A Great Site & A Lonely Anniversary
**EDIT**Hiya sweeties! Thanks so much for trying to sign up! You actually don’t need my e-mail address to sign up. I made my brother try it without it and it worked. The link below has a special thing that can track it. BUT~ if you’d like I can give you my e-mail address anyways and you can write me…hehe!
EBATES
Guess what? Andy came home in the middle of the night!! Flew back from NYC to see me but he has to go to Chicago now. It’s like he had a stopover in LA between NYC and Chicago!
Hi there! One of my favorite sites — Ebates– is having a special promo for signing up so I wanted to share.
Ebates is a site where you get a certain % back on the purchases you make at over 800 online stores (up to 25%). You first sign in and look up the store you want – just click on the link to the store and shop. That’s it! They also have coupons and deals you can use. They keep track of your purchases and periodically send you a check. I joined about 4 months ago and the total as of today says$107.44$240.99.
Here are some examples – Macy’s (4%) – Bloomingdale’s (2%) — Banana Republic (3%) — eLUXURY (3%) — Nordstrom (3%) — Overstock (4%) — Target (4%) — Magazines.com (25%) — Snapfish (10%) — Kodak Gallery (8%) — Drugstore.com (6%) — Petco (6%) — Zappos (6%) — Joann Fabric & Craft Stores (5%) — Barnes & Noble (4%) — The Container Store (4%) — Sephora (4%)
I know, I know – some people say it’s only 6% or 10% or 4% — BUT it’s so easy and there are no catches so I feel like it’s totally worthwhile. My only problem is that sometimes I forget to check first before I shop!
Anyways, if you use the link below and sign up and make a purchase through the site then you’ll get $10 and I’ll get $10! Usually it’s $5 each but until 2/14 they upped it to $10 each. If you do it then I’ll give you a big fat virtual hug and maybe you’ll hug me back once you earn some dough on this thing!
Please click me!5 YEARS
Today is our 5 year dating anniversary. Andy is traveling for work so unfortunately I’m at home alone talking about Ebates…hehe! No biggie but it would just be nice to be together. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since we first started dating – that seems like ages ago — before jobs and real responsibilities. It’s funny how so much can change in a span of 5 years yet I know that some things will never change…like how we can still stay up until the wee hours of the night and talk…or how I still get goosebumps when I see him…or how we can crack each other up by doing ridiculously silly things.
It’s really amazing to think that there’s that one person out there for you who is just so right.

Happy Anniversary, you guys are so sweet!
aww… 5 years- and you still get goosebumps when you see him? That’s really sweet! It’s crazy how time flies by like that! This April will mark our 9th year of being together. I also can’t believe how much you saved on ebates. I signed up for it years ago but I never use it. hmm… I may have to start!
Congrats to your 5 years together! You guys are too cute together. Tell Andy he’s a lucky man (but I’m sure he already knows that… hehe).
Thanks for the info on ebates. I’ll def have to sign up for this! Happy 5 years to you both!!! You guys are so cute!!

Happy anniversary!
yah i thought i could click on the link and your info would already be on there, but i guess not. i could sign up again with a different user name though. what’s ur email?? i think i had it before, but i can’t remember what it was…
that’s so nice of andy to come home in the middle of the night…see, he was thinking of you!!! hehe.
I just signed up I got $10 I hope you got $10 too…
happy 5 year anniversay
hi sweet! i can’t believe it’s been 5 years since you two started dating. amazing how quickly time flies. gold star for andy for returning back home early. comment on ur pictures…you two look younger in the present pic than the 5 years ago pic.
rebates….hmmm…do i get a cut of the friend referrals since i introduced it to you???
))
ryc: i have no idea how to put that mini’s thing on. hmmm
ryc: did you like palazzo better then the wynn? i haven’t stayed at either yet.
aaaaaaaw how sweet that he stopped off to see you. What a great hubby you have!
I signed up!
Congrats on 5 years! and that ebates thing is awesome! i will definitely check it out when i have the time.
Definitely let me know if you’re going to go on Sat! Yunbug says she wants to go too with her 2 doggies. My Mom wants to bring their dogs too but I’m not sure my Dad feels up to it. It’s a good hour and a half away for us so it’ll take a lot of convincing to get Joe to agree. He has the day off tomorrow so hopefully it’ll put him in a good agreeable mood.
aw, congrats!
you two look good together
Happy Anniversary! You are so right about finding the ONE person right for you. We are all very lucky to have found the ONE =).
congrats on 5 years!!
wat a sweet surprise that he went home in the middle of the night!!!
awwwwwwww
will sign up for ebates!
i love ur photos more…esp the photo booth!
Happy Anniversary!
Congrats on your five year anniversary! It’s so sweet that Andy came all the way home just to see u!!! =)
i just signed up and got some cookbooks! excited about the rebates!!! TWO HUNDRED POUND BEAUTY – really good! My sister also highly recommended ‘Seducing Mr. Perfect’ HAhaha
yay happy anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!! i’m so glad andy flew home just to see you, that’s so sweet!! me&hubby’s 4 year dating anniversary is coming up in a few weeks but he said we should stop celebrating the dating anniversary *hmph* since it’s just too many things at once! our dating anni is one week after v-day… so it’s my bday in mid jan, vday, then dating anni, then wedding anni in may, so i guess i see his point. hehe
and… you are going to make BANK from the referrals!! $$$$
wow! what a sweet bf! swoooooooon
Happy 5th anniversary!! And that was so sweet of your hubby to fly back for your anniversary!
i need your email too to sign up so you get $$ for it, msg me! ^^
you are too cute- still getting goosebumps when you see him!!! so sweet of andy to make a stopover like that. you guys are great!!! congrats on your anniversary! i cannot remember when we started dating… that was like over a decade ago then. hahahah man….old…..we are…
awwww HAPPY HAPPY 5th YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! ^^ your husband is sooooo sweet to have came home in the middle of the night just to see you for a little bit…i dont think there are many guys out there like dat =) awww and your doggy is soooo cute ^_^
What else can I say besides to Congratulate both of you on your aniver =) *Ehugs to you! You two looks so good together!! Yea, its amazing how couples can get along so well even after so many years. Hope there are many many more to come!! Happy Anniversary sweety!!
Have a good one!
lovely update =P you and andy are really really cute =P happy anniversary!
Yeah, my honey said no to going as well- he’s afraid the Cajon Pass will be especially dangerous if it rains hard this week. Not to mention he has to work the next morning at 6 so he’d rather rest instead of driving all day and then fighting the crowd. Pooh. I’ll definitely keep my eye out for more Dog Whisperer open calls and let you know. Maybe yunbug will get to go and will fill us in on how the event is!
And yes, hopefully we’ll get a chance to meet up in the near future! Have a wonderful weekend!
awww you’re so cute together!!! congratulations to you both!
Happy anniversary!!
my xanga buddy…i just found out that i know your cousin, julie! we go to the same church and my husband was Andrew’s youth group teacher when he was in middle school. what a small world!!
relationships are hard work! 5 years together is definitely something to be proud of.
i love your profile pix with Bella! I think I’m going to sign up with ebate too. The only bad thing is that the more money you’re getting back, the more you know you’re spending too much!
i meant to write sooner about my ob…i’ve been searching and searching for a good obgyn..and found THE best doctor!!! she’s in santa monica ( st. john’s, which is one of the best hospitals for prenatal/ob ). she’s EXCELLENT and the hospital is GREAT! ) dr. tristin bickman…if you need additional info, send me a msg~!~
Hi Thanks for the tip! I just signed up & bought something. So you should be getting somethin in your account
Thanks!
