Dad's here!

Today we spent roughly $6.00 - I had to buy snacks (apples, and such) for the girls after school. I hadn't anticipated on picking them up, so I didn't pick anything up on my grocery trip.

Dad's in town! he took us to dinner tonight at my work (where we get a generous discount!), it was a blast.
I always enjoy his visits, when it comes right down to it I'm a major daddy's girl at heart. I can't wait until he comes down to help me drive to New Hampshire.

Here are some pictures from our day!

We spent the better part of an hour or two attempting crosswords! I know, what an interesting bunch!! This is my Cousin, my Grandmother, My Sister and my Father.

In the midst of all the crosswords, there was a nurf gun battle, and little M with her foam sword! She say's off with Auston's head!!!

After we went to dinner dad decided we should get some ice cream! M & little M decided they were to tired to walk, so above is what it looks like when a 6 (almost 7) year old, and a 5 year old sit in a grocery cart!



That's all she wrote, folks.

Today we went out and bought the meat (that I was supposed to buy yesterday). Our total came to $20.91. This is only our second purchase of the month, and so far I am pretty proud of myself. I am also proud that the only two purchases we're alotted for, being that they were groceries. Read more about how my month of no spending is going.

My dad came for a visit from SoCal today, so my loveyy and I went to pick him up from the airport. I was pretty excited to see him. As an added bonus he filled my gas tank. Now I will have plenty of gas to get back and fourth between my house and my grandmothers, where he will be staying this weekend. Its a little bit of a drive, and I was nervouse to begin with about making the trip numerous times in one weekend. Especially since I don't work again until Monday.

On another happy financial note:
This one is in regards to our big move! As most of you know, Auston and I are moving out of state in March. However, our lease for our apartment is up January 31st, so for our last month we will be staying with my family. This just left me with one big dilemma, where were we going to keep the animals? It was looking like I was going to have to board our dog, which would have cost close to $600.00, and I had no clue where I was going to get that money from. Luckily, during a new years barbeque Auston found out about a woman who could potentially help. For Free! We are taking him out to her property this weekend for a trial run, I really hope all goes well. This would be a huge relief for us. Moving is going to be stressful enough as it is.
I am still trying to figure out what to do with the cats though... : /



I have been really bad about posting my pictures!!
Here's for the last 3 days! :

These two girls are more important to me than anything!!

I grew up swimming here. This is one of the many reasons I want to go home. These rivers are some of the most beautiful places I  have ever seen.

Ah! A baby Posum! I met this little guy in my Zoology class, junior year of high school!
