albie's deals

I went couponing today. Albies is having a great promo. So today I spent $58 and I saved $186! I love saving money! I have been sick all week with the flu. It has been horrible. I took three days off of school. David has been really great taking care of me, and not getting sick!!

Pix and things

SO Tisha and I have been pretty quiet and we just wanted to post a few pix of what we've been up to recently :)

This is a pic of a nightstand that Tisha recently painted, she bought 2 of them last summer for $2 each, but they were kinda trashed, the paint was pealing off and they looked pretty ragged, so she got some new silver hardware, and painted them black-- they look 1 million times better now!


This is our bed- That Picture is the Black and White Sacred Grove picture that Tisha Framed herself- in a frame she got for like $1 and then Painted herself - She is so awesome! And you can see the matching Night stands.



This is the Dresser my Mom gave us when we got married, it's older than I am and it was brown and kinda worn looking, but not anymore! Now it's hip and happening, and it has the same paint and hardware as our nightstands so they look like they actually go together :)



Tisha and I decided we both love this puppy - It is a Shiba Inu, which is the smallest of the 6 breeds of Japanese dogs, it pretty much stays puppy sized it's whole life! So adowable!


This is our New Cavalier -- it's a 97, and is pretty nice for the $$ we paid for it and now we have matching cars lol


So yeah, that's pretty much it, I hope you guys are all doing good and having a great fall! - Love David and Tisha Johnson

Salesmen

Well you can tell I enjoyed my summer. I didn't spend too much time blogging! A salesman came to our door today. I have had brothers and many friends who did the whole door to door salesman thing. So I have heard how hard it is, but I still don't like door to door salesmen. I don't like to be sold. David let this guy in and was being chatty cathy with him and was going to buy magazines to furn this guy's college education (which he graduated from Berkley and wanted to go back to college) and travel fund (he wanted to visit Spain and Hawaii - sounded like more of a vacation)! So I did stepped in, and had to be the rude wife that says no! I can be Red (personality type from the Color Code book) sometimes, especially when someone is trying sell something that I don't need or want! David and I decided that we are not going to let salesmen in our house, and that if we want to help people out we can do service for family, people in our ward, or people in our community. I got pretty fired up today about this, so some venting needed to be done. - DOne.

10 for 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This summer is off to a great start! School has been out for two weeks and I am loving it. I have lost 10 pounds in the last 10 days! I was so shocked and so excited. I have never lost 10 lbs in 10 days! I attribute my weight loss to Ulitmate Frisbee and working for Chad. Ultimate has been going for about a month now. I play every Wednesday 6:30 -9:30 with my team, Team Venus! It has been so fun to get back into ultimate. Last Wednesday we were down in the 1st half we came back and won by 2 points. I assissted the winning point! (that was exciting) We play our games at Ann Morrison Park, which is a huge beautiful park next to the river. It is also really close to our apartment.
I was lucky this summer to have a job. Chad found some projects around the complex for me to do. I usually work all by myself so I listen to the IPOD. This last week I listened to all the talks that President Hugh B. Brown has given at BYU. If you have never heard him speak you are missing out! So between taking my summer credits and work I am staying pretty busy - but I not stressed.

Cool!

We got a new A/C unit! Hopefully our apartment stays cool this summer. Last summer our apartment was 90+ degrees. We are loving the "Frigidaire Air"!

Herb Garden

I started an herb garden! Provident living inspired! I have basil, tarragon, cilantro, thyme, oregano, and mint. I got the sweet shelf at a garage sale for a $1. I have found a new Saturday morning love - garage sales! I got new church heels for 25 cents - and they look brand new!

Summer TIME!

Sweetness. School is out for the summer! I was getting so excited about summer that the last couple days of school I had a hard time falling asleep. It almost felt like Christmas! This summer I am going to take some summer classes to earn some more credits. I need to sit down and make a list of my summer projects that I want to accomplish!
