Shopping like Thieves!

This little Blog of mine should definitely not become a couponing blog, but I don't want to forget what happened yesterday!
When I started this whole couponing thing I was excited about saving a few dollars here and there, then, after a few weeks I became even more excited about scoring free toothpaste and other items at the grocery store every once in a while, but I would've never imagined to walk out of the store with two bags of groceries and more money in my pocket than I came with. 
Yes, that's right, the store paid me to take their groceries. Can you believe it? Because I still can't!
We took $25 worth of groceries and got $1.06 cash back! We kinda felt like thieves when we left the store...no one folowing us?...no?...okay then...I guess we're good!

Mein kleiner Blog soll auf keinen Fall zu einem Couponing Blog werden, aber ich will nicht vergessen, was gestern passiert ist!

Als ich anfing Coupons zu benutzen, habe ich mich gefreut, hier und da ein paar Dollar sparen zu koennen, dann, nach ein paar Wochen habe ich mich noch mehr gefreut, als ich ab und an mal umsonst Zahnpasta und andere Dinge im Supermarkt bekommen habe, aber ich haette mir nie vorstellen koennenmit zwei Einkaufstüten und mehr Geld in der Tasche als ich beim reingehen hatte, den Supermarkt zu verlassen.
Ja, ihr habt richtig gelesen, das Geschäft hat mich dafuer bezahlt, dass ich ihre Lebensmittel mit nach Hause nehme. Koennt ihr das glauben? Denn ich kann es immer noch nicht fassen!
Wir haben Lebensmittel im Wert von $25 mitgenommen und bekamen $1,06 noch dazu! Wir kamen uns wie Diebe vor, als wir den Supermarkt verliessen...laeuft uns auch niemand hinterher?...nein?...ok, dann ist das anscheinend in Ordnung!



And this is what we got: 6 bags of pasta, two yoghurts, two nesquiks and two chex mix!
It was REALLY hard not to do my little "happy dance" in front of the cashier! 
(But be assured that I did it in the parking lot:))

Und hier ist unsere Ausbeute: 6 Pakete Nudeln, zwei Joghurts, zwei Nesquiks und zwei Chex Mix!

Es war nicht einfach, meinen kleinen Freudentanz nicht direkt vor der Kassierin zu machen

(Aber ihr koennt euch darauf verlassen, dass ich ihn auf dem Parkplatz nachgeholt habe:))

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
