First Day Down!!!

Well as you may know, I am going to medical school. Today was my first day and I MADE IT THROUGH!!! I have received a lot of information on the first day and feel quite overwhelmed. However, I am determined to hang in there and be the best Medical Assistant I can be. lol I am sure that I am going to need all of the good wishes and prayers that you all are willing to give. All are welcome. Well, I have to go so I can cook dinner and then get to studying and do my homework. That's right homework on the first day. And by the way, a test on Friday. Wow, they don't wast any time do they? Thank's for listening.

Our House!!

Ok...above are some pics of our house. The house is all white, which drives Jon and I crazy!! But we are trying to add color through decorations. And you all know Jon loves to decorate. :o) He has such a talent for arranging silks. We are far from finished decorating. We have to add things as our budget allows. Our living room is so bare. We don't have anything to put on the walls yet. But of course Jon's big TV is the focal point anyway. lol Steve and Sam were the first to see our house, but it was completely bare. At least until they brought us all of our furniture. Thanks you guys, you are the greatest.

Brian and Tessa came to visit us a couple of weeks ago and had dinner with us. We had a great time. Jon and Brian played PS3 and hung out while Tessa was at her parents house. Then Brian helped Jon and I in the kitchen prepairing dinner. We had lots of fun, it was great! We can't wait to entertain more of our friends. We realize we live so far away so anytime friends are comming to the Mesa area we hope to get a visit. We have a guest bedroom if you would like to stay overnight. We would love to have you. :o) Hope to see you soon.

Starting Over

OK...I know it has been quite a while since I have blogged. So I will try to catch up on what has gone on in our lives since my last blog, but also keeping it short.

Jon and I arrived back in Safford, AZ Nov. 1st 2009 (made possible by a great friend, Steve). We stayed with mom and dad for a couple of days.Then we rented a small apartment next door to my parents. We loved being close to my parents again. We were still not able to find work. I was at least able to draw unemployment. So after a couple of months, Jon was able to get an interview with a company called ASARCO. He got the job and started working in mid February 2010. We were so excited that at least one of us found work. However, the job was about 125 miles from Safford, so we had to move yet again. We stayed with my brother, Jerry, in Globe until we saved up enough money to lease a house. If it weren't for Jerry's generosity, Jon would not have been able to take the job because he would not have been able to travel back and forth from Safford. Thank you Jerry!!! So we found a house in Gold Canyon and we love it. It is just outside of the Phoenix Metro area. We live in the beautiful country, but are just 10 minutes away form a huge metropolise. We love it!!!

God Bless each and everyone who helped us along our journey of reaching our current location. If it weren't for each one of you we would not have made it through 2009 and early 2010. We love you all and God Bless.
