We are EXPECTING.... TWINS!!! 11-12-2011

Yes, you did read that correctly. It's still sinking in here too, LOL. We are super excited and happy to be pregnant and having twins on top of it all is really fun. (hard and challenging too I know!)As of today I am 12 weeks and 5 days along. I go back to the doctor on June 6 (in four weeks).

Since our last post and pregnancy announcement we are in the process of buying a house. This house is in Savannah in the same neighborhood that Dave grew up in and his parents still live in. We lucked up on a great deal on an older 1960 brick home, corner lot, 3 bedroom plus bonus room house. It was in great condition and after some updated paint and carpet will be even better! The red shag has to go! LOL!! So thats the news from the East Coast crew... going to go and find some dinner for us and take it easy for a bit.

Peace Out, for now,
~Jess & Dave

Happy New Year!!

Hey Everyone,
I (Yup, Jess), hope this year is starting out great for everyone! We're doing great! We have two jobs so we know we are blessed and are happy about that. Christmas was wonderful! We celebrated a little early with the Padgett's so that we could travel to Mobile to be with my parents this year on Christmas. We had a great (but sadly short) visit with them. We were able to spend a day with my girls Casey, Mandy, Sarah, and Madison! and Randy too :o). It's so good being able to reconnect like we've never been separated by hundreds of miles and hours of travel. We were not able to see any extended family but such is life during the busy holidays.

I was also able to go and spend a weekend again in the mountains with my girls from Atlanta and meet my good friends Sandy and Al's precious boy John. I was able to see everyone but Laura and Karisa's baby Blake. Hopefully next time I'll be able to stay in Atlanta longer.

Work is great. Praying for a full time position for next year! I am not too sure when I'll find out, but jobs have not been posted yet. I have to 'apply' to them when they're posted in our e-mails. Please keep my job in your prayers. My position right now will not be opening up again at the beginning of the school year. It will be an add on later if they need it. (like they did this year when I got the job) Dave is staying busy with his job. They had some rezoning so he was able to 'lose' a store and now only has to rotate between 6 stores every week. It makes it a bit easier on him to get to every store and get everything accomplished that is needed. He has been down with his back in the evenings, but has started physical therapy, and seems to be improving. Thankfully the doctors are not saying anything about surgery!!

So my new years resolution is up and going! I want to blog about it to help keep me focused and held accountable! I am not 'dieting', but instead making better life and healthier choices. My goals are to lose a pound a week (not too big to be discouraged, but not too small, I gotta work for every pound I lose) with losing 5 pounds a month. My goal is to get back to where I was on our wedding day! The happiest day of my life so far!! So far I am at 12 pounds lost (yes I lost 11 pounds in January alone.) I am so happy and proud every time I say that, but tend to be lazy/less motivated during the week at times. I am staying focused and on track with food so that is a plus. I have a great support group from my friends who I used to work out with in Atlanta. My goal is to run the Savannah bridge run in December with my brother-in-law!! We want to do a 5k this spring and next fall as well. Those are my goals! We'll see... only time will tell....

Well I have to get going and finish cleaning. Hope you all have a fantabulous weekend!
We love you all!
Peace out! (for now...)
