We're caught up!!


Well, I believe we have been in the Woodlands for about 1 1/2 or 2 weeks now and we just got caught up!!!! That means that the inspections we did, we were finally able to write up the estimates and turn them in the same day we did the inspection!! This is a huge accomplishment and brings hope that the learning curve is near the end!!! In celebration....we went to the Cheesecake Factory right down the road! After I got the wrong soda, a soda with no syrup and then fish tacos (which I did not order...and I don't eat fish)..they finally got my meal right. We laughed! Not to mention I was under an air vent that was leaking water. We were in such a great mood none of that mattered!!! This was us in the truck on our way!!!


And here we are at the Cheesecake Factory! It overlooked the Woodlands Waterway! It was so beautiful!










Wes got to enjoy the view from a roof that was extremely steep! It was 8am in the morning and dew was still on the roof...but like always...he does an amazing job of not scaring me half to death!!! I think he is enjoying this roof climbing a little too much:)


Well...we have been out in the country quite a bit and look who made friends with Wes!!

Today's Adventure

Wow! Today was crazy! Wes got to bed around 5am last night........he was up late working on Estimates...and I pooped out at 9pm...sad..I know. But we are mostly caught up and we have learned a ton so things are on the up swing! We are definitly getting the hang of this and I think we are pretty good at it!!

I think Wes climbed the biggest house today to get on the roof! It scares me so I try not to watch!! Not to mention it was 11/12 out of steepness....12/12 is straight up and down! I'm so proud of him...and he loves it!!! Here's a pic looking down...

When Wes had a moment he took a breather and snuggled with Precious.....


So we have a lot of claims for people out in the country...well water and all! So we are learning a lot....Wes and I are gaining more of a country accent than ever before...and he says "Howdy" to every person we see! we are working on that!! So we arrived at one house...and what did they have for us...well they had cooked lunch for us...yep..chicken and dumplings, with cornbread, beans and homemade peach cobbler! We are starting to love the country! They even sent us home with two different homemade jams! I love country folk:) Maybe I'll bring it for our Christmas gathering.....and even Thanksgiving Andrea and Kellie!

Wes is sleeping and I'm missing everyone! Wish I could run to Starbucks and hangout with friends:) Wes and I are really getting to know each other well. It's great....with all the time we spend together..it's amazing how well we get along:) more later.

Oh...but of course...one more cute picture of Precious...meow...

Our temporary new life.....

So a lot has changed in the last few weeks. Beth quit her job, Wes quit his job and we both are now independent insurance adjusters! Who knew this is what we would be doing 3 weeks ago! We have been praying since we got married that the Lord would lead us to exactly what He has for us! We have lots of debt that we need to pay off and at the rate we were going it would have taken a while. This new opportunity will hopefully help us pay off debt! We are still working through Wardlaw Claims Insurance (whom Wes worked for, for the last 3 years) and are currently do claims in the Woodlands area, North of Houston. We got a temporary apartment here, and along with Precious our cat...we ventured to our new home to work insurance claims. We have no idea how long we will be here..maybe a month..or two...or 6? Only the Lord knows and we are trusting Him with everything we have!!!


Check out our apartment building! We are at Alexan Springs in the Woodlands...we are the one on the 2nd floor!








We haven't been getting a lot of sleep. We are averaging 5 hours. Wes stays up longer than Beth every night, but Beth at least tries to keep him company during the wee hours of the morning. Let's just say Precious does too...














Wes is wonderful! He takes amazing care of me...and despite how busy we are...still takes out the trash! I'm telling you....I sure did get a great man!!!!!










So today, has been our first day off since we got here over a week ago! Although we have a lot of work to do in our home office...we managed to take a walk around our apartment complex to enjoy the weather! Hopefully we will be able to take a dip in the pool soon...but today we just admired it....




























Isn't my husband so handsome! The nice thing about Houston...and Texas is the weather is still in the 80's at 11 in the morning...crazy!!!














So in preparing to do insurance adjusting....Wesley and I had to buy a few needed items..since both of us had laptops from work....and he had a cell phone through his work...so he bought a new phone...and to make things a little easier in the field...we also bought something a little bigger than a cell phone.......

what could it be you might ask????

keep scrolling.....

We bought a Black, 2002 Toyota 4 Runner!!! We got a great deal on this used beauty and it runs so much better than the Civic! We were really excited and blessed to get a great deal!! Not to mention it's automatic!!!!




I think Wes will always have pictures where he makes Elvis faces...


Well...that's all for now!! Please email us and stay in touch!! We miss you all!


Beth & Wesley
