We got married :)

And if you're a friend in real life, you can see photos on facebook.
We love being married. We love our little apartment and we love each other and we really really love Jesus. Life is good.

Lately I have been into couponing. I've been trying to save more than I spend at the Grocery store.
Last week at Ralphs, I spend about $13 on about $100 of food! The bug bit me.

This week I spent $45.96 on $244.85!
They are doubling coupons up to $1 off until 11/25, and a lot of things are on sale for $1.99, so it is pretty easy to get lotsa stuff for free! I got

1 Maruchan Yakisoba
5 Smart Ones
4 Uncle Ben Long Grain Rice
4 Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa
8 Green Giant Boxed Frozen Veggies
2 Cheerios
1 Apple Cheerios
1 Cinnamon Toast Crunch
3 Bisquick
3 Cake Mix
3 Frosting
1 Chex Mix
2 Fat Free Pringles
1 Refrigerated Buitoni Noodles
1 Box Butter
3 Popcorn
2 Pillsbury Grands
2 Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
2 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
2 Tropicana 50 Orange Juice
2 Tropicana 50 Blueberry Pomegranate Juice
2 Reddi Whip
2 Knudsen Sour Cream
2 Caramel Apple Dippers
1 Silk Soymilk
1 Olay Bodywash
1 Secret Deodorant
2 Scope Mouthwash
1 Colgate Total Toothpaste
1 Crest Toothpaste
2 Always Pads

And my receipt is about three miles long. It's crazy to me that some people pay $250 for all that and that I used to be one of them!! Never again! We believe our money is a gift- no more careless spending! :)

progress

It's been a nice long time since I last said anything, and I have no idea if I have even accomplished much else. Lets see...

I'm going to wear this necklace:


With a pair of vintage diamond earrings from my aunt.

I kind of want to wear these shoes:


And I am thinking of something like this for the rehearsal dinner (I already have the gray shoes)


We're honeymooning in Hawaii! We've both never been there. We're excited! and we're going to a luau and I just might eat the apple piggy because it will be my only chance to try one in a very long time.

Casey and I are having a big huge garage sale this Friday and Saturday at my house in Orange. Email me if you want the address (natalie.rich@csu.fullerton.edu)! I would love to see you and all proceeds are going to pay for our wedding!!
