Ehh @ Packing... Anyone wanna come do it for me? (yes, I know no one is gonna do it but still I like to throw the option out there)
Getting excited for the Missouri Trip tomorrow evening but then again i'm not cause I gotta pack all of the stuff lol. *shrugs* This is our first time celebrating one of the kiddos birthdays with Nick's family so hopefully itll be fun :D
Oh yea so my coupon guru buddy (Haha Jen <3) Read my blog and thought it was funny. Especially the coupon post... But she did put up a site on facebook that her friend does amazing coupon findings. So I added it and I was impressed. (At least I didnt have to pay 80 dollars for it right?)
Tristan just came in and said "I thought you were doing homework mommy?"... turning 4 next week and already has taken his leadership position in the house? I kind of hope he remembers that moment when I start doing that to him when he gets into the grades with homework...
Ahh I let time get away from me! Gotta go! Have a good day everyone... I shall be back! :D (gives ya time to run and hide :P)

Wednesday is not my friend!
Heya my imaginary friends :D
Today seems to be a blah day already. My Kiddos (Tristan and Kaitlynn) have decided that I am not even allowed to think about changing the channel away from Dora or Diego... Im sure my personal version of the end of the world would occur if I even picked up the remote to change the channel or browse the guide and imagine watching something else.
Oh for my coupon people... I decided to look at this website that I saw someone post on the commissarysavings facebook page and its call my coupon hunter.... I thought it'd be helpful... but you have to pay 80 dollars for 1000 coupons over 90 days... So I figured Id look at the coupons and the have a 10 cent handling fee... Looks like decent coupons but grr lol...
So life is a tad bit hectic.... Key words are "tad bit". We gotta go to Missouri this weekend to go and celebrate Tristan's 4th birthday (which is in less than a week... yay!) Which is awesome cept we can not figure out for the sake of our own lives what to get him for his birthday. Im also going to be baking his cake and what not. (on a side note Nicks mom is like a coupon Guru maybe she can teach me the ways of couponing?)
I just hit the 5th week of my two courses I am currently taking with DeVry. So far so good. I have high As in both classes which is better than I was doing with school during the deployment. (I'm shocked myself!) And starting the beginning of May Im going to be getting into my business and accounting classes hardcore! Which I am really excited for :D The only class that I am definitely not looking forward to is English. I am absolutely terribly horribly bad at English (If you couldnt tell how I write on here but keep in mind that I type with two fingers because home row key typing is a bit complicated for me haha)
Well I think I rambled enough for now I need to crack down on getting the dishes done and working on some homework and picking a role model for my paper in one of the classes... Joy... not...
Have a good day everyone... I might be back later to ramble some more of course!

Coupons?
(I warned y'all that I was a bit random!)
So I've decided to started coupon cutting... Am I the only one who can never find coupons for things that my family actually uses? Two weeks ago I actually went out and spent two dollars on the Sunday newspaper... I only saved 4.60 at the commissary with coupons. Which yea it paid for the newspaper all in itself but I was like what the heck! Like I always hear my friends saying they saved like 30 bucks and what not and I look on just dumbfounded. Ive even resorted to doing the free samples and stuff online because they often come with coupons for the product. So I sometimes feel like I'm hitting two birds with one stone because I get to try the product to see if I would even like it (definitely since its free lol) and then if I do like it I get a coupon and if I don't like the product then I find a friend who wants the coupon and give it to them. I love trying samples and "judging" them. I usually post on my facebook when I think something is horrible (Like Special K Meal Bars... most horrible thing I have ever eaten in my entire life!) But yea anyways What are some of the coupon jedi secrets? Am I just really freaking picky (which is probably the correct answer haha) Or do I need to build my coupon army for a bit before I command my siege on the Commissary? Any help is greatly appreciated because not only do I grocery shop for like an army but I tend to be an impulse buyer (I am a lot better now then I used to be... used to go in for 1 item and come out with like 100... now I go in for 1 item and come out with 6 or 7 lol! I say thats like a 93% improvement...)
Well I think I am doing a few errands with a friend today so I probably should go get my butt dressed and stuff since its 1021 :P haha I might post again later when I think of another topic to discuss. :D Have a good day everyone :D

It's me... The Blog Noob :D
Hello Everyone!
I have tried to do blogs quite a bit since I was younger. Found quite a bit of ramblings from when I was a teenager that always makes me think "Jeezmus! what the heck was I so whiny about as a kid???" Haha. I have had a couple people suggest that I starting writing again to maybe ease my stress levels. Im not expecting a whole lot of people to read it of course but still :)
Anyways My name is Aubrey. I am currently a 23 year old mother of two absolutely gorgeous kiddos. I am married to my Army sweetheart (my version of high school sweetheart since we were both enlisted when we started dating). I have a dog and a cat also. About 6 months ago we PCSed (Permanent Change of Station for the non military) here to good old Fort Riley, Kansas. I never in a million years thought that I would ever move to Kansas but it seems to be pretty nice. I have not had any issues or drama or anything. Life is pretty good.
Yea so... hmm... Forgive me if I am coming off a bit boring I am still getting used to the blogging thing. Plus I am like an acquired taste... to some people I am a fantastic asset and to others they could care less :) haha I will let you decide.
I know this may be a stupid question but where is a good place to start? I do not know how to go about blogging and am open to suggestions lol... My mind tends to wander and I may talk about random things but *shrugs* its worth a shot...
Well I am off to bed I guess. I will fiddle with this some more tomorrow. Night everyone. Sweet Dreams
Best Wishes,
Aubrey
