MARRIED!!

Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Kiefer

June 30, 2012

I am now proud to call myself a Kiefer!!  The wedding was everything that the both of us dreamed of and more!
A great time was had by us and our guests!

New Toys

Here is the fruits of our labor with our new FoodSaver that Mom got us!!

We bought some hamburger at Kroger tonight and sealed it up.

I had to teach Jonathan to use the FoodSaver so he can help
vacuum and seal the bags while I stuff and label.

Now off to Sam's Club tomorrow for pork chops and steak!!

Pictures to come of the new George Foreman in use with our FoodSaver'ed meat!!

Long Time, No Post

So life has been a little busy so posting has been put on hold.
Here is a recap of what has happened in that long time span:

Jonathan still has his job and is working like crazy!
I started graduate school and is working like a crazy woman!
We finished our wedding details (cake tasting, hair/makeup/catering, etc.)
Had a bridal shower in The Colony with lots of fun, food, and fellowship!

Here is to hoping that the posting won't be so "non-existant"!!

A Brand New Car!!

Well, Jonathan and I finally made the decision to say goodbye to his old 1998 Toyota 4-Runner and get some new wheels.  His 4-Runner has been acting up lately...shaking all the time, a few transmission problems, not consistently starting, and the brakes were beginning to wear.  Last Saturday we went to CarMax and got a trade-in estimate on his SUV.  I was expecting $1,500, but to our surprise the appraisal was $3,000....WE'LL TAKE IT!!

We decided on a new vehicle to purchase as well.  Jonathan chose a 2008 Ford Escape (in Maroon, of course)  It had just under 45,000 miles and the only owner was a rental car company.  The car was purchased for $15,995.

 

Now who has the beater car??

....yeah, that would be me 

Official....Finally!!

Jonathan finally got his official offer letter from Weatherford Labs!  He has until December 5th to accept the offer, but he has already made up his mind.  Now he needs to do the pre-employment drug test and background check.  I am so happy that he is finally going to be official; I have been worried that he was never going to be official.  He has also been asked to go on a business to Brazil in January.  He is now in the process of getting is work Visa and all the approved clearance that he needs.

Baby on the Way

Jill's baby is almost here!! 
I can't wait to be an Aunt and Jonathan
can't wait to be a Uncle-in-training!!

Student Teaching

I am student teaching now at Spring High School, which is about 30 minutes away from my apartment in Conroe.  Spring High School has a nationally recognized choir program in which one of my college professors was the head director.  They have made sweepstakes at UIL state competition for the past 17 years....straight!!  I am learning bunches and the directors (Ms. Dean and Mr. Landgrebe) have been great mentors.  If you look at my facebook pictures, you may see some of the crazy things that we do during the day.  My last day is this coming Wednesday, Dec. 7th.  I then have a meeting the following day, then i'll be able to graduate!!  Yippie!!
