THE GUERREROS ARE HAVING A BABY!!!

So we finally decided to make it official. We are having a baby! Erin is in her second trimester and everything seems to be going well with the baby. We had the opportunity to hear the baby's heart beat this past week. It was a really great experience. It still does not seem real, but we just can't wait to have our baby.

We have been waiting for the first trimester to go by before telling everyone. According to our calculations our new baby should be arriving around October 18, 2008.

We don't really care if it's a boy or a girl, although we both think that our first might be a girl. We have no evidence that this would be the case, but it is really fun thinking about it. I think it would be easier to have a boy first, and then a little girl, but then again, I have never had a baby so I have no idea.

Above are two pictures of us when we were babies. Erin and I have been wondering who the baby will look like, and how dark or light she or he will be. I guess time will say, but we are pretty sure that we'll have a brown baby... or so Erin hopes :)

Saving $$$ Online

If you buy from Amazon, Target or any other online store you should check CouponCabin.com. There is a search bar in the website where you put the store or website that you are looking to buy from, if there are any current discounts or coupons it would find them for you.
I got this website form Beth, and have passed it on to some of my friends and coworkers. I have mentioned it to some, but today my boss told me that he purchased a lot of things from Amazon.com and saved about $80. Anyway, I just wanted to post it and share it. I have not purchased anything using their coupons, so I don't assume any responsabilty. Hope anyone out there could benefit from this.
Here are other websites that I have used in the past and often look to see if there are any good deals.
http://www.woot.com/ They sell one item a day until it runs out. Sometimes excellent deals.
http://www.midnightbox.com/Same concept as the one above, mostly electronics and computer related items
http://bargainjack.com Now, this one looks at the current sales and deals in the internet. You can pretty much find anything from flash drives to bedding and kitchen supplies.
http://www.retailmenot.com Type your web address and see what discounts you can get.
Alright, if anyone out there finds any of these websites usefull, or purchases something let me know.

Closed deal!

We have a car!!!
The deal is closed and we got the loan. We are very excited. We finally get to drive a four door car with an automatic engine. Erin is finally able to drive and to drop me at school when needed. That makes me very happy. Anyway, just wanted to share with everyone.

Our New Used Car...Maybe

2006 Nissan Sentra. 1.8 L Sport

This could very possibly be our "New Used" Car. We are waiting for our loan to go through, so cross your fingers for us. Erin and I really liked it. It supposedly gets 27 mpg city and 34 highway (We sure hope so) and it still has a warranty. It is not the coolest, but it sure beats driving our crashed Mustang or the "Big Old Van".

This is how our 1997' Mustang looked after the accident. We really miss her, she has been part of the family for the longest time. I had this car before I met Erin, so the Mustang was there for all of our dates and travels. She took us to Long Beach and to Erin's first visit to Disneyland. She also took us to Arcata two times and twice to Washington State, first to Seattle and then to Spokane. She has been to Las Vegas back and forth many times. I guess I see where the 178,000 miles went. She treated us well and never broke down on us. She really took care of us. She will be missed.

This is where we got hit first, it does not look as bad as the front...weird


And here is the van that we drove for a while. It is so sweet. It has mood lights inside, and a couch that folds into a bed. If it wasn't like a hundred years old it would be even better. I guess back in 1990 it was very hip and cool. It has a great pink interior with matching curtains and hook ups for TV and a VCR! It was fun driving it around BYU and around our neighborhood. I will surely miss the looks that some people around the neighborhood gave us.

Car Shopping (Used Car Shopping:)

We need a new post! I will follow up with some pictures but for right now it'll be just text. We have been car shopping this weekend. We found one we really like: an '06 Honda Accord with 30,000 miles for $13,9995. But we have decided we are going to take a little more time and do some more searching. We will probably have this car for the next 5+ years and at least 2 kids probably, maybe even 3. That's a good deal, but I think we can find an even better one. I am really excited to get a new car, and so is Gabe. He has been looking hard and doing a lot of research.
We were going to drive Gabe's high school car, a 1989 Dodge Colt, but after we got it working and registered, as we were driving it home, it sounded like it was about to die. So much for that idea! But we will post pictures of our little Colt and Mustang. They are sitting outside our house on the street.

Mely and Jeremy's Wedding

Today Mely and Jeremy got married! She will now be known as Melisa Ulibarri. It was a really low key wedding. Only our immediate family and some of my sister's friends were there. We had some really good Carne Asada, cake and much more. We are so happy that things are working out for Jeremy and Mely. Good luck in Las Vegas and don't gamble all your money. We'll see you guys soon ;0)

PS: When a man and a woman love each other... (Just Kidding)

Love Erin and Gabriel

Our Trip

Here are some of the pictures that we took in L.A and Mississippi.

Dinner with the Pack Clan

This post goes to everyone, but especially to Thom, Cyndi, Lindsay and Tommy. Here are some pictures of the family down in Mississippi and some of the great food that we had. I tried to get everybody, but we were just too many :0)

Hope you enjoy it.

Devotion

While visiting various establishments I could not help but notice the devotion that our friends from the South have. I can really appreciate how some people show that they are "true" Christians.

And I thought that being Christlike was enough...
