I am bummed....

As the title says I am bummed. After much discussion and prayer we have decided to move back to Mesa, Arizona. The plan was to stay in GA until Mid-March, April and then move to Paducah, well due to some disagreements with the people we live with we decided that its in everyone's best interest to move back to Tim's home. Now I hope nobody gets offended. I miss my brother and sister-in laws and especially all my nieces and nephews and Tim's mom and dad who are pretty much the most amazing people you will meet. I just want so badly to be able to take care of my grandmother and it pretty much breaks my heart that we are not going to be able to. I cry a lot which upsets Tim, so Tim is sad. So now I try not to cry. We have 26 hours in the car ahead of us tomorrow. We are leaving at 4 am eastern standard time. We are hoping to make it there by Sunday night. But we are not giving a time frame. We learned from our last excursion that things do happen and we don't want to worry people. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers....
As always love
Tim and Jess

It's the most wonderful time of year

Well Tim and I have had a very interesting Christmas season. Being away from Tim's family was incredible difficult. We both missed them bunches, especially all the kiddos. We decided to go up and spend the weekend with my grandma because she was going to be alone. So we left Christmas Eve when Tim got off work. About an hour or so into the trip and friend texted to let me know that it was snowing in KY, no big deal or so we thought. Well about a hour away from my hometown the roads had been terrible for awhile and I was pretty much fearing for my life. I mean have any of you actually ridden with Tim before? (Sidenote: Tim says his driving is perfection and I am scared for no reason.) (Sidenote Sidenote: I say for those who question me, ride with Tim on ice or in rain, or really just ride with him :)
So then our car starts to act really weird and finally just stops, which wonderfully enough is also about the same time that our phone starts to die. So I quickly call a friend, who fortunately is from PA, which means he can navigate the ice and snow. So we pull off the side of the road and I am still freaking out. Because people are trying to drive like they usually do. I am sorry but going 70 on ice....not smart people. As luck would have it my friend must has sensed our distress because he call 911 and let them know where we were and that we might need some assistance because it would take him a bit to get there. Thus my recent facebook status about sitting in a police car. When the police got there we had no heat. So while the men folk where looking at the car the police officer being the southern gentleman that he was offered to let me sit in his wonderfully warm car, I was shortly joined by a frozen Timmy.
Well needless to say my friend got there and we went to his house where we spent Christmas Day. Sunday we got a battery for the car and went to see my grandma. She was so grateful and happy to see us. We gave her, the gifts we got her and had lunch. It was such fun and all to soon we were back on the road to GA.
We are so thankful for:
Friends who will pick us up off the side of the road..in snow no less.
Police Officers...with warm cars.
Snow, it can be beautiful
Family
Safety

Love and miss everybody....Jess and Tim
PS I forgot my camera....no pics from us. Lo siento mi familia.

What's new

Well I (Jess) have some problems with my gums and have to go see a gum doctor. I'm not kidding. Who knew that somebody actually specialized in gums? I did not. I have a serious toothache that apparently is infected, so says the dentist who prescribed Amoxicilin, which has given me a rash on my jaw and neck that itches. It is really no bueno.

Good things are happening....

Tim: My job is going good. I really like it. I am hoping that I will get to stay on. It seems like I will. Almost done getting registered for school. Things are just really good right now.

Love,
Tim

Jessica: I got a job and am super excited. It's just at Kroger's, but I can work and go back to school. Which is what we decided. In January I will again start school. This time to finish up my Bach. of Social Work Degree. I am so happy that we are both going to be working and going to school. Things are going really well for us. We are hoping to be able to move out into our own place in a couple of months!!! That would be so awesome. Love and miss everyone...

Hugs and Kisses,
Jess

Things we learn

You know some days I can spend the whole day thinking about all the things that are wrong with my life and all the things I want and the things I do not have. Those days are pretty sad. But today as I was walking I realized just how blessed we truly are and how often we take those things for granted. Tim and I are bless with a wonderful family who would and have done anything for us. We have been blessed with friends that put up with our weirdness and love us inspite of that. It does help that they are slightly weird as well. :) We have each other. We are able to stay warm and have food. We have a Savior who loves and cares deeply for us. Dwight K. Shrute, our amazing car, has made it farther than we or anybody else could imagine. Tim has a job. Chocolate is available to the masses. At some point FAFSA will realize that we are poverished and give us money. We are young....hey youth has its perks! :) Most of all we are bless with the sweet spirit of the Lord to help us through those days when everything seems wrong.
Love and miss everyone of our family and friends that we are not able to see right now. You are always close to our hearts.

Love lots,
Tim and Jess :)

Our first Thanksgiving.....

Well since Tim and I are so not the traditional sort of couple it makes sense that our holidays would represent that. We did not get to spend the day with our families (which was really sad) and we decided not to make the traditional turkey dinner. When I asked Tim what he would like to eat today he said he didn't know. So I asked him what his favorite meal was......are you ready for this? Lasagna and cheesecake.....that is his favorite meal. So that's what I made. From scratch in case your wondering. :) I didn't really like the lasagna, but Tim loved it and the cheesecake was pretty good. I guess some would think that it's odd, but not us. It really was a good day. After lunch we watched a movie and then went on a walk at the nature preserve. All in all it's been a great day. We have much to be grateful for.

Love,
Tim and Jess.
