www.couponchief.com - shop at home, save money!!

I currently have a desktop computer that works great, but I've been seriously looking for a laptop so I can take my work on the go. A friend told me about a great site where I could shop online and still use coupons, it's called www.couponchief.com!!
It's the best of both worlds, you can shop and compare things online but still use coupons to save yourself money.
I checked out the site myself and found out that there are online coupons for over 1,000 different stores/merchants. This worked in my favor as I was able to compare coupon deals offered from different merchants before settling on some coupon offers from Comp USA to purchase my laptop.
If you like to shop online, I highly recommend that you check out www.couponchief today to save yourself money on your next online purchase!!

relief

yesterday we finished packing up our apartment and then loaded it all into a truck. we got all of our things to fit in the backseat of my car, a 6' x 12' uhaul trailer, and the back of a pickup truck. My dady and brothers left yesterday afternoon to drive home and then arrived there early this morning. After they left we spent the afternoon (me, steph and her mom) cleaning the apartment. All we have to do now is walk through with them, turn in our keys, and then we are officially moved out of Oklahoma. Right now we are crashing at the Petersen's in between our overseas trips, it's such a blessing to have good friends!! :)

work

I finished my first major job on my own today. I've done work for people before, but this was my first big construction project, a roofing job. I tore off and then re-shingled a garage for a friend. I finished on Wednesday night and it was just in time as it rained all that night and the next morning. It went pretty well and Steph even helped me with it some. Anyway, have to run today, my dad and brothers are coming in and we need to finish packing our stuff. It all gets moved home tomorrow and then off to the Emerald Isle on Tuesday!!

the joys of moving

been a crazy couple of days since my last post. the weather here has still been very abnormal, we are getting rain almost every day and that is not usual for this time of year. I have a roofing job i've been trying to get done but keep getting rained out. I did start it on Saturday (with Steph's help) and we got drenched from the rain while we were trying to get the roof covered with tarps. Then I worked on it Sunday, helped Kent and his family pack the office and their house from 9:30am monday morning till 11:15pm (needless to say, a very long day), and then worked on the roof from 8:00am yesterday morning till 4pm (with heat indexes of around 105 to 110 degrees). Also, last night we drove down and picked up Steph's mom at the airport in Dallas, she is gonna stay the week with us and help us get our things packed up before my dad and brothers come on Saturday to help us move. things are so busy, can't wait for the Ireland trip, it will be like a little vacation!!!

busy

well, one week fom today, steph and i move all of our stuff home. it's been a busy week and things are about to get busier. I finished working for Peck Family Homes this week (that's my part-time construction job that i do sometimes) and will be finishing up working for Jeff on his farm too. I have to shingle his garage this weekend, so that should be fun (and hot!).
Steph's mom comes on Tuesday, then a week from Tuesday we leave for Ireland!! Speaking of Ireland, I'm praying for guidance in what we should do for a job. Steph and I are planning to move home, but I got an email from a Pastor in Ireland who we've worked with through SportQuest in the past, and he asked me to apply for the youth worker position at their church that is open. It throws a big wrench in the decision making process and now I'm torn about what to do. Lord give me wisdom!
Oh, and if you noticed the little icon in the corner, I've joined Payperpost.com and will be posting ads for various companies/products in my blog. Be watching for that coming soon!!

anticipation building.......

3 weeks from today and steph and i will be headed to Ireland for the first SQ trip of the summer!! Can't belive June is already here and 4 days old. Ireland will be fun, we have a small group and we are doing just a basketball camp. I cant wait to get back over there, it really is my second home! Steph and I get to go a few days early so we'll get to visit some friends and sightsee.
Also, in a few weeks we are moving our stuff home. that is really hard to imagine. alright, better get back to work.
