The Return to the World of Television

When we first moved to Guelph our first basement suite included tv in the utilites and then when we moved to our current place we opted not to pay for tv. So it has been a good, long period of crazy bunny ears and moving the tv all over the living room just to see if we can get CBC for the Canucks games! Rogers is having an amazing sale so we have decided to dump Bell and go with them because for just $20 more per month we can get everything with Rogers and have VIP cable, I have to say that I am pretty excited. We have been trying so hard to be wise with our money and budgeting and the fact that we have made a switch and are getting more for our dollar is rewarding. I am on this budgeting kick right now because Sam and I literally do not know where all of our money goes each month, we always have enough but I have a feeling that we could be saving more effectively if we entered everything we spent into a document. I have made the template for September and I hope it is going to show us that we have more money than we think we do. SO, here's to the return of tv, the return of the Canucks (timeshifting is going to be awesome), and to budgeting!

I'm a Newbie

So, here I am! After almost a year of reading others blogs and thinking that it was such a cool way to document my life I have decided to do it! I will strive to be a faithful blogger who shares interesting tidbits about my crazy life with my dear husband. On another note Sam and I have been designing the youth room, which is just happening now, after being at this church for a year, however I am so excited about what we are doing! The colours we are using are various shades of grey, blue and green. On two of the walls we are colour blocking squares with blue, green and light grey. Stay tuned for pictures. All this painting has given me an awful migraine and a really sore neck and back, who knew that painting was so painful. Besides the paint we are looking to build a snack bar (similar to Burnett's coffee bar on a smaller scale), which will not only have food but books. Sam and I found these really cool shelves at IKEA that can be mounted on the wall. So all in all the youth room is coming together, and I am enjoying playing designer and spending money that isn't mine!
