Sincola the Kitty Kat

Here are a few more videos of Sincola. She is so good at entertaining us!!

A whole new meaning for "Don't let the cat out of the bag."

These last few are just Sincola playing with feathers.




This last one is Sincola playing with Jeffery's contact case. Who knew that could be so fun?

Kitty Kat Videos

Here are a few videos for those of you who have not met our cat yet. Her name is Sincola and she is really cute.

Sincola loves to chase the feathers. No matter how sleepy she is, she knows when someone has picked up the feather toy and she will follow you around until you put it down.

This is Sincola during bathtime. I have never seen a cat that looks so awkward. I mean I knew cats were flexible, but that's ridiculus. I have a feeling that if she had a tail, she wouldn't be able to do that.

Another one of her bathing.

Valentine's Day

So many people celebrate this day by spending money and giving gifts. In the past, I have not had good experiences with Valentine's Day so Jeff and I decided to not do anything special and not give each other gifts. Our day started with us getting up fairly early for a Sunday morning. I cooked some cinnamon rolls that I had bought at an awesome price using coupons since that is my new thing. So breakfast took ten minutes to make and only cost us $1!! We then set out for church. Our church is doing this awesome thing called The Radical Experiment where as a church we are reading through the entire bible in one year. We are given a reading guide to follow that assigns a few chapters a day for six days and we get Sunday's off. So this week we are starting on Exodus. The title of the sermon was Blood that Satisfies which goes along great with it being Valentine's Day. Usually, I would have suggested that we go out to eat for lunch or dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day, but instead we just cooked a pork roast in the crock pot so there wasn't much work for the meal (no work for me :)).When we got home from church, Jeff served us some of that awesome pot roast and since we are a little behind on our daily readings, we read ten chapters from Exodus. I love reading the bible together with Jeff. First off, I have never read the entire bible so I just love this whole experience so far. Second, Jeff has such good understanding and knowledge of the bible that he is so helpful when I don't understand. I really love discussing as we read through the bible. Both of us get so much out of it and it really helps our relationship as a couple as well. Like I said to start, so many people base the success of their Valentine's Day off of how much they got from their significant other or how fancy of a restaurant they went to. This totally goes against the point of the day and that is to spend time with the one you love and show them that you care. I have to say that this simple day of spending time with my husband and just reading the bible has made it the best Valentine's Day I have ever had.

My First Couponing Adventure

I was so excited about my first time couponing that I felt the need to share the awesomeness of my experience. The whole idea of couponing is combining manufacturer and store coupons to get the best deals. I cannot take the credit for planning all of this out as I had help from http://thekrazycouponlady.com and my good friend Rachel. Both Rachel and I are new at the couponing business, but she definitely has a better grasp on how to make it all work out. We did four separate transactions to get the best of our money. So here is the run-down of what we did.
Total Before Coupons: $101.36
Total After Coupons: $43.97
Total Rebates: $54.00
Notice that the rebates were more than the total I spent. I actually made money by shopping today. Now I'd say that's one of the coolest jobs ever. All of the purchased items today were from Proctor and Gamble and so we were able to earn a coupon book with $100 worth of coupons to use another day!! Below is a picture of the goodies I got today!
