Good afternoon!!  The rest of the weekend did not include too many blog worthy events so I held off writing you all until now.  Saturday ended up being a little bit of a wash for me because I could not get motivated to do much.  Sunday has quickly turned into my favorite day of the week given that we have found West Bowles Community Church.  I truly get excited to go each week and always feel better when I leave.  Normally we go to the Sunday School class called Homebuilders, which is for young families, but this week it was canceled for the ministry fair.  Either way, the people are AMAZING.  We have never gone to any church where the people are so outgoing and friendly.  We both have learned a good deal and it works for our hybrid religious family too, me the Christian and Daniel the Jew.  Basically in that regard, we are blessed to both support each other in our religious beliefs and look for the common areas.  We both are open-minded and like to learn so we make it work, but a church that does not make Daniel feel extremely uncomfortable is always a bonus.  We are still working to find our Jewish home.  Hopefully we will be as fortunate in that search too.  Other than my excitement over church, it was just a regular weekend at home.

Today was my first non-work, week day and so far it has been great.  I got up when Daniel did for work and made us smoothies for breakfast and then sent him on his way with a packed lunch and warm coffee.  Yes I felt very domestic and June Clever this morning.  Then I channeled my horribly lacking Jillian Michaels and did my third trimester pregnancy workout video.  You can assume that was as fun as it sounds.  Next I reviewed my coupons and jumped in the shower to embark on that money saving adventure.  The deals were seriously exciting at King Soopers as was the trip overall.  There I was 8.5 months pregnant pushing around my cart of extreme couponing finds packed so high that I could barely see over it.  I felt a little embarrassed and pleased with myself at the same time.  There was a well-behaved, hansom young boy in the store with his mom that found the fact that I had a "baby in my belly," very interesting.  He also found my cart to be comment worthy.  Out of the mouths of babes.  Then there were the older ladies passing rather judgmental looks like why do you need 12 boxes of Kleenex.  They obviously do not have my never-ending runny nose that some say is a pregnancy symptom.  Or maybe they were unaware that here lately everyone that comes to visit is sick once they arrive, love you mom and Joey!  Anyway I saved 65%, $174 in coupon savings which combines what I pulled and the store card.  I was a very happy little mama.  Then I had just a couple items at Safeway where I saved 74% and some toilet paper from Walgreens that was not the best deal, but a necessary evil I guess.  You can see from the picture above that we are stocked up for a bit.

Now while day time television is not always great I have missed Ellen!  I love her and she has Jillian Michaels on so it is kind of fitting for my day.  After this I get to go meet Daniel for dinner because we have our Baby Safe class from 6:00-9:30pm.  We are excited to try to make ourselves more smart and prepared for our baby girl.  I will hopefully have another blog-worthy day to write about tomorrow.  It is supposed to be a little cold and lightly snowy so I don't know how many adventures I will have outdoors.  Take care all!
