Find of the week

Anyone who knows me likely knows that I am an internet junkie. Because I spend so much time surfing the net I tend to find a lot of cool things, so I thought I'd start passing them along to all of you.

Ebates
This is probably my favorite, and the timing is perfect with the holiday shopping season and all. Ebates actually sends you monet for shopping. Just go to www.ebates.com and create an account. Anytime you make an online purchase (which is pretty often if you're anything like me!) go to Ebates first. Ebates links to tons of stores and every time you use Ebates to make a purchase a percentage of that amount is added to your Ebates account. Ebates sends you a check every few months, given that you have earned more than $5 in the last payment cycle. Pretty cool, right? You can also find tons of online sales/free shipping codes on Ebates.

If you decide to use Ebates you can use me asa referral, heatherchelle02@hotmail.com

You're welcome

Watch this. Trust me you'll thank me later.

The latest on Audrey

We let Audrey sleep in the bedroom with us for the first time this past weekend. We'd tried before, but she was just too excitable and ran around in circles, jumping on and off the bed. This past Friday I had been cleaning the bedroom while Audrey was outside on her tie-out. Since both cats had manged to sneak in I left the bedroom door open after I came back out in to the living room and let Audrey in. After a while I realized Audrey had disappeared and I found her lounging on her bed. I convinced Clint she'd be calm enough to sleep with us, and although he didn't believe me we gave it a try. The good news? She didn't leave the bed all night. The bad news? She didn't leave the bed all night! It made for very awkward sleeping, but I guess it helps my case when I argue for a king size bed. I tried making her a little bed on the floor, but she wants no part of it. Of course, she has no actual bed these days as she outgrew the one she had as a puppy and has destroyed every bed since. I'd love to get her a new bed for Christmas, but I don't want to spen the money if she won't sleep on it. We'll see.

Updates

I've been meaning to update this for a while now. I wish I could say I have a good excuse, but really I just haven't gotten around to it.

Since my last post, I started a job as the Lead Toddler Teacher at a daycare in West Lafayette. The kids were adorable, but it was exhausting. There were also a lot of aspects of the job that left me really frustrated. More recently, I was offered a position with Wabash Valley Hospital as a Case Manager for their outpatient program, which I accepted. I'll be starting on November 17. Halloween was my last day at the daycare and while I'm excited to finally have my first "professional" job, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a little bittersweet. I already miss the kids, in fact I cried my whole way home. I can always stop by to visit though, and I have to go back in a couple of weeks to pick up my last check, so I will get to peek in on them. In the meantime, I am looking forward to my new job, AND getting to shop for a work wardrobe! Clint, not so much on that last part.

As for Clint, he's back to his evening classes and still working for Long Electric. Those of you who have are lucky enough to have been graced by Audrey's presence will be happy to know that she has calmed down tremendously. We could see a distinct change in her when we picked her up from the kennel the day after the wedding and she's been holding strong ever since. We are extremely grateful for this, especially given the fact that she now weighs a hearty 72 pounds!

Back to the grind

Well, today is Clint's first day back to work since the wedding. That makes today my first official day as a job-hunting housewife. Hopefully I find something new, not that I mind being at home of course. We could definitely use the money though, plus I really hate the job search process, so the less time I spend doing this the better.

We tried to make the most of yesterday. We took Audrey to the dog park. She had a blast playing with two boxers there. She was completely worn out by the time we left for home. Last night we went to dinner at McGraw's. We had a nice table with a view of the water. Too bad it stays light so late this time of year. I think the view would have been better had we not been able to see how filthy the Wabash is!

I posted some new pictures to the gallery this morning:

But for now here are a few recent pictures we took.

At breakfast Sunday morning. A HUGE thank you to my Uncle Russ and Aunt Margie for reserving the hotel room.

This is us at dinner last night, with a perfect view of the filthy water.

When we got home I said, "Take a picture of my dress!"

And finally, us after we got home from dinner.

And the winner is...

Marty Coppock! Clint's cousin and the mother of Sebastian, our ring bearer. Thank you Marty for being the first one to send us pictures.

Here is the link to the online gallery I set up:

We all have to start somewhere

Well, we spent the past two years planning a wedding, the last two months wishing it was over already, and the past two days thinking that it ended too soon!

Thank you to everyone who was a part of our special day. We are overwhelmed by all the love and support received on Saturday. It makes us wish we could get married everyday! Well, on second thought that might be a little extreme! We hope that everyone had a wonderful time. We know that we did thank to all of you!

The wedding gave us a great opportunity to catch up with all the people we love, but just don't see as often as we'd like. It inspired us to start a blog, that way everyone can stay updated on what's going on in our life together. All of you tech-savvy folks out there are well-aware of how popular blogs have become recently.

Now, I have to confess this blog has given me a great opportunity to make a request of all of you. We have yet to see any pictures from the wedding, so please, please, please email any pictures you might have. I'll take ANYTHING. I'm dying here! I'll take all the pictures I get and create an online album so everyone can view them, and I'll be sure to give credit where credit was due.

Email any pictures to mrsflynn2008@yahoo.com or my regular old hotmail address if you have it. I will be eternally grateful to the first person to get some pictures to me.

Likewise, as soon as soon as our photographer, the fabulous Lindsay Wilson, makes our photos available to me I'll be sure to post the link here for all of you.

Thank you all again, we love you! Now, where are those pictures?!
