SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!!

Mr O and I have been married for four months now. We are now experiencing how much everything costs with both of us together! It is just exhausting. Your have home insurance, car insurance, rent/mortgage, food, gas, bills, dog food or vet bills, and the list continues!

It really just used to be about me! I knew what money I had and what money I could spend.. well now it is a different story. Mr O and I have to take care of each other. What he doesn't have I need to help .... What I don't have I need his help. This has been a growing experience for both of us and is on going.

We can't get caught up on having nothing because we still need to live our lives! We have to enjoy going to the movies, having drinks with our friends, traveling and put our happiness first.

The plan right now is SAVE SAVE SAVE! Whatever I can put away that is what I'm going to start doing. Thank goodness bonus and raise time are next week! We could use all the help we can get.

Hope & Pray

Things happen in life that we can't control and do not know the outcome of. All we can do is hope and pray. Just remember do not take life for granted. Treat everyday as it is your last.

*LOVE*

What's Going On.....

What's going on in your life???

Things are pretty slow here in Asheville. Mr. O is working nights and I'm working days like usual so we only see each other when we roll over or I get up during my crazy sleepless nights. No plans for C-town trips for awhile. Mr O and I are so excited waiting on the birth of our new niece! Our sister-in-law is at 36 weeks so just a few more weeks to go and Alexandria Charlotte Ordan will make her entrance to the world. :)

We are still seeing snow and it is so cold here! I'm looking forward to SPRING! I want to wear jeans, a t-shirt and my rainbows! Keep thinking WARM thoughts!

Baby Shower Filled Weekend

I had a fun filled weekend of family, friends and baby stuff!! My sister-in-law had two showers this weekend to celebrate the birth of their first baby girl ... my new niece!! There is only about 4 weeks left! Amazing! I had such a great time preparing for the shower we put on Sun morning! I created my first diaper cake! I think this could be a great business adventure! :) I'm just so in love with everything baby!

The only down part of the weekend was that Jesse got hit with the 24 hour flu bug on Friday night.. gross! He finally felt like himself this afternoon around 2pm. I didn't get it thank goodness and knock on wood.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!! It was some gorgeous CAROLINA days for sure! Mr. and Mrs. O are back in AVL with our two pups! We will see what the next adventure will be!

*Charlotte*

Mr and Mrs O are finally back in C-town for a visit. We are seeing friends and family all weekend. The best part is we get to bring our dogs home after 3 weeks being without them! I have a baby shower today and tomorrow for our new niece that is on the way! I need to finish my decorations before tomorrow! Pictures will be up soon.

Side Note - Go see Dear John!!! It was so great!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today is our first Valentine's day as Mr and Mrs O! I didn't have much expectations since we haven't really been big on V-day while we dated. This year was the best! We exchanged gifts Sat night/Sun morning at 12am .... Mr. O gave me a Guess watch with a pink face and I gave him a Yankees "Jeter" jersey! We slept in and then got all dressed up in our pink and red! Bistro for lunch then drove around Asheville. We ended up at the Grove Park for drinks... two hours later we are eating sushi and finally get home!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!!

2/12/2010 *Snow*

Here we go again.... The snow started about 2pm today and it is still going! We have about 5 inches now. Lets just say I really have become that mountain snow girl instead of a beach babe! Argghhh... One day I will get out of the mountains and this freezing weather!

I'm so glad I was able to make it up our hill and into our driveway tonight... for Jesse on the other hand will probably be walking it! It is slippery out there! Be careful!

Sista!

I just got off the phone with my sister!!! I haven't spoken to her in forever! It stinks living away from my family and friends. You get to talking and realize how much you miss out on with what is going on in our lives and what you are missing. I miss Jamie so much! We had to end our convo b/c she arrived at Kevin's but we will be on again for another phone date in the morning on the way to work! Yay! Phone dates?!?!? Yes, that is what it takes to keep in touch with one another!

Hope everyone is staying warm! This wind is horrible. I need it to stop so I can sleep for more than 3 hours!

Doritos Kid Slaps Man Super Bowl Commercial 2010

My favorite super bowl commercial ever!!!! What was yours?

Super Bowl XLIV

This will be Jesse and I's 7th super bowl together! We are not with all our friends in Charlotte or other places but we decided to do our own super bowl party with hamburgers, man dip and our favorite red wine! It will just be the two of us tonight!

We aren't really pulling for either team per say but we do wish to see The Saints win over the Colts! I think I'm more excited to see all the commercials!

I hope everyone is safe and enjoys the good super bowl food and fun!

Cheers!

ATTENTION ASHEVILLE!

Here we go again.... a slippery and glitter mess out outside. This started last night and is going to be around until Saturday. I probably will be working from home most of the day instead of risking my life and car on these roads to get to work. Mr. O and I have planned to stay at home most of the weekend. Mr O's mom is also in town with us visiting. Our plan is movies and some home-cookin'! I'll post pictures later of the winter wonderland! :)
