Deals, Deals, Deals

I don't know about you, but I love getting a good deal. I have tried the coupon thing and am not very good at it. I usually forget my coupons or don't know what is on sale (base grocery stores don't send out sales fliers). So, I usually get my good deals elsewhere. This week the deal of the week was at Target. I was there with a friend and we were walking through the home section (you can find some great deals in the home section). I had decided I wanted a white comforter, so I was looking at anything white and found a down comforter on clearance. It was marked to 29.99 from 59.99. I debated and debated on whether to get it or not and just decided to go for it. When I was checking out, much to my delighted surprise, it rang up for 15.00!! I was so excited. I love it when that happens! 75% off, now that is what I am talking about!!

Thank You!

I want to thank everyone who voted in my poll. I really appreciate it and was so excited that I had 18 votes! Yeah!!! Just in case you were all wondering, the boat came in first and the sunset came in second. Those two are my favorite too, but it was nice to know that other people liked them! So thanks to everyone!!

I Need Some Help

I am taking a photography class and we had to bring in what we thought was some of our best work. I found some pictures I liked and my class decided which ones they liked. I don't know if I agree with them on which ones were the best, so I am asking you, who read my blog, which ones you think are the best. If you want to leave a comment as to why you like it, that would be helpful. If not, please take my poll. I don't mean to sound desperate, I just want to know what everyone thinks. There is a poll on the side of my blog for you to vote for your favorite. Without further ado, here they are:

(I tried to make the pictures bigger, but this is as big as I could make them without cutting the pictures off. I hope this helps!)

What an Example!

This morning I got an e-mail from a member of the Relief Society presidency asking everyone to donate items for some refugees from Haiti that are right here at McGuire AFB. It really hit home that what happened in Haiti is horrific and there are so many people who need help. The list of things was very basic: diapers, coats, toys, books. Little things for the kids who lost everything. Well, I really felt that I needed to do something, so I gathered up a couple of things like diapers and some blankets. I thought it would be a good teaching moment to ask Micole if she wanted to help. I told her there were some little kids just like her that lost all their toys and asked if she wanted to give something to the kids. She went over to one of her toy bins and found a couple of things to donate. We weren't able to take the stuff over until tonight. In the meantime, Micole ended up adding a couple of things because "Those kids need a bunny rabbit," she said. I took Micole with me to the base gym, where they are housing the refugees that came in today, and made our donation. She was so cute. She wanted to stay at the gym and play with all the kids. She did so good giving her stuff to the Air Force personnel. Micole was a huge example to me today. Disasters happen all the time and I haven't really given them much thought in the past, but being right here, less than a mile away from people who really need help, made it real to me. Let us all try and do all we can to help those in Haiti and others around us that are in need of a little service. It really will make you feel so good.
