Go USA!!!!

Eric and I have been looking forward to the Olympics for quite some time and unfortunately with our busy schedules we have not been able to watch it as much as we would like to. Well, last night around 11pm we finally got in bed and were both about to fall asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow. We had the t.v. still on and noticed that the men's 400m free style relay was about to begin. So, with one eye open we decided to watch. With in no time we were both sitting straight up and yelling, " faster, faster", "Beat those Frenchmen!". By the end of the race Eric and I were literally standing on top of the bed giving each other high fives as the USA team won another gold medal!!!! It was the best swimming race I have ever seen!!!!It was amazing how fast Eric and I woke up to cheer for our country.

After that we turned off the t.v. and it took Eric no time at all to begin snoring in my ear and it took me forever to calm down and fall asleep!

Go Team USA!!!!!

It pays to be a little OCD!!!

I have gotten used to people making fun of me for wanting to have my checkbook balanced to the penny, but I am so thankfully that I am obsessed with doing this becauase it has paid off...literally!!!! Eric and I used to use our debit card for everything and about two or three times I found that the online banking had made a mistake, so from then on I have been very concerned about making sure that my registry matched up with the online banking. Well, recently Eric and I decided to start using our credit card as our debit card to earn points for airline tickets. I began keeping record of everything we purchased on the credit card just as I would the debit card. I sat down the night before last to balance everything and something just wasn't working out. I worked on it for about 2 hours and became so frustrated that I decided to put it aside and let Eric take a look at it tomorrow. So last night he sat down and found out that the credit card balance on the internet was charging us about $25 more dollars than I had recorded and $25 more dollars than their list of transactions that were posted added up to. Eric called the credit card company at 5:30pm to find out what was going on and at 7:30pm he and the supervisor of the company came to the conclusion that it was a computer error. So after much frustration we earned a $40 credit because of their "error".

This goes to show that you should not always just rely on what the computer says, because they can make mistakes too! Had Eric and I not noticed this error we would have been paying $25 more dollars than we needed to and I doubt we would have ever seen that money again. Who knows how much "extra" money we have been giving the credit card for the past couple of years.

Here we go....

Okay, so I always thought that we wouldn't start one of these blog thingys until we had kids, but I came home tonight from walking with the dog and Eric had started one, so here we go:) So, tonight Sadie and I are enjoying a nice walk around the neighborhood and all of a sudden I noticed these three little boys, somewhere between 5 and 7 years old,  in the wooded area in between two houses. One was obviously being held hostage against a tree while the other held his blue, plastic, water gun against his chest. I am assuming the third was the ring leader instructing them on what to do next. All of this is happening with their backs facing me. Well, apparently they all needed a break because the gun went on the ground, the hostage was released and down went the zippers to their shorts and they began marking their territory on the tree. I thought I was going to die laughing. I guess they heard me snicker because one turned around and they all started laughing like little girls. It is moments like these that I sometime feel the Lord telling me...."Megan, one day I am going to bless you with ALL boys." Oh dear!!!
