Welcome 2014!
Well what can I say about the new year?! So much has happened. On new years eve we decided to find a church to ring in the new year. We found one down in Tempe that was advertised on KLove. When we arrived we realized that it wasn’t going to be quite as we expected. It was an Indian and Pakistani service. We were a little concerned at first seeing that we are neither Indian or Pakistani but were greeted with such joy upon our arrival. The people were so nice and they made us feel like we fit in. It was a wonderful experience. The service ran an hour over what we anticipated because of a new sound system and technical issues. We sang mostly English songs and we attempted to sing the songs that were not in English. Out of all of the churches we visited it was by far the most welcoming! We even started off the new year taking communion and greeting new faces. My eyes were truly opened by this wonderful experience and it was the perfect way to start the new year.
When we arrived home we watched the ball drop again and had Sparkling Cider and Chocolate covered Cherries. We gave one another our first kiss of the new year and then decided we should probably get to bed. The next day Jay was supposed to work.
We got up on New Years day and I sent Jay off to work. About 15 minutes later I got a call that they had approved his day off and he was coming home. It was an awesome surprise that we would get to spend the first day of the year together. We watched a little TV, I finished up my chores, and then we headed out to try and knock some of the stuff off of our registry. It was expensive but needed to be done. I completely understand why people have Baby Showers now! Everything is so pricey for little people. We already had an idea that it was going to get expensive but actually seeing it add up makes me squirm a little!!! We did have the Amazon App on hand so we could scan the bar-codes and price match. I think it saved us around $35. I recomend price matching for anyone who is buying off of their registry or just buying in general. You just scan the bar-code and if the price is lower the cashier will match it!
ONLY 7 weeks to GO!
I wouldn’t be adding it again but many of you have asked where we are registered so I have included it again below. If you click on the images it will take you directly to the registry sites:
