Wisdom Teeth

I had my wisdom teeth taken out last Friday. The photo on the left is a pretty accurate description of what my face looked like. Cute, eh? It was not actually that bad. The worst part is the liquid/soft food diet that I'm on...still. I can eat mostly...I just cannot chew on the sides of my mouth and since it takes forever to eat using my front teeth...I'm still on the liquid/soft food diet. Yum!

Words from an apostle.....

"If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived."

"Don't do anything stupid." (I like this one.)

"Love. Healing. Help. Hope. The power of Christ to counter all troubles in all times-including the end of times. That is the safe harbor that God wants from us in personal or public days of despair. That is the message with which the Book of Mormon begins, and that is the message with which it ends, calling all to 'come unto Christ, and be perfected in Him.' Moroni 10:32

Good Reads

Sometimes I just need to be reminded of a few things. I bought this book a couple years ago, read it and loved it. Then I put it away and have not really given it much thought...until recently. I picked it up again and am again reading it. I recommend it to anyone who has hit kind of a slump in life, who feels a little depressed and cannot seem to pick themselves up.

Computer/Movie

After lunch we went and walked around. Going into Office Max we didn't plan to buy a computer, but that's what happened. Which actually turned out well because it was on sale and as it was the last one we got a discount...

We saw this movie at the theater. It's called Tyler Perry's Madeas Big Happy Family. Something about a black man dressing up as a grandmother that is sarcastic is hilarious to Tim and I.

Anniversary

For the first part of our anniversary date we decided to eat Timmy's favorite food..Mexican....so we tried out this place called Salsas. It looked a little run down on the outside, but the food was amazing.

The above photo is a picture of Tim's lunch. Surprisingly even Tim couldn't finish it! The one on the right is mine....it was so good and I as well couldn't finish my lunch. Yea for trying new things.

May flowers!

The month of May has been wonderful to us. Everything is going great with work, Tim's school/work, our apartment..we are truly blessed. We also have a new addition to our small family. A dashound named Chauncey! She is beautiful. Tim's cousin Holly found her, then Tim's sister had her. But Petchi (Beth's daughter AKA a Boston Terrier) needs lots of love, as does Chauncey. It was a tad bit of a problem. So we got to adopt her. Oh how she makes me smile! She spent this morning chasing her tail!
We are also getting ready to celebrate two wonderful events. Sunday is our 1 year anniversy!!!! Crazy, eh? Also on that day Tim turns 23...I love my old man!!!!!!

Pictures to come I promise!!!!!!

Blessings and love to all,
Tim, Jess and Chauncey :)

April.....

This month has been pretty good to us. With both Tim and I working things have finally settled. We are still waiting for our car. Deep sigh and calm thoughts. ITS TAKING FOREVER!!! See the calm thoughts are needed.
Tim is registered for school and we are just waiting for his financial aid to come through. It looks as though I am not going to get to go. My financial aid only covers half. I am trying to get in-state tuition, but if I don't then it's a no go this year....which saddens me.
I miss my home, friends and especially my grandma. Also rain, green stuff and small towness.... sad face again.
Oh well I really have more to be thankful for than to complain about.

Love from,
Tim and Jess
