RUSSELL UPDATE!!

RUSSELL UPDATE!!



Hey y'all sorry it has been so long for an update. I know we don't need excuses but things are back on track to being normal once again!! For those who don't know Kip and I moved in with the in-laws back in April while trying to sell the house. We moved here for jobs after Kip was laid-off. He found a great job and is doing very well. I transferred down here to go to school, but it wasn't going well. So in September I transferred back up to Prescott and was living with mom, meanwhile Kip was still down in the valley. After months of weekend visits:


I HAVE FINALLY GRADUATED FROM BEAUTY SCHOOL!!


And have since then moved our stuff from up there to a cute little rental home here with my honey!! We are so excited to be under one roof again, and learned alot about eachother and about how strong love is throughout this process. We are hoping things will look up for us in 2009.

(Those wondering- no, we did NOT sell the house. With being on the market for almost a year with nothing we have decided to walk away, I know not the smartest thing to most of you. But it has probably been one of the best things we have done thus far!!)


Kip has been doing GREAT he is almost in his second semester at Chandler-Gilbert Community College underway to receiving an Associates Degree in Administrative Justice with a certificate in Forensic Investigations. He is loving it!!! He is working for the company he had been working for previous to us moving up to Prescott, and they are very busy and doing well, so Kip feels blessed to have a pretty stable job (& work) in such an unstable market.

Anyways so I have been really busy with making up hours at school, and haven't had much time, being at my mom's and now we don't have internet yet? But, I will try to do some more recent updates from the in-laws!! Thanks for checking on us y'all!




Lots of love from the RUSSELL PACK!



To infinity.... AND BEYOND!!!!

dear sweet jenny, there is NO shame in walking away from that house!! you did the right thing for your family and don't doubt it for a second! the market put you in this situation, not your fault. we also have tried to save our integrity hanging on to our house using visas and working extra jobs but may end up doing the same thing. when resources are exhausted and there is no other way we use our judgment to make the best decision possible. we look at things thru' our celestial eyes and know whats more important!! well, thats my 10cents worth of reassurance sweetie pie!! i love ya and soooo glad you found a cute cozy home to rent! jennifer b. thanks for the update! now i can stop bugging rhonda to ask you!
