Hmmm...

Not sure what's going on with the blog and why all of our past pictures aren't showing up!  I will try to figure out what the problem is....but just wanted everyone to know that there SHOULD be pictures!  haha  :)  sorry!

Our trip was right after Thanksgiving, so they had Christmas decorations up all over our resort...it was awesome!

We made it to the beach!

Gorgeous! Ready to go back!

Pulled up to our snow-covered house on December 4th!

Latest highlights

Ok--

Updates since the last post:

• Jeff is no longer working with YMT...things didn't work out and he has been on unemployment since November. He is constantly looking for jobs and putting in applications and resumes...so we will see what offers come his way!
• The Dominican trip was AWESOME! I will post highlight pictures soon! Greatest trip we have been on by far!!
• Christmas was wonderful. We had a GORGEOUS snowfall Christmas day night and into December 26th. What a beautiful gift from God! And it was so much fun spending Christmas Eve celebrating Jeff's birthday with not only his family, but the Jenkins crew too! I love my families and I am incredibly blessed.
• High Rock Films is.....progressing. We have been up and down with the business in the past few months but only because of Jeff's lay off and other hectic things in our life. BUT, we have kicked it into high gear lately and hopefully have some promising gigs coming up!! So stay tuned!!

I think that hits most of the highlights lately. Pictures of the Dominican will be posted shortly! And I promise, I will not let you down with a huge gap in the next posts!! :)

Wow, it's been a lil while

Sorry for the gap in posting! We obviously haven't been working out (as stated in our previous post).....mainly because we've just had other things going on. Sorry for not keeping this thing updated.

We are SUPER EXCITED to be going to the Dominican Republic in 18 DAYS!!! We are going with our friends, Amanda and Jake. We've got some excursions planned already, and we are so ready to just get there, relax and have fun soaking up the sun! :)

Thanksgiving is also right around the corner. We are so excited to see family and eat some good food!! We're leaving for the DR the Friday right after Thanksgiving. It will be nice to catch up with family, then hit the road/air to the Caribbean.

This is just a quick post, but hopefully I can keep the updates on a more steady basis. Thanks for checking up on us! :)

Now work it out...

Along with everything else we're doing, we've decided to start working out again.....and yes, it will be bright and early in the mornings! We're going to the Dominican Republic near the end of November and we want to try to be in shape by then. Playing softball 2 or 3 times a week is not a real work out, so we've got to do something else. And hopefully by blogging about it, we can hold ourselves accountable for actually doing the workouts and sticking to it! We've picked up P90X again (we did it about a year and a half ago), and we're now on day 2---woo woo! :) So if anyone tries to call us after 9pm, we probably won't answer...and if we DO answer, we probably won't be too happy because we have to get up at 5am to workout!

On another note:
Ok, so I will spill the beans on what Jeff and I are trying to do career/life wise. We're starting our own videography business! We did our first shoot with Abigail and Zach this weekend for their engagement session or "love story". And we're really excited with how the footage turned out! We've got some editing ahead of us, but we're excited to get started on it. We're doing their wedding on September 25th, and we can't wait for that either! They were such good sports to go with us for their engagement session, and it definitely helped that they're a good looking couple! :) They were awesome! The name of our company is High Rock Films, and we've got a blog up, but we're working on posting some of our work---obviously we're trying to build up a decent portfolio to show clients. We're both sooo excited to see where this leads because we enjoy doing it so much. It's awesome to work with clients and meet new people....plus we get to work together and share ideas. We're planning on not only doing weddings, but ALL types of events, corporate jobs, real estate jobs, etc. We want to do it all! :) We will keep you updated on progress and ideas we have---and we appreciate all the support we've already gotten from friends & family! We're so lucky to have everyone to support us!

Dachshund found a home!

Yes, we found Lil Wayne a good home! Jeff and I are taking him to Fuquay this evening to give him to his new owners. They seem very excited to have him, and I hope it all works out! :) It is kind of sad to see him go, but I know it will be the best thing for him....and Tucker & Scout haha.

We've been very busy lately....starting new things in life...thinking about career choices and what we want for ourselves down the road. It's so exciting to us to think about all the possibilities of what we could do in this ONE life we have to live. And while we're still young, we want to try different things that we enjoy and see what comes from it. I don't want to give too many details yet, but we're definitely trying something new, different and exciting for us and I will be posting more about it later! (Some of you already know what it is!...duh.) :)

Anyways---sorry the blog layout keeps changing. I messed with it and it got all jacked up, so maybe I will leave it like this for a while. We'll see. Hope you're having a wonderful day--thanks for checking us out!! :)

Peach Mountain

Last weekend was Peach Mountain. It was great! The weather was absolutely perfect....Warm days, cool nights. It was so nice to escape from the humidity and heat. It was the biggest crowd I have seen down at the river on Saturday. Everyone was soaking up the sunshine. I didn't take any pictures, but I got these from mom....

The house

We came back early Sunday afternoon. I was glad to be back to get some stuff done around the house and take a much needed nap. :) We missed dad being there, but he is coming home on the 21st!

Speaking of dad, we may actually head to NY next weekend to meet him and bring him home! We're deciding today on whether we will go or not....but I think it would be a fun trip! We'll see...

Also, we have a cute little dachshund dog that has taken up at our house. We're not sure if he belongs to someone or not....we plan on putting up some fliers soon. It's unusual because you normally don't see too many stray wiener dogs running around. He is black with a little brown on his feet and he has long hair. He is the sweetest pup and gets along with our dogs just fine. Not sure how old he is, but we've given him some food and we put a flea/tick collar on him because he was eat-up with ticks....poor thing. If he hangs around the house, that's fine, but I don't think we're going to actually "adopt" him or anything. I might post a picture of him on here next time. We thought about calling him Lil Wayne simply because it makes us laugh....and he is little even compared to Tucker. Anyways--if we don't hear of an owner anytime soon, and if anyone is interested in adopting a sweet, cute, little wiener dog--let us know! :)

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! Thanks for checking us out!
