Postcard extravaganza

I told you guys in a previous post that I teamed up with Amber to swap postcards.  I've since decided to join a another postcard swap, and it's called postcrossing.  All I had to do was sign up with a user name and password and then I was ready!  When I'm ready to send a postcard I click a link on their site and they send me the name, address, and country of a person to send a postcard too.  It's that simple.  Also, they send me that persons profile so I can view their likes, dislikes, and whatever else they decided to say about themselves.  Whenever you get a new persons' address, they also give you a code to write on the card so that it can become registered once they received it.  It's actually pretty cool.  I sent out my first 5 postcards (3 of which were in the USA and 2 of them to places I had never heard of).  Once they receive my postcard, they'll get on their postcrossing page and register my postcard.  After my first card is registered I'm then next in line to receive cards.

I'm so excited about getting mail again that I got on google and searched for postcards in bulk.  I bought 200 unused postcards (an assortment, of course) for $20!  You have NO idea how stoked, yes I said stoked, I was/am!

Anyway, I thought I'd share my happiness with the world!

A Day of Relaxation

Today was a very relaxing day!  Luke and I actually got out of the house (before 10 a.m.) and went places.  Yeah, I know that doesn't sound very relaxing, but wait!

We started out day out by going to Hardees for breakfast!  It's rare that we are ever out of the house in time to go anywhere for breakfast.  So, despite all the calories, this is a good thing!

After breakfast we traveled to THREE different stores to look for a case to cover my NEW cell phone.  I was due for an upgrade, so Luke took me last night to get a new one! Thanks babe!

Here's a picture of my new phone.  It's an HTC Inspire.  Apparently they're so new that the cell phone case kiosks and stores do not carry the case for it. 

After the cell phone case hunt, we took a trip to Fellows Lake.  It was so beautiful out today.  The lake sparkled like diamonds lining the the water.  It was definitely peaceful.  Here's a picture of the lake.  My camera did not do it justice. 

After we came home from the lake, I started working on postcards for the postcard swap I'm doing with Amber.  I've completed two so far, and I am so excited to work on more.  I LOVE getting mail (but, unfortunately, I never get anything but bills), so I thought that the postcard swap was a great idea that she had, and I asked to join!  Actually, if any of you lovely ladies would like to join me and send postcards (handmade, of course) back and forth, just let me know!  I'd love to get mail from you (and send some too)!!!  Sorry, I can't post pictures of the postcards, I haven't sent them to Amber yet!

After I completed the postcards Luke told me that we are now subscribed to Netflix and can now get it through our Wii.  So, in honor of that we went to the store to get some soda, ordered pizza, and watched two movies! 

So, overall, it has been a wonderful day with my one and only!  I hope everyone has had a great weekend thus far!
