Fun in the Sun

We have had a great time in Florida with our good friends Jacob and Tiffani this week. We are sad it is our last day, but are excited to get back home! I didn't bring the cords to hook up my camera, but this is one picture (not that great, I might add...) that we pulled off Jim's phone! Hopefully I can put more up later on this week!

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!

Big Boy

While I am not going to write a long post, I wanted to let you all know we are having a great time in North Carolina! We are loving spending time with our BIG nephew...remember he is not even a year old yet (but soon...July 15th). Talk to y'all soon!

Eating, Eating, Eating...his FAVORITE past time!

Happy 2 Years!!!

I can not believe that Jim and I have been married for two years. It seems like yesterday that I was finishing last minute details for the wedding. Our anniversary was actually on Tuesday, but since JCPS was still in school, and we were in the grind of the work week, we decided to wait until tonight to celebrate....and we had an AWESOME dinner at Morton's Steakhouse...of course Morton's never seems to disappoint! We have enjoyed every minute of these two years, and can't wait for many, many more!

So......

I am a TERRIBLE blogger and haven't blogged in pretty much forever.

Not too much has been going on in our life, so really you all didn't miss out on much!

I completed my first 6 hours of another masters degree, and classes begin again tomorrow (Monday). It is great because the classes are split into 8-week bi-terms, so I can earn 6 hours in 8 weeks! It is a little more intense because of the shortened time period, but I figure if I can push through I will be finished sooner rather than later!

We have only a few weeks of school left before summer break and the kids...and teachers are READY. I love my job, but this has felt like the longest year. I am sure it had something to do with being overstaffed and transferred mid-year, but I am ready for June 5th!

I can't promise when I will blog again....but like I said, there isn't much that has been going on anyway!!!

I'll leave you with a picture of Jim and I on our honeymoon in Jamaica! I am wishing I was on a beach right now... and since I don't have any pictures of Jim and I recently...this will do!
Oh, how I love Jamaica!!!! Dream with me...just shut your eyes and listen to the Bob Marley music in the background :0)

Have a great week!

Spring Break

It has been a great and relaxing spring break this week. Jim has had to work, but it has been nice being at home with him! Jim's family got to come and visit this past weekend. We love being able to visit with them and are sad that we can't spend longer together. Jenny and Drew, (Jim's sister and her son) were able to stay until Wednesday morning, so we were able to spend a few extra days with them!

Wednesday afternoon my good friend Tiffani, my mom, sister, and I went to Indiana for some outlet shopping. We shopped all day on Wednesday and finished up a little on Thursday morning before coming back to Louisville. It was a great get-a-way during spring break!

I am terrible and did not take any pictures of our family while they were here, or our shopping trip. But, I will leave you with this one of Jim and his new gift. While I was at the outlets, I bought Jim a Snuggie (which I think are ridiculous, but he has been talking about them for months now). He was so excited, he made me take a picture RIGHT then.

Anyway, have a great rest of the week!

(oh, and in case you were wondering...that is the free reading light that comes with the Snuggie.)
(Oh, and also...Jim is NOT reading that Beth Moore book...it is mine, but he wanted to look like the commercial for the picture...weird, I know :o) )

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!!!

Love,
Jim, Jess, and Champ

Long time, I know...

So, it's been a long time since I have updated....I know. I have REALLY enjoyed being able to come home from work and NOT do my own school stuff, although that is quickly coming to an end since classes begin Monday. I am starting another masters program. Hopefully I can finish in a year, we will see how realistic that timeline is after this semester :o)

But anyway, Jim and I have enjoyed being able to eat supper together and watching some of our favorite shows...ESPECIALLY 24 and The First 48 (weird that they are both shows with numbers and if you double 24, you get 48....anyway, we watch other shows without numbers, but these two are our favorite!)

Jim and I have been busy with "Life". We feel we haven't stopped "going", yet we really don't have much to write about, so I will leave you with this sweet picture of Champ. Jim was able to snap this shot today after he heard some wrestling around in the living room. He went to look to see what Champ was "into" and as you can see he wasn't into anything, but it seems he was trying to get into a comfortable position to take an afternoon nap!
