Hi Family

By Stacey -
Well its been a week that Jake and I have been here. We are liking the area more, and the apartment is coming together slowly. Tomorrow we go back to IKEA for a couch. We still havent decided on which one.

I might be getting a job teaching dance one night a week which would be an answer to prayers. I couldn't figure out how I was going to get to dance this year, and this would be the perfect way. I miss choreographing, and having a studio to walk into and dance around for a few hours. When I'm upset...I actually have to deal with it like a normal person...no dancing it out for an hour!!!


The commute to work isn't bad at all. You wouldn't be suprised how far people commute EVERYDAY! The average is an hour, and thats the average! It is just so expensive to live here. I met a lady the other day who has a 4 year old, is pregnant, her husband was just deployed for Iraq and drove 2 hours ONE WAY to work everyday! Now she only has to drive an hour!!! I think that is the craziest thing I ever heard!

We have been doing lots of lesson planning this week. Its been nice meeting people. Everyone is so friendly. People say hi like they have known you forever. I always have to think "Do I know them??" which i never do. Fo some reason, I am not overwhelmed right now. Do I know anything about Floral Design? NO. Do I have anything prepared for Meet the Teachers night next week? No. Have I worked on the wedding? No. Do I have anything organized in my apartment? No.
But, I honestly, don't care! I think I am just trying to get my groove right now; Figure out how I fit into this new life. Once Jake leaves next Thursday, I will have to start pulling it all together. I hope I can accomplish things once I'm married!!!

anyway. I'm just about done at school, and I have to make a few trips out to the car with all these crazy curriculum guides.

i love you all! I miss my family!

Sounds like a happy life! I am glad for you. It's fun getting to know new places and sweetheart "You not in Logan anymore"....

I still pick the plaid - you'll be glad in the long run - you can put slipcovers on it easier -- and the other one looks like a dr. office couch.

Stacey everything will come together and turn out just great. If you can't dance family is only a phone call or e-mail away. Love you, can't wait to see you in your wedding dress and see all your dreams come true. You and Jess have found your prince's. P.S. I still liked the other couch.

I want you to know how much I admire you. I know that time is short for you and your family to be together and there are lots of things to do. But somehow I feel that you are one of the lucky ones. In these next few weeks, you will love Jeron more than you ever have and you will cherish all your moments together as a family as most of us civilians never do. You are strong. You come from strong stock. Me, my mom, her mom, grandma hett, aunt julie, stacey, kristie. When you were Charly's age, you always loved to be in the wind and rain. I would carry you and try to shield you from the bad weather, but you always poked your little face, loving the rain and wind beating on it. I still have that image of that baby girl as I look as you now. You have challenges and trials and yet are so willing and ready to face them head on. Love each second with your husband! He is a good man. Know that the Lord is mindful of you and keep a record of his many blessings to you and Jeron. You...

A Challenge

By Stacey -
So Jake and I have been watching a lot of tv and decided to take pick at least one day of the week and not turn on the TV at all. We challenge you guys to do the same. We are going to do Mon ( our fam home evening day). So, we challenge you guys to do the same...no TV, no movies, and no excessive internet surfing for one day a week. Go for a walk, a hike, start reading a book together, clean, make dinner together, do random service for people you don't know, go to bed early! Let me know how it all goes!

hi Ya'll (thats what everyone says here in TX) Jeron and I have made great friends with Vanessa And Eder..... (jeron works with him) They are really down to earth and are SO good with charly. They are our age and both mexican.....(jeron fits right in with them... lol kidding) Last night the 4 1/2 of us went to a carnival.... we all took turns riding the rides and watching charly.... then we all stuffed our faces with corn on the cob, cotton candy (which charly loved), and caramel apples YUMM. we watched all the animals in the petting zoo, got fake tattoos (some things never get old) and just sat and talked. It was so fun. It just made me feel so good.....Just in the sense of me and jeron and charly being our own little family in Texas..... 100's of miles from where we were raised..........being on our own... not depending on anyone anymore.... and being so happy together. I feel like we have come so far from where we were 2 years ago... when I didn't eve...
