I have been MIA on blogger this past month. Have I been extremely busy? No, not really...I have actually had lots of downtime recently. After the hospital was crazy busy the past month, the past few weeks have been laid back. I was actually called off work Friday and today...which meant 4 day weekend! Bliss! The past few weeks Ryan and I have been able to spend time with friends and family and just catch up on life. A few weekends ago we were able to spend the day at the waterpark and met our friends Lee & Leah and their little stink Sarah! Lee & Leah live about an hour and a half away from us, and we love getting to hang out when we can. Sarah was a rockstar at the waterpark and loved all the slides, she went nonstop until it was time to go!

A couple of weeks ago we also had Meloni's baby shower at work. Monogramming for little girls is soo much fun! I have spent most of my downtime in my craft room, and have been in heaven!

This was my 2nd Fourth of July I was not in Panama for our annual mission trip. Since I have started working at the hospital I have not been able to go-but I am hoping next year will be different. My mom and dad were able to go, and I know lots of seeds were planted this past week, and I am so glad they are back safely....Since my parents were out of the country, we spent Fourth of July with Ryan's family at my sister-in-laws family's lake house. We had so much fun grilling out, swimming,and boating. It was a great day to be outside and relax!



Last but not least...
Hi my name is Tiffany, and I have become a coupon junkie!!! Yes, I admit I have a couponing binder. Yes, I admit I have begun a stockpile. And yes, I admit, I wake up super early on Sunday to get the newspaper because we have a limited number since I live in the middle of nowhere. Yes, I admit I spend lots of time on the internet and going through sales ads to map out my couponing trip. Yes, I admit my sister-in-law is my couponing partner, who makes me want to coupon even more with her crazy good deals. First step to overcome an addiction is to admit you have one, right? This is definitely an addiction I won't be kicking anytime soon. ha. Couponing is a pure adrenaline rush. Crazy, I know. I have soo much fun saving money, and feel absolutely totally guilty paying full price for an item! But, I am not just buying just to buy. I am couponing practically. Ryan and I have also decided if we are saving money and just spending the extra, it is really not saving anyways-so we have begun putting the money we save on each trip to savings account. Whew. That was a spill. Well, back to work tomorrow, then off again for 3 days! I think I can make it one day! I am enjoying staying home waaaayy too much!
