Summer is almost over...

So nothing much has happened, changed, or occurred since my last post. I (Jess as usual) am just really bored at the moment and procrastinating from doing school work. School work you say? Yep, I'm trying to get as much done ahead of time as possible. They (the evil Government/School Board) took two of our pre-planning days (of course the first two days, Monday and Tuesday) which means I have two less days to get everything ready for open house Thursday night. My room is pretty much ready to go, but now I'm just trying to get everything ready for the parents and the first day/week of school. Oh well... life goes on.

Mom is still improving and doing great. She's driving now and has her last week of therapy ahead of her. Her sister and niece from Baltimore are coming down Wednesday for about two week. I'm super excited for her to see them. They're going to all come up to Auburn one weekend and we're going to meet them there as well. Her sister has lost a lot of weight (80lbs at least) and has been my motivation since I put a lot of my weight back on.

Speaking of weight, Dave and I have been going to the gym strong and faithful now. We're getting back into the routine of going and eating right. I asked him to make me go every day even if I say that I do not want to go. LOL, He has made me stick to it, and I thank him for that!! I might not thank him on the way there, or while I'm there, but usually on the way home he gets a thank you! :-)

Nothing is new in the job world for Dave at the moment. Keep us in your prayers that something comes up soon. I am so ready for some sort of 'vacation/travel'. Well I'm off to maybe stop procrastinating.. ha ha ha

Peace Out! Until next time...

Back together in Georgia!!

So I (Jessica) am back home in Milner, GA. I have to say I did miss my bed (more than I really thought I did) and my husband!! I have a meeting with work this week, so I needed to get back home, and get ready for that. Mom is doing great, and is really independent now, so it was a good time for me to leave her too. She is officially walking with no assistance (no walker/cane), except every now and then when she feels she needs something, she can use her cane. She has been doing great from what I can tell, especially from where she was before the surgery. I'm really proud of her for finally going through with the surgery and am so happy to have been able to be there to help her get back to 'normal' afterwards!!

We had a great 4th of July weekend! We started that Friday, the 3rd, going to Ocean Springs, MS, to visit family. My cousin has a beach house there and they were in town with their 3 girls as well as my Aunt and Uncle. Her brother, wife, and one month old baby were coming into town too. Of course I wanted to see the new baby, and play with my cousins 3 young girls!! They were so much fun, and of course the baby was absolutely adorable!!

Saturday the 4th, we got up and loaded the car, and headed to Auburn, AL to meet up with Dave. We just hung out at the trailer for the day. I cooked dinner and we had our good family friends over from Opelika. They are so fun!! We just enjoyed the evening eating, talking, and eating some more. We were so busy talking that we totally forgot about maybe going to see fireworks. We heard them though, LOL!!

Sunday the 5th, we loaded up and headed home. Mom and Dad headed to Mobile, and we headed home. It was good to be home, however, now 'the real world' hits. Bills, laundry, cooking... it's all good though!!

Peace Out!! Until next time...
