I've been tagged...

by Teresa.
Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. *Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I love my life. I recently got married and have never been happier! My hubby is my everything! Married life is awesome when you're married to your best friend.

2. I always thought I would be a teacher when I "grew up". After getting an Associate's Degree in Early Education, I switched my major to Business/Accounting. This shocked everyone, including myself!

3. I'll never forget the smile on the faces of the friends in St. Lucia when we met them on our honeymoon. What an experience! They were overjoyed to have fellowship, even with people they had never met before!

4. I am trying to be positive about school starting again. I miss the excited "back to school" feeling! The mental outlook is truly everything!

5. I met my husband when I was 16 and at the time thought he was wayyy to old for me (and was a little upset at him for making fun of my Southern accent! haha). I found out later that he's only 2 years older than me. We exchanged email addresses, so I wrote him, but didn't hear back for almost a year! We started dating later that year (and now he thinks my accent is cute)...

6. There have been a lot of changes in the last couple months. I miss my old meeting and field. It was so hard to leave. I miss my old co-workers. I feel so sorry for the company; they are struggling and it's very stressful.

7. Since being married, I'm learning a lot. I've learned that I LOVE to cook! I try to cook at least two new recipes each week. Tim's favorites so far are my banana choc. chip bread and hamburger pie. Oh, and I've also learned that I don't like doing laundry...or maybe I should say, I STILL don't like doing laundry! ;)

I tag: Lydia, Jorge/Debbie, Michal, & Susan

Our Visitors!

On Top of Ol' Sawnee...

Tim & I took Cameron, Amanda, & Shannon for a hiking trip on Sawnee Mountain. We discovered this park near our house and decided to give it a try! It's fairly new and some parts are still under construction, but overall it has very nice hiking trails. On the top of the mountain, there are "Indian Seats", where supposedly the Indians used to sit to see the beautiful views. These are rocks, or should I say cliffs, so I was a bit nervous when everyone decided to go "explore" but everyone ended up doing fine...no injuries! :) There's also rock climbing available at this park, but you must have a "climbing permit" from the city...Tim & I might look into this, although these rock walls definitely do not compare to the rock climbing gym walls!! (haha)

 Enjoy the pictures!

The Latest!


Our First Sunday in Cumming ;)

7.13.08


Wow, I'm getting behind in updating! Well, at least the last couple weeks have been less hectic! :)
Tim is getting moved back to the Cumming store (yay!!)...his first day back will be Tuesday. He'll be a GS again, but we're just happy he'll be back in Cumming -- closer to home and working with people that he likes! :)

I'm still enjoying my job...learning a lot but still have a long way to go! Hopefully I'll have all this "tax" stuff down soon...April 15th will be here before I know it! :)

School starts in a couple weeks. Can't say either of us is looking forward to that, however, school starting also means that convention is just right around the corner! And we are defiantly looking forward to that!!

Below are some pictures from a couple Sundays ago. I'm having some issues w/Slide right now. Sorry!

**Oh! And if anyone took pictures at our wedding and wouldn't mind sharing them w/us on a CD...that would be wonderful!!** :)

Until later...

Martin's & Spath's for dinner & fondue!

We've been married a month!

Can't believe how fast time flies! It seems like just yesterday we were with all the family getting ready for our wedding and now it's already been a month! :)

I started my new job and so far, so good! :) I'm learning a lot!

This week T & I are dogsitting for my parents. We will be taking care of Molly while they are gone to Milford.

More later!

Changes!

There have many changes in the last few weeks ~ and this week was no different! All in one week, I got a new job, turned in my notice at Northstar, starting training today for my new job, and will report for my "first" day of the new job on Monday. It was hard to leave Northstar, especially since I've been there for 3 years...I will miss my co-workers but this new job was too good to turn down and with Northstar's financial situation, this just all fell into place at the perfect time. Instead of driving 40 miles a day (roundtrip), I'll be driving 8! And eventually I'll be working at home!! :) I'm especially excited about that! So starting Monday, I'll be working for CPA firm in Cumming.

As far as Tim's job, he's still at State's Bridge...we'll see where that leads next week.
School starts soon! Can't believe summer is almost over...it's never long enough!

Until later...

Apartment Pictures

Ok, so I thought I had more pictures of the apartment than I really do. I'll have to add some to the slideshow when I get a chance to take some more. :)

The heart over our bed is something that T's dad made for us...up close it says "Tim & Jaime" and it's made from wire! He had made one for T's mom and I saw it and loved it! So the next time we went to CA, he had made us one! :)

Thanks for all the comments!
