Week 28: Happy Anniversary to Us! :)

This week, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary. Yes, a plague on all your houses who forgot...but I forgive you. We haven't actually celebrated yet - we are going out to a nice dinner tonight since our actual anniversary was on Tuesday and it's just more fun to go out when Ryan hasn't been busting his butt all day at work beforehand and doesn't have to get up at 4:30am the next morning. I don't know where we are going yet but I think I know we are going somewhere in downtown Littleton which is the cutest downtown I've ever seen in my life. Very sweet date spot.

We got a little more snow this week. About 6 inches or so. Of course, it's all going to melt today I'm sure since we are sunny and in the 50s. Can't say the same for our north-facing neighbors...they'll have snow in their yards until July.

Some ladies from church are going to be coming over a week from today for a "Couponing Class". People are always asking me how I do it so I'm having them over to teach them. Haha. Take that Southern Savers lady! I still maintain my coupon blog and hope to make at least $1.00 from it this month :). Also, interesting factoid for all your coupon skeptics out there, according to my calculations I saved over $2600 in 2011 from couponing and strategic sale-finding. Are you a believer now?

We got a big bag of hand-me-down toys from one of Ryan's customers. We picked through it all and (although it was hard to say no to the bright pink and purple rolling horse) we chose a Tonka truck, a lego-esque type thing where you build bridges and it has a track for cars, and this super annoying mail box that talks and sings when you put "mail" in or put the flag up, among other things. We're thinking Lil Monty won't know the difference if we just go ahead and take those batteries right out. Aside from it's so-irritating-you-want-to-stick-a-Qtip-too-far-into-your-ear-too-many-times songs, it's a cute little toy. We were amused by it for at least 10 minutes last night discovering all it's little tricks.

I also had another doctor's appointment yesterday. Went well. No news. We are now on a schedule to go every two weeks until maybe week 36?? and then we'll go every week until Lil Monty decides to join the party outside of my body. As usual, we heard his heartbeat. I think she said it was around 136bpm so it's getting slower which I guess is normal and my midwife is very pleased with our progress.

Here are the pictures. And yes, I know I look like I belong in Santa's workshop with my choice of outfit colors. I was tired and I didn't feel like changing! Even though I look like I just rolled out of bed, I believe I was about to get into it.
