Clark Howard would be proud....

Scott and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary this weekend with a night in Virginia Beach. It was so strange to travel without children in the car. We missed them...but it was nice. But I have to share about how cheap we are...I mean that in the best way. We just love to save money.
When we arrived at the hotel, it was too early to check in, so we planned to go to eat and enjoy the beach. While we were in the lobby, the concierge approached us with coupons and va beach guides and told us about a special that they were doing at the hotel. If we sat through their 90 minute time share presentation, we would receive a three night stay in one of their resorts in VA Beach plus $50 to use this weekend at a list of over 100 different places at the beach. And since we hadn't eaten lunch yet, they paid for our lunch at the restaurant on the beach across from the hotel. Yeah, I know, it was our anniversary and we sat through a time share presentation and used coupons for our meal, but it was worth it. Now we have another vacation to look forward to with the boys. But the most ironic thing was the fact that 5 years ago we were also sitting in on a time share presentation in Orlando to get free tickets to the parks. We really like to get free things!


On the beach!


We rented a surrey and were worn out after a couple hours of biking!

It has been a wonderful 5 years! I am married to an amazing man. He is my best friend and it is so awesome how God designed us to be made for each other. I feel so blessed to get to spend the rest of my life with him!
