very happy lady. In my hallway closet I already have half of one shelve full of things I purchased with coupons!!! Oh and another great way to get those great coupons you love is to just write a simply letter to whatever product you have to have. Like for instance I love dove products so I just write a very short letter telling them how much I enjoy the product and just like that coupons in the mail :) Easy enough. Let the saving begin ladies!!!
Happy Coupon Hunting

Start the Countdown
How in the world is it possible that school will be starting in a month??? Xavier will be going to kindergarten this year (all day) and I'm pretty nervous, scared, dreading the drop offs and I'm just being a big baby about it! I know that's he's going to LOVE it but me not so much. it seems like such a long day, 9-3:35. Man when I went to kindergarten it was only in the am??? I think for at least the first week his world may be rocked a little but I'm sure he'll adjust well (better than me).
School shopping:
Holy cow, I went to wal-mart to pick up his list of school supplies that he needs!! It's like 500 things he needs. It has nothing to do with money but it's just crazy at the things they need that the school can't afford to supply. What happens to some of the families who really can't afford those lists in their budget??? Lets face it between new shoes, clothes and book bags that stuff adds up fast!
So be on the lookout on September 7th for a big cry baby blog cause this mommy is for sure gonna have red eyes before I even drop him off!!! :( sad face x100
My soon-to-be school boy!

Funny Story of us :)
I've been having trouble thinking of things to blog about so I decided to blog once a week about a funny story in our marriage!
First Date:
So Michael asked me out to the movies on our first date to watch Troy. I was so beyond excited and nervous and immediately went out to buy a new outfit. He called me before leaving his house for directions and I gave him pretty good directions to my house. It was almost time so I was looking out the window for him and as I was doing this he drove pass the house! About 5 seconds later he called and it went a little something like this: Michael: "hey MICHELLE I can't seem to find your house, what's the address again?" Me: ummmm.......awkward turkey....who the hell is MICHELLE???? my name is Nichole!!! he was silent pretty much the whole trip to the movies!!! I should have seen red flags going off but to this day I remember coming home and telling my mom that this IS the guy I'm going to marry!! Sure enough two weeks later he asked me to marry him!! No worries he didn't call me MICHELLE anymore but I love to tease him about it. Only Michael would do that. Other than the fact of being called the wrong name it was a perfect first date.

My Husband
He's a lean mean Army fighting machine but beneath it all he's loves this girl :)
He's my best friend and a wonderful father to our kids.
He spoils me like no other...no really I said wow we should totally buy a new truck and BAM just like new truck in the driveway!
He has very poor hearing (selective that is) but somehow he knows that little thing I told him the week before.
He goes out of his way to make me happy. Although I could use some feet rubs every now and then!
He may have called me Michelle on our first date but now a days it's nothing but sweetheart and dear.
He sleeps next to the window cause he's knows that scares me. I don't want to be the first one to get hacked if someone were to break in!
He (as we speak) is drawing up my very first tattoo design!! I'm pretty freaking excited about that one :)
He is the best husband and I'm so thankful everyday for him.

Activities
I've decided to plan one special activity a weekend for the kiddos to do. It rains here 10 months out of the year so I'm really trying to take full advantage of the gorgeous sunshine! Last weekend we took the kids to the zoo, which was fun for all of us. This weekend I have yet another fun trip planned to see more animals!
I think I may even go out of my comfort zone and let them play at a public place like chucky cheese. This will be the first time for my kids! That is a Bucci rule: no Bucci kids are allowed to play in play area like that. Hello! GERM CITY. I know kids get sick but if I can avoid it I try. So let the fun activities begin.

So my question is do any of you have any great recipes you would like to share with me?? I have a few cook books that I go by but just want something fresh. Thanks :)

Our Trip to PA
We packed up the kiddos and went home to PA for 2 wonderful weeks:) It was probably one of the best trips home! I got to meet my new nephew Jax Cameron (he looks just like me) and spend some great qt with my family. Mike and I even got to go camping alone for awhile before the boys joined us. Funny story while camping: they have a bath house where you potty and shower, on the first night I went up to use the restroom only to see a 60+ yr old lady completely butt naked at the door. It was a sight to see and I didn't want to look but wow I couldn't help myself. If your wondering yes I saw everything including her "bird"!!!! All I have to say is I'm not getting old. I've made my mind up. So here are my top 5 favorite moments of the trip
1. naked lady at bath house
2. my sister in law and I getting chased down a dirt road by a big ford truck (you don't even wanna know)
3. holding and getting to feed baby Jax
4. comparing our "old lady butts" with my sister in law
5. watching the fireworks as a family
There are a ton more awesome moments but there were my favs!
Saying goodbye :( I hate saying goodbye, but I told myself even before going home that I wasn't gonna cry.......well I didn't until I got to the plane! So sad when your 5 yr old niece is crying and holding her arm out the window saying "don't leave Aunt Mole".....talk about tearing my heart apart. Sekota cried himself asleep to the airport. He has really attached himself to all his cousins. That by far is my least favorite part about the Army but duty calls right Michael?!!
So I take all the memories and pictures from our trip and hold them tight. A year seems like forever until we see everyone again.
