Summer is Over

To contact:shannonoverman@hotmail.com

Well, Summer is finally over and we have so much to be thankful for.  Brian started a great new job this week and he loves it. He has to travel further but its all worth it. We have now gotten back in the habit to packing breakfast and lunch to help control the extra cost of gas.
 On Sunday, Lilly will be 5 months old. Its very hard to believe how much she has changed. She has such a big personality for such a small little girl. Needless to say she has found a favorite cashier at our local Walgreen's. She now thinks its funny to kick the coupon book but she will hold on to the coupon envelope for small trips.
Friday was a busy day for with a doctor's appointment and our big grocery trip of the month. We took a detour to drop off our recycling at PepsiCo Dream Machine in front of Rite Aid. Its a great way to help the environment and earn points. To learn more check out www.greenopolis.com. I also thought it would be great to pick up some extra gifts for the care packages for our family. Rite Aid has lunchbox kits and thermos on sale for 50%off. For every 2 that you purchased you received $5 +Up reward. I bought 2 (at2.99) and paid out of pocket $6.38 and received $5+up reward. I got 2 more and used the up reward and paid only tax and received another $5+up reward.
I was thrilled about this and went to leave and an elderly woman fell in front of the store. I try to be prepared in every situation and luckily I had a first aid kit in the car. Lilly and I waited with the woman until the paramedics arrived. I wasn't able to do much but try to bandage her up and put one of Lilly's blankets behind her head. Once helped arrived we left her in the hands of someone that could help her. We both prayed for speedy recovery.
