Chris' Breakfast

Since I told you all about the great breakfast they have here, I thought I'd show ya'll what Chris has been eating everyday. He has a glass of orange juice, some strawberries, a yogurt, and a blueberry cake donut. He his definitely being spoiled! :) 

We're Just as Happy as Can Be :)

 

More Animals

 

Saturday

On Saturday morning, we went to the Jackson Zoological Park. I love going to zoos. I don't know why. I guess it makes me feel like a kid again. :) It was quite warm outside (97 degrees), but I still had a wonderful time.

On Saturday afternoon, we had a thunderstorm come through Jackson, and we lost our power. So I couldn't cook, and we decided to eat dinner at Subway. When we got back to our place, it was back on! We were very thankful for that! :)


 

Friday Night

On Friday night, Chris and I went out to an expensive steak and seafood restaurant called Shapley's. We had a wonderful time! :) 

 

More Mississippi Pics

 

Jackson, Mississippi

Hey everyone! Chris and I are having a wonderful time in Jackson, Mississippi. Chris has been assigned to work here with other people from his company for three weeks. I will be out here with him for the first two weeks. After that I need to go home because I start teacher inservice on the 3rd of August. We are staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott. It's not really like a hotel. It's more like a condominium. This first picture, is what you see right when you walk in the fron door. On the first floor we have a living room, a dining room, pull down bed (from the wall) and full bathroom and closet, a desk, and a complete kitchen. The living room couch also fold out into a bed, which sleeps 2 more people. So, you could comfortably sleep 6 people in this place. The kitchen comes with a stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and pots and pans.
We went to the grocery store and I've been fixing dinner every night. They serve a wonderful, complimentary breakfast with almost anything you could ask for - fresh fruit, yogurt, muffins, doughnuts, waffles, a variety of cereal, eggs, grits, oatmeal, sausage, biscuits, bagels, toast, milk, juices. You name it they've got it. They also have what they call hospitality hours from 5:00 - 7:00 PM on Monday - Thursday. During that time they serve dinner and drinks. Last night was deli night, which included two kinds of meat, white and wheat bread, lettuce and tomatoe, cookies, and drinks for free. Room service is everyday. There is a large YMCA facility just down the road, and we get complimentary passess to it while we stay here. I've been going every morning when Chris goes to work. There is also a pool and two hot tubs. I've been going to the pool everyday. The weather has been very warm here. Almost everyday since we've been here it has gotten to 100 degrees. It's really been a wonderful place. Most everyone that is working with Chris will be flying home for the weekend and then flying back out on Sunday. The company paid for me to fly out because it would cost the same amount if Chris fly home during the weekends. So we are staying here this weekend. We plan to do some sightseeing, so I'll post some more pictures after the weekend.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Sign on Van

Here's the sign on our van. Patsy did the graphix art work. Thank you.

Rachel, I was just wondering if you have your classroom all set up yet? When does school start for you? Also, has Chris started his new job?

Here he is! Our newest family memeber, Cody. We got him from a friend of ours at Bible Baptist and we just love him!
