well, here it isn't!
No 'real' pics today folks! We only got home after dark so I couldn't get any pics of our new wheels. Here are a few that I got online though! We bought a 2007 Ford Escape XLT 4x4 in silver with grey interior. It's fully loaded except it does not have a moon roof or leather seats.
We love it and I got to drive it home! Woo!
Ridin' in style!

first day....
September is usually reserved for your first day of school, but not for Jamie!!!
Today is the first day of his NEW JOB!!!
That's right! New job!!
Exciting isn't it?!?! We are crazy pumped about it.
He is now working for Pioneer Chemicals. This is exactly what we needed. We said about six months ago that if nothing came up job wise by the wedding we would have to move away to find something. Thankfully on the Wednesday before our wedding Jamie got the job offer!!
We are so happy, things are FINALLY going to settle into place. With Jamie getting this job it opens so many doors---having something steady is the best part. Not to mention great pay, and a pension. We're going car shopping on Wednesday. Thanks in part to the wedding cash (enough for a down payment) we will be house shopping in the Spring.
So exciting!!
Congrats Jamie!! Love you!!
