It's so nice!

It's nice to have enough money to cover the bills, have a little fun, and put some away in savings! The idea of savings is my favorite because we have been living so tight for so long! Soon we will have enough saved up to have a place closer to where we work! Things finally feel like they are falling into place like they should!

So much fun!

Ok, so Caleb is LOVING being back in a truck! He has never been happier! He is in a really nice truck, and he really likes the guys he's working with. He is happy to be working, and he comes home from work happy! That's all that really matters to me.

I really like the people that I work with too! They are all so nice! I'm starting to get the hang of my job, and I'm really liking it! I will be the Account Manager for the majority of the Wide Format accounts, which means I'll be working mostly with banners and signs. Lots of materials to learn, but I will manage I think.

I hope that my dear friend Carrie won't be mad at me for sharing this story, but it made my day! Carrie is big into couponing, and is helping me learn the ropes. Anyway, she was coming around to everyone's desks asking them "Do you like milk?? Because you can get a coupon ....." and she proceeded to give the details to everyone. She was just so cheery and bubbly about it, that it just made me smile! Carrie! I adore you!

All in all, things are going pretty well for us! I'm so grateful for our many blessings! The Lord has truly blessed us with wonderful family, amazing friends, and great jobs! Our cups runneth over!

4th of July Festivities! (Warning, lots of pictures!)

Ok, so Caleb and I FINALLY took our first camping trip together in the 2 1/2 years we have been together! This trip was a lot of firsts! To start off, this was both of our first times setting up a tent. We did need a little help because of our short arms, but we got it up safely!

We went camping up on Skyline above Fairview, and we had a blast!

Caleb learned a lot more about all the toys that the guys had there, and now I am really going to be broke when we are both working! ;)
The view by our campsite was GORGEOUS! We really enjoyed it, and will be going back to this site!
We went on our first mini mud bogging trip while we were up there! We have become big fans!

Chad and Monica were with us on this trip, and they decided to get down and dirty with us!

Here's their truck!
And here is our jeep, just on the way down!


Here's how it looked when we got back!


We definately got dirty!

Friday night, Chad and Monica hit a deer on the way back up to our campsite. They had gone into town to pick up a couple of things. Here's the damage...


After we got home on Saturday, we went to lunch with Mom and Dad E. They were nice enough to kitty sit for us, and we are truly grateful!
That night, we went over to Carrie and Nate's house, and we did some fireworks and had some snacks! It was a blast!





All and all, we really had a pretty good 4th! Camping was great, and we will be going camping again soon! Hope you all had a great one too!
