Leaving on a jet plane...

As I mentioned in my last blog, Tim's grandad has gone Home to be with the Lord. So this weekend we will be traveling to Oklahoma... please pray for safe travel.

Tim and I have only been together for a year and three months... and since I meet Tim I have become quite the traveling lady. In the past year and three months I have I've made like six flights to three different states not including connecting flights and one flight to Mexico for our awesome honeymoon! I've been to Oregon twice, Texas, California, Mexico and the next stop is Oklahoma. I love going different places it fun and exciting but I really hate packing and flying.

For me packing is not an easy task... you have to plan ahead and I'm not exactly a planner. I normally don't know what I'm going to wear until about twenty minutes before I'm leaving for an event... work, shopping or whatever it is I'm going to be doing. So to avoid over packing you have to kind of pick out what you are wearing for the week or how ever long you are going to be traveling! I don't enjoy this part of going on trips at all!

Next up is flying... it not all that bad but to be honest I have never really been comfortable on a flight... if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Lastly, When going on a trip I feel like the house needs to be clean, so before I leave I need to clean the house. I hate coming home to a mess.

I need to stop this blogging and start planning to pack and clean.

I hope everyone enjoys their Thursday!

New Year 2009!

For starters... Christmas was amazing as usual at the Roberts' house. We really missed my grandpa though because he had to be in the hospital. He is now in a rehabilation nursing home and doing so much better, he will be home in no time.

Though it was mine and Tim's first new year as a married couple we didn't really have any big plans. Tim made a trip to Oklahoma to see his grandpa and he made it back to SC just in time to ring in the new year... though we missed it by three minutes because we both fell asleep on the couch. Oh well, Dick Clarks Rockin' New Years Eve is losing it charm.

Please keep Tim and his family in your prayers. On January 13th his Grandpa Jared passed away. We will be making a trip out to Oklahoma for the funeral this weekend. So please pray for safe travel for all of the family, as we are literally spread out all over the country.

It has been a really busy start to the New Year! Not only with our personal lives but with our jobs as well. In our line of work (higher education), the start of a new semester is always busy and interesting to say the least. Tim is also very busy finishing up his last few classes for this year, so that is keeping him really busy. At least he will be getting a short break from April until June. Then he only has one year left until he has is Masters!!!!!I'm so proud of him!

Though we have been really busy we have made the time to join the YMCA and start working out! We are also trying to eat healthier... the key word there is trying. I hope we can lose all of our newlywed weight gain!

I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far... and I'm going to trying to keep up with this blogging so everyone will know the happenings of the Jared household!


Happy 2009!
