3 years on the dot!

Well Andrew and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary today! Last night we did a little celebrating as well.. we went to see a movie, The Blind Side, and we went to dinner at the Olive Garden (that is as good as it gets in idaho falls.) The movie was sooooo good and we just had fun. This was actually the first year we didn't go somewhere. It was nice to just hang out and do something different for change. We talked about 3 years ago the night before our wedding and how funny it was the things that we remembered... I remembered that my mom and I had just spotted a cockroach and made monte kill it and then my mom and I slept in the same bed and monte and trav had to sleep on a small pull out couch... ( we were in Hawaii for those of you who don't remember) we talked a good part of the night and for me that was special.
Andrew remembers climbing diamond head with his family, enjoying the day with them and later sleeping in the same room with his nephew Matthew, only to be woken up a few hours later to have Matthew being extremely sick.
That leads to our honeymoon where Andrew and I vomited the whole time and even missed our flight because we were so sick.... haha that is a vacation that will never be forgotten. Well hopefully not since it was our wedding, but what an interesting time it was.

Since Andrew and I have been married nothing to exciting has happened, except for our love has only grown stronger and the man I've seen him become has meant more then my expectations. What a wonderful father he will someday be and I know that he will lead us and guide us to a great rest of our lives. I feel so lucky to have such a loving, dedicated, hard working spouse, someone who NEVER lets me down. We never fight, (unless it's game night... then that's just competition) anything I ask of him it's always done, and anything I need he has it ready before I even ask! WOW he's pretty amazing if I do say so myself. Andrew I love you will all my being, with all my heart, with all my strength. You are my everything and I know you know that, but just don't ever forget it! I love you boo


Anyways I know that it's been long since pictures and a post but only because we don't have internet at our place right now and since we are both never home we don't plan on getting it soon. As far as the pictures well it's just finding the time to load them. Someday soon I will put them on here. I promise.

Gotta love Jackson Hole

So this last weekend Andrew and I decided to go on a little weekend gettaway. It was so nice to be by ourselves. We found an awesome deal for a hotel there way up on this mountain. It was so beautiful and it overlooked all these mountains and farmlands. We went and walked around for a while and saw all the shops and got some fudge. Then we went to dinner and it was awful. It was suppose to this really nice restaurant. It was the Cadillac Grill. Please don't ever go there ok... So we went back to our little hotel and we just hung out. Then next day we went to breakfast at this little place called Jedediah's sourdough house, or something like that. It was AMAZING. It totally made up for dinner. We went and explored and took some pictures. When we were headed home we went through the pass and when we were headed up there, there were some ranchers herding cattle. It was soo cool to see. I took some pictures but of course I'll post pictures later (my famous last words) So we got to the pass and we it was snowing and everyone was sliding off the road. Luckily we didn't! So it was very fun and just relaxing.

Well things are going well here in Idaho Falls. I am working as a teller at Wells Fargo. It's not very exciting but good pay and all. Andrew is going to St. Louis for a trade show for work and will be gone for quite a while. I asked my friend Mandy to come stay with me while Andrew will be gone. I hate sleeping alone by myself in the house, I get pretty freaked out. So it snowed the other day and really that's all that is new but not to exciting cuz who likes snow... not me!
XOXO

Small update

Well I made it to Idaho Falls on the 1st of September and tomorrow we are headed back to Boise to pick up the rest of our belongings that has been sitting there for 2 months. I have NO CLUE where we are going to put all these boxes that we are bringing back. Our townhouse is so little and we already can't walk around due to decorations galore!

It has been kinda nice not to have a job, but that lasted all of about 2 days of sitting and sleeping in now i am wondering what do to with myself. I have cleaned and put things away, but you can only handle so much of that day in and day out. I have had some interviews and I have one tonight so we'll see what happens.

Andrew's job is going sooooo GREAT! He is loving it there and in October he will be going to his first trade show in St Louis, Missouri. That lucky duck! His bestie Mark works with him and they are like 2 little school girls always giggling and hanging out. It is quite funny and I am very happy that Andrew has a good friend here, that is something he was missing in Boise. This job has been so good for him and I can see him trying to out due himself from the day before. He is such a hard worker and that company should be so thankful for him and his dedication. I'm sure the company is.... I'm just sayin.

We are doing really good and are just happy to finally be near each other rather that 4 hours apart. We haven't done to many exciting things as usual, but that's life and we just enjoy each other's company. We are super excited about the new fall season of TV. All the goods are finally back on.. especially the Office and Grey's.
Now I'm off to my interview wish me luck
XOXO

It's time

So I was informed today that Monday would be my last day at the BBC -aka- Boise Barber College. I am having some serious emotions about this move. I have put tons into this school and am just dying knowing that I am leaving such amazing people and all my hard work I am leaving there. I started training someone today to take my job and WOW I didn't know just how much I really did there. All my students are so upset and I am hoping this new lady will be a good replacement. I am also really sad to be leaving my nephews and my little baby nephew who I barely know. I hope they don't forget their Auntie Jessie.

I have this prospective job already in Idaho Falls and feel its important I get there. Not only for this job, but especially for Andrew! I am sooo excited just to be together again. Finally we can put our house together and just get settled.

Well wish me luck on wrapping it up here.

Sugar shortage?

So at work the other day a girlfriend of mine told me that she had heard from a reliable source that everyone needs to start stocking up on sugar because the government wants to stop candy bar companies from using sugar. The reason for that is so that they can use the sugar to make more ethanol. I heard it is going to be very very hard to come by. Has anybody else heard this?
So whether this is true or not I think it's maybe a good reminder to keep up on your storage of whatever you need. Just a thought!!

The Dramatic Starting

Well my dear hubby is in Idaho Falls and I have been here in Boise for the past 3 weeks. It has already been quite the adventure. Right now I have no computer, but my mom's and I can't download any pictures on here.. so sorry no pictures again until later.

So here is the beginning of our story. 

On Thursday the 16 of July 2009 Andrew got offered a job in Rigby, Idaho. We decided it was best to take the job. So on Monday the 20 of July we packed up most of our little house in a U-Haul and took my dad's 4 Runner and drove up to Idaho Falls. My mom and I were in Andrew's little car that had no cruise control. It was quite the ride. As we embarked on our journey, let me remind you we had noooo place to live. We were just going with the wind. 

So we finally reached our destination and had an appointment set up to look at an apartment. We hated it so we asked if there was any town-homes available because we loved ours in the past. So off we went to the other side of town. As we drive over into Ammon it all the sudden opens up into these rolling hills and cute little town-homes. It was so beautiful. I just knew it would be the place. So we walk into the town home and it was two story and very adorable. It was dusty and kinda smelled a little, but that's because it hasn't  been rented out since April. So we decided to sign a lease so that we could just move right in. We went to the office and as we are signing there was no AC and we were all dying, plus we were STARVING. It had been about 6 hours since we had any food. The landlord told us that when we are to leave at the end of our lease, there would be a inspection with a white glove. She made quite the fuss about it. When we were done we called our oh so wonderful friends Brit and Kelly and told them we'd buy them dinner if they'd be so kind to help us move some of our bigger items in the house. They were so awesome and agreed to it. WOW we're thankful for them. This is where it all began.. all the craziness.

After dinner we went to the house and when we walked in we all kinda re-smelled the awful smell that was there. My friend Brit is pregnant and she got down on her hands and knees and started sniffing the ground for urine smells. It was quite the sight. She just cracks me up. She didn't smell anything in the carpet so we decided to move on. We moved into the kitchen and started sweeping the kitchen. The laundry room was next, as I'm sweeping I was somewhat sweeping underneath the washer and all the sudden out popped a dog bone. Well now the realization hit that they had a dog. So we start looking around and found the whole sides of some of the panels are totally chewed up. Brit tried to take my mind off of it and decided we should start putting spices away. So I agree and I open a cabinet to put spices on the shelves. I put my hand up on the shelf and feel the most disgusting sticky stuff as I pull my hand away. I look my hand has honey all over it. So now I start freaking out and start really looking around. I open the fridge and the fridge is gross on the bottom shelf. I open the freezer and guess what I found.... Mildew. White glove inspection my bleep!! The toilets were gross, the drains had hard limestone marks, and the blinds has huge spots taken out of them. You could see into our house with the blinds down.

Andrew and Kelly were moving things in as this whole process was going on. They were just as much in a dilemma. Our stairwell is  very narrow and it's pretty hard to fit certain things up it, take for instance our box spring. Let me tell you it was one tense town home during this time. Andrew and Kelly had been working their tushes off and were very discouraged. The neighbors next door came home as we were unloading some boxes and they ended up telling us that they had to just force their box spring up the stairwell and that their place was super dirty also. In the end they loved their place and the location, that was nice to hear. Well after 2 holes, a broken banister, scraped paint, and a broken box spring, we finally had it moved up stairs. Andrew and I were seriously thinking of calling it quits with the house, but my mom worked us through it. 

Kelly and Brit finally left and I'm sure were so happy to get out of there. We sure did appreicate all their hard work. THANK YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH! 

My mom and I ended up cleaning the whole house until about 2:30 in the morning. At around midnight the other neighbors who we hadn't meant they knocked on our door and she told me to be quiet. I said sorry and she just kept talking I was like, "yeah I get it, we'll be quiet thanks." I was one big grouch. 

The next day Andrew talked to our landlord and luckily she gave us a small refund. We drove up to Rexburg and saw Andrew's family. We also had some errands to run and on our way home Andrew received a phone call from his new boss. They asked him to start a day earlier because the boss was coming into town. The Lord has been so good to us. We were fortunate enough to find this good job and a good home. 

Well 3 weeks later.....

Andrew is loving his job, loving our home, and everything is going good there for him. I moved into my mom's house and go over to our house and pack little by little every day. 

I have no job set up in Idaho Falls and am hoping that whatever I am suppose to do will just happen. I have been very emotional during these last few weeks, I am slowly getting more used to the idea that I will be leaving my wonderful job and all the great friends I have made. I have broken into tears many a times and am hoping that the transition will go smoother than expected.

I know this is right for Andrew and I, but at the same time is hard to move from my family and my great job. I will miss everything so much but I think that it's time for change and hopefully it will be a ride that takes us on a much bigger adventure!

XOXO

PS I will be moving over there more towards September instead of November. WOOHOO

So the beat goes on...

Well just a really small update with a big announcement..... Andrew accepted a job up in Eastern Idaho so back to our "roots" so to speak. Andrew will be working for a software company that is called Computer Lab Solutions. The office is in Rigby, but we are thinking we are going to find an apartment for Andrew in Idaho Falls. We are moving Andrew up there tomorrow (which is monday) He will be going through a trial period for about 3 months and during that time I will be moving back in with my parents until Andrew's trial period is over so we can make sure we have job security wherever we may be. We are assuming I will be following after about 3-4 months... you saw that right... MONTHS. We are dreading being seperated, but we feel as good as we can about it. We are just lucky for this opportunity that Andrew will be getting a job in his own profession. Thanks for all your many thoughts and prayers.
XOXO
