Winner.

You know all of those blog giveaways you see? Well, I won one. I am super stoked. I never win anything.

Look at those odds....1 in 285. I am lucky. This is my lovely prize:

Isn't it cute! I love Posh Daisy stuff. Check out their shop on Etsy. If I had endless amounts of money to spend on jewelry, I would be getting lots of packages via Etsy.

Date Time

Today has been (yet another) perfect Saturday. Chris and I decided to go on a spontaneous date this afternoon. We went to Subway for lunch with our gift card. We love to eat at Subway.
Next, we drove down to Idaho Falls to return some things and go shopping so I could spend my birthday money. I must say, it was a very successful trip. Here are the sweet deals I scored:

If I could share one tidbit of info I would say to NEVER buy anything full price at DownEast. I saw the peach colored shirt in the store about 2 months ago for $35. I got it for $13 with an additional 30%. I love clearance sales. :)
Then we headed over to Barnes & Noble to look at some journals and to get some salted caramel hot chocolate, one of Chris' favorites. It was my first time trying it--sooo good! Get some before the Christmas season is over (Is it already the Christmas season?).
Finally, we went to Macy's (the department store) to spend a gift card we got as a wedding gift. We had fun looking through all the fun appliances. We found a hidden treasure on sale, bought it, and brought it home.

Ladies and Gentlemen, say hello to the newest edition to the John home...

We registered for a popcorn machine, but never got one...so we bought ourselves one. Here's to many bowls of warm, buttery popcorn (and equally as many gym trips to compensate). 

Saturday Goodness

So, I have been saving my allowance pretty much ever since it existed (Wow, that wasn't redundant at all...). Today was the day I got to spend it! I wanted some new shirts pretty bad...and there was a gigantic hole in my purse. I had only $35 dollars to spend, so we took a trip down to Idaho Falls so we could spend the rest of our Target gift card money and visit Ross for my allowance spending spree.
We scored at Target- there was a set of flannel sheets on sale for $20! We had been looking online and they were really pricey, so we were very grateful for this find helping us stay warm in the bitter Rexburg cold. We also bought a new pan.
Then came Ross. I am very pleased to say that Ross took my allowance a very long way. I found some amazing deals:

I found a bag that fit exactly what I wanted :)

Nude color heels (in hopes of lengthening my stubby legs)

And 2 cute shirts!

After our shopping trip we came back to Rexburg and went to the temple. It was also great! I love doing things with Chris. He really is my best friend (I type this as he makes dinner for us...I'm procrastinating some homework)
