Our Life

So obviously I have not wrote in a very long time, considering I made our blog, then decided to not write in it. Well since then, life has been crazy. For an update, I am moving to Brainerd....Jamie is not. I am looking for a job....Jamie is not. We are still together, but he found a job here that is nearly unbeatable! I am happy for him I am, don't get me wrong, its just going to be so hard to live so far away from him. We have agreed that when I don't work during the week and I don't have class, I will maybe go stay with him, and when he is home on weekends if I am still in Brainerd, he will come stay there. It will be hard, but it could be worse. I am happy and proud of him.

Well, as I say, Jamie found a new job. He is doing concrete with one of his good friends and a great boss. I am so happy he found this job. He loves to do it, and he gets paid well...AND his crew is great. The boss is great, the crew is great, the job is great, the pay is great...what more could he ask for; how can I not be happy for him! As for me, I have yet to find a job there, so I am still working here in Mo-town! BUT we did find a house that we are very interested in. I guess what we might do is just drive here to Morris when we are working and what not.

Our life has been turned upside down though too. Like I said he got a job. Its great! But the hard part is now he works out of state sometimes. I mean, he'll come home at night one week, and the next week he is gone in Wisconsin or Montana or some other state for a week and he doesn't come home at night. Its hard dealing and getting used to this. Not only that, but I am stressing out about trying to get a house, a job, and get settled before I have to start school....but on the good side things are still ok. Its hard but its ok.

So I know I kind of have been jumping around and what not, but I think I should be going. I will try to update soon, not that I have anyone for followers :*( sad day! Well until next time!!!!!

The Introduction


My name is Kristin. I am 20 years old and WAS going to college but ended up taking a year off. Jamie is 26 years old, and currently works at a bean plant. To describe our relationship, I would have to say we are very spontaneous, outgoing, adventurous, loving, caring, and all around happy people. We got together November 28th, 2008. Jamie and I are always there for eachother, and we always care for each other. Many say we are a perfect match. Though we both are very different in some areas, for the most part, we balance each other out. Our love is strong and like any other couple, we've had our ups and downs. Jamie is an amazing guy! I tell you what, I don't think I could be any happier with any one else. Jamie is my best friend!

We currently are renting a VERY small apartment in Minnesota close to his parents. My parents live about 3 hours away which makes it quite difficult to see them. But, on the bright side, we are looking to move to a different area both for me to go to school, and so that I can see my family a little bit more.

We have two chihuahuas, Tank and Ida. Tank is all white, long haired, and is 13 lbs. He was born June 17th, 2009. We also have a chihuahua, weiner dog, min-pin mix (Ida) we is all brown, short haired, 6 lbs and was born August 26th, 2009. Both of these two dogs are mine and Jamies best little friends. They, as we always say, our children!

We both are very hard working people, who work odd shifts. At 20 years old, I work two jobs (one full time and one part time). Jamie has one full time job. Though we work a lot, we both are good about finding time to hang out, whether it be with friends, or just the two of us and the dogs. I am the one who cooks in the house, and I absolutely love doing it. Jamie likes to grill, and that is something I have not perfected yet :) All in all, we are just a young, happy, fun loving couple who enjoys life as much as we can!
