Fall Late Nights

In a few hours guys I will have to be starting my very very long day and I still have yet to fall asleep.  Just the past few days have been long so I can't sleep.  Lets see it all start with Sunday I got up and went to church and then of course worked 7p-7a after that Monday I didn't really sleep cause I was off that night and I wouldn't have slept that night if I slept all day.  So I was planning on going with Jesse and looking at a new truck for him but he never texted me ore nothing.  Which of course lead to a big fight that has been going on all day still.  It just ticked me off because after wanting to be apart of the whole buying the new truck and wanting him to think about us before he brought it and getting fussed out for that.  He turned right around and asked for my help with buying the truck.  He doesn't see how buying a new truck will affect me in the years to come.  But this truck is some much smaller than his dodge and better on gas I get that.  But trust me when we do have kids there is no way he will be able to put a car seat in the back like he would have in the dodge.  I know I know but he even says his self that the reason he brought the dodge was because it was what he wanted first and the it was very roomy to fit a family in.  He just doesn't think, so we have been fussing about that.  Well then I am working 11p-7a Wednesday night and 7p-7a Thursday, so since no sleeping tonight I am going to be really struggling then.  Plus I have church before work and I have to be at Jesse's house to leave to take the new truck back to the Ford dealership at 7:30am so we are going to have to find a little time for a nap in somewhere between all this.
Even though me and Jesse have been fighting the pass two days now, I was listening on the radio on my way home tonight and this amazing song came on the radio of course I thought that one day the words to this song would be just for Jesse but as I thought more and more the words to the song has been the example my daddy has been sitting the past 7 years.  Between raising a family with two girls, be a husband and working second and third shift and plus working two jobs at a time and going back to school full time I know that no matter how hard life seems to be God will get us through everything that he puts in front of us.  As long as we still do the things he has commanded us to.  And I believe that my daddy has done just that.  He has been a great example of a Family Man.  Plus I see so much of Jesse being just like him.  So I know everyone is wanting to know this song...Family Man by Craig Campbell:

I've been working as a temp
At the local factory
I hope they hire me on full time
I've got shoes to buy
and a mouth to feed.

I drive a buy here, pay here truck
It ain't new, but it is for me
It ain't much but it fires right up
and get me from A to B

What puts the dirt underneath my nails
What keeps the calluses on my hands
Family man

They're a world my world revolves around
My sacred piece of solid ground
The flesh and bone that gives me strength to stand
They are a fire in my drivin on
The drive behind my comin home
The livin, breathin, reason that I am
A family man

There's dirty shirts to wash
Dishes in the sink to do
And there's how many times
Does 17 go into 52
There's bedtime prayers to pray
Sleep tights and I love you's
And then there's a pair of eyes
I get to lose myself into

What keeps me keepin the faith
What makes me believe I can
Family man

They're a world my world revolves around
My sacred piece of solid ground
The flesh and bone that gives me strength to stand
They are a fire in my drivin on
The drive behind my comin home
The livin, breathin, reason that I am
A family man

There's a fire in my drivin on
The drive behind my comin home
The livin, breathin, reason that I am
A family man

A family man

Always the words to the song has even been my life for the past three months with Jesse and I am so thankful that we had that time together and even now the time we are getting to spend together as well.  Of course life has been no cake walk and things have been hard but with God and love we have so how gotten through it.  And even after all the tears and hard words that were said, we have some how made it through even when it has never looked like it.  I am truly thankful for that.  
It was hard to believe Saturday Jesse and I had been together for 10 months and November will be our year anniversary.  I think and remember what my life was like just a year ago and I would have never dreamed that my life would have turned out this right.  I am so thankful for thank.  This year has been one to remember for everything that I have been blessed with.

So since this has been really my first blog this fall I haven't really got to talk about my Tigers.  The first game which was September 4 was against North Texas which we won, second game September 11 against PC was another win for the Tigers, then the third game was at Auburn which was lost by a field goal in over time... What a heart breaker that game was.  We were off this past weekend but Jesse's Gamecocks which were 3-0 went and played Auburn (so the week after we beat up on them).  Everyone thought they were so good this year well they lost the game by 8points and it was in regular playing time. So looks like we just might have a chance this November.  So anyways this Saturday we play at 12 against Miami for Homecoming.  Well Jesse is going with me and I am super excited.  Even though he won't cheer for Clemson but that will be ok he is just still go which is all that matters. 

NISE'S CANCER REPORT:
Well Nis is doing so great right now.  She has one more chemo treatment, which is Oct. 4 so which is next Monday and then they will schedule her surgery.  They say will be the first or second week in November.  I am so thankful for all the prayers and everything from everyone we are almost half way done with part of the battle.  We are praying that she does just as great with the surgery as she has with the chemo.  Everyone keep the prayers going we are greatly thankful for them.

Anyways I will try and post something last since I have a long next two days ahead of me.  Hope everyone keeps enjoy this new cool weather we are having and have a great day.  Love yall

Really Been Putting Off

So every time I get on the post something it is like everything just leaves me and I truly don't know what to write.  But I am on a mission to post something today.  The past week has been really good and I can't wait for the next few months.  I know I don't need to wish my life away but it is truly exciting.  I am picking up some more hours at work cause ok big news.  Jesse quit his job a St Jude.  I know I prayed he would get the job but the working everyday and the long hour plus all the drama was killing him, killing me, and our relationship, plus the most important time for church and everything God has truly blessed us with. The moment we were standing in Firehouse when Charlie called and asked him about everything he needed to know about coming back full time at the shop his mood was changed.  For the first time in months there was a smile that lite up his whole face and everything just seemed right.  He hugged me in a way he hasn't in months and I will never forget that.  I just now pray that this was the right thing and God will bless us because we are going to both have to help each other.
Then plus the first Clemson game is TOMORROW so ready for my boys to take the field again and show people how to play some football.  Kickoff is at 3:30 in Death Valley against North Texas and I am taking my best Friend Jenna. I truly can't wait.
On top of all this it is Labor Day weekend and Jesse and I are both off for the holiday.  He is taking me Dove Hunting (OH LORD HELP).  Wish I am really happy I get to tag along with him. 
But anyways I am going to run there will be pics to come of the upcoming events and plus I think tonight me and Jesse are going to the rodeo at the fair so even pics of that.
Love
