PHOTO PRINTS!!!

Hey guys,
I just checked this out, reccommended by my sister, Jamie. Think it is worth a shot!!!

JAMIE WROTE:


New Online Photo Printing Site
I just registered at a new online photo printing site, www.Artscow.com. What's up with that name? It's funny. I'm a very loyal Snapfish customer but for this deal, it's worth a shot! * 400 Free Prints (50 4x6 and 50 5x7 each month for the next 4 months)* 8x8 Photo Book (20 pages) available starting May 31 and expiring Dec. 31I assume we still pay shipping on these free items. Here is the ArtsCow update I received upon registration:Since the promotion for 400 free prints & 1 free 8x8 photo book is one of the most popular and hottest deals in the market, we have received over 15,000 new registrants in the last two weeks, over 15,000 photo books and 6,000,000 free prints credits have been granted to all qualified members. Once our target of 20,000,000 free prints credits granted in these days, we will stop this aggressive marketing promotion. You can earn extra prints credits (up to 10,000 credits) by referring your friends to join us. Click here for more details.
The 8x8 Custom Cover Photo Book (including first 20 pages, additional each page $0.50), will be available around 05/31/2008. We promise that our photo book quality will be among the best three in the online market. Thank you.


I, too, have been loyal to Snapfish, and I enjoy their prices and quality prints. However, I usually print more than 500 pictures every 3 months, so any free prints I can get, I will take!!! I also like that everyone who signs up through my referral link, I will receive MORE free pictures!!! Because I just signed up through Jamie's link, she earned 200 free prints! HURRY UP, JOIN AND GET YOUR FREE PRINTS TOO!!! Use this link, and I will also get more free prints! Thanks in advance, and I hope we enjoy this new site!

Oh boy, another busy day!!! I love busy though, do not be fooled! Again, we were up early today and headed for Springfield. My aunts had a Red Hat luncheon, and I tagged along with Rowan!!! HEHE Talk about feeling YOUNG again! Okay, kidding...calm down Red Hatters! Well, anyway, we had lunch at The Crown Plaza, and it was delicious! Rowan got worn out mid way, so it was a little rough, but overall he was very well-behaved! I didn't really get to sit down and eat because I was chasing Rowan around the hotel, and it is a big hotel!

I saw my advisor from UIS, Cindy. She is such a sweetie. I told her that I was thinking about going back for my master's, and she told me to give her a call. Apparently, I can earn my master's degree without ever stepping foot in a classroom! I am just not sure we can afford any more school loan debt at this point...and without me working??? I just don't know! Also, I am not sure if I want to get it in education or English, and I have even thought about counseling! I just don't know, so I will be giving this some thought.

We did a little bit of running around town, and I went after a few deals in Springfield. The weather has been absolutely beautiful here today, so Rowan and I did a little playing outside when we got back home, which was around 4ish?

Okay, ALSO, I counter-offered on the house today. I only raised my offer by $2,000.00, so I don't think they will take it...PRAYERS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The highlight: I got to talk to Jamie today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He called this morning while I was getting ready, right when Rowan woke up...he has terrible timing, bless his heart! LOL It was brief, but hearing his voice is always nice. For the first time, including his last trip to Iraq, I heard fear in his voice. I don't ever let on that I am scared too; I just try to hold strong for him. Please pray for his safety!!! I need him to come home to us, and it is a real concern...okay, enough mushy mushy...sorry! Here are some pics from today, and one from last night in his new jams!
