My surprise of the days was I received $3.00 worth of catalinas for buying the canned fruit. :-) Taking that into consideration, the canned fruit came out to $.19 a can :-)

Unexpected surprise...

So a while ago I thought of starting a blog. I know there are TONS of blogs out there but most are aimed at families with kids. Well Jeromy and I were not planning on having children. Well a baby decided we would be a good family to join... We just found out we are pregnant on Tuesday. Not at all what we had planned, but we are slowly accepting it and now are a bit excited. I am only 5 weeks along. We have a long way to go until we reach our December 1st due date.
