Funny ad...

Today we saw the most hilarious ad in the local Parker newspaper. It read: "FREE YORKSHIRE TERRIER 8-years old. Hateful little dog. Bites!" WE DIED LAUGHING! Too funny! :)

Jackson got all of his benefit info from his new gig and it looks good! I like that because it keeps my paycheck big. :) Since my job is "business professional" and they take it very seriously, I have spent a ton of cash on clothing lately. I even had to have 2 pairs of pants professionally tailored because they were too long but on too good of a sale to pass up. Where are you when I need you, S. Pete?! $23 for 2 pairs of pants- robbery if you ask me. I should learn to sew...I'll put that behind learning to be patient, learning to speak both Spanish and M. Chinese, learning to drive a manual, learning to golf and learning to do underwater basketweaving. ;)

We're really excited to head home this weekend as a part of my "baby steps to moving" plan. We get to see all of my huge family and all of Jackson's small family. I'm still bitter about my lack of ability to change my flights. I tried to leave Jackson in Indiana to hang out since work for him doesn't begin until Sept. 8th, but he refused. Lame. I'd totally stay. School starts for me on Sept. 2nd and I'm excited to see what is going to be like. I dare any of my classes to be harder than my job. Impossible. I think I have the hardest job in taxation. (ok, totally being dramatic, but this richer than rich client stuff isn't easy!)

Jackson is making an art project he saw on HGTV the other day to hang behind our bed. I'll post photos when he is finished. Does anyone have a coupon to JoAnn's? We cannot find them and need to buy fabric! We also need a few for Bed, Bath and Beyond. Many thanks to anyone who can get them our way! We hate to shop at those places without coupons- what a rip!

I hope you are all doing well. I am amazed at how many people care about my boring little life, but I really appreciate it. I miss you all like crazy as being here with just Jackson gets a little lonely at times.

God bless!

As a matter of fact I have a coupon for JoAnn at 40% a single item. No BB&B though. I will have it in my purse this weekend, I will TRY to remember to give it to you. I will anxiously await Jackson's project. You two have become very crafty!!

Love you so much! Looking so forward to seeing you this weekend. Baby steps for me too!!!!!
