Please!

It's amazing to us how fast words are coming to Abigail.  It's as if she picks them up overnight!  We figured we might as well teach her how to be polite at the same time.

Jeremy & Meredith Sitting in a Tree

Wow, June has come and gone so quickly!  Now we're in the middle of July and the 100 degree heat here in Raleigh.  This past weekend we attended Jeremy and Meredith's wedding.  Both are dear people in our church that have been with us from very close to the beginning.  It has been incredibly sweet to see how their relationship has taken off.  Here are some pictures from the wedding.  And finally an updated picture of Matt and me...I guess we don't take them too often.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Kushner!

My dear friend, Angie...we match :)

Ryan and Christi came in town to visit...love them!

Lauren and Rachel, pretty in blue

Frugal Friday: Birthday Freebies!

June 2-9 is appropriately named Birthday Freebie Extravaganza Week at the Schoolfield household.  See, my birthday is one week before Matt's, and we take advantage of all the birthday freebies that are out there.  And there are a ton!  Restaurants and businesses are so generous, and all it takes is just signing up on their webpages.  I think Matt was a bit skeptical of it all, but I signed him up anway and he loves it just as much as I do now.  Just a tip, you can sign up for a separate email address for stuff like this so that you don't get junk in your personal email.  Just this past month, this is what I received for free just for being born :)

- Entree at Noodles & Company
- Burrito at Moe's
- Hamburger at Red Robin
- Ice cream at Baskin Robbins
- Ice cream at Coldstone
- Julius drink at Orange Julius
- Drink of my choice at Starbucks
- Coffee/tea at Borders
- $5 gift certificate at DSW (I ended up getting free socks...exciting, I know)
- $10 gift certificate at World Market (Got a canister for bread flour and Nutella...love that stuff)
- Birthday Gift at Sephora (ended up being a cute set of mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow)

Collin, over at Hip2Save has an EXTENSIVE list of birthday freebies.  Click here to see it.  Try it out, cause it certainly makes your birthday even more exciting!

Matt's 30th Birthday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Matt's 30th birthday last week.  Amazingly fun surpriser, I am not, but I wanted to surprise Matt with special visitors to help him celebrate.

Ding dong...Surprise!  It's Matt's mom, dad, and Shelby (our niece) who drove from Tallahassee to spend a few days with us.  Matt was thoroughly shocked!

We had a fun time going to the outlet mall in Smithfield...

 

But it sure made for a long day!

A relaxing time was had by all.  The guys later kicked my mother-in-law off the couch because they said there was not enough room.  Not very nice, guys.

Happy #30, Matt!  Don't look so thrilled.

Here, maybe this will put a smile on your face :)

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband!
