Happy Cinco de Mayo! It's my birthday!

Happy Cinco de Mayo and Happy Birthday to me!

I just wanted to take a few moments away from couponing and saving! I know it’s a crime! This past year has been a roller coaster ride. The blog has tripled in size and I have been training for the past 8 months for a new position at my full-time job. My husband has also been in school for the past 12 weeks to become a police officer, which has been intense. So, while we’ve had many transitions, they’ve all been good, even though they’ve had their challenges along the way. It's been a year of transitioning for many, but God has a plan! A precious friend of mine send me a sweet e-card today and it had a verse that I loved and thought I would share! 1 Thessalonians 1:4 It is clear to us, friends, that God not only loves you very much but also has put his hand on you for something special. (MSG)

So, I just wanted to say thank you for all of my loyal readers and I wouldn’t have made it this far without you. When you send me an e-mail sharing you’re awesome savings and how much it’s helped you’re family…that’s what makes it all worth it!

I’m looking forward to another wonderful year of life with my awesome family and friends and my great blog family as well. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful husband who supports my couponing and blogging habits and 2 beautiful children that bring so much joy to my life! I also have the best friends anyone could ask for. We all love God and love our families.

I would also like to say Congratulations to a dear friend of mine who’s having a sweet baby boy! (Hopefully today on my birthday)!

So enough rambling…now go stretch your budget!
