Just an update from the wonderful city of Natchez...
Things are going great and Zach and I are staying busy at work. As you can tell from the title of this blog, Zach has entered into the law world with a BANG. In fact, as of April 6, the Jex law office on Market street is officially open for business. (really, send everyone you know to see him!) We were so excited to have this opportunity open up and I know that this is the beginning of something great. Zach has a special talent that I only wish I had! He can walk into any situation (known or unknown) with all the confidence in the world, head held high, ready for anything! He has successfully completed some cases, is currently taking defense appointments through the court, and is building his name around town! I am so excited and proud of him for all of his hard work, it is paying off daily and I know he is really enjoying what he does. He told me the other day he really likes being an attorney in Natchez because he feels like he is getting an opportunity to really help people with his legal aid and council opposed to working for a big firm in a big city where there is little, if any, client interaction! We worked on Zach's office last night and I will post some pics soon!
I am a busy bee over at Cellular South as we are working hard on some upcoming events. One of which Zach and I are very excited about, the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. We are partnering with Zach's firm to host FREEDOM FRIDAYS at the store. Our theme is "Freedom from Cancer" and I have the store decked out in Red, White, and Blue. Each Friday we host a BBQ with tents, music, prizes, raffles for phones, and great food! On May 1st our team will participate in the all night walk! I am walking in memory of Papa Stan Ross and Randa Jex! If you would like to get involved or make a donation please email me (sjex@cellularsouth.com).
We are enjoying the weather as it is finally starting to feel like spring. I just joined the gym here and the classes are awesome...still sore from Monday! I do weights and classes there but I always do my cardio outside in this amazingly beautiful town. I can't resist it...I start at the gym...then a breezy run along the Mississippi and then I loop back to the house on the streets of beautiful 100+ year old homes. It is the highlight of my day (and I don't usually love running so that is a huge thing for me to say!) I was asked to join the Garden Club and I am excited to start that! The women in the Garden Club do amazing things for Natchez and are also in charge of receiving tourists at the historic homes as well as hosting the Pilgrimage (right now I am trying convince Zach to MC the 2010 pageant....maybe he will if I commit to wearing a hoop skirt and doing the Polka). I started painting again!!! It took a while to get settled into the new house and organize my studio...but I am back in business. I have 3 pieces in the works. (yes Cory, yours is one of them!)
This Easter weekend Zach is staying in Natchez to see a lot of old friends coming back for the holiday as well as eat crawfish with Holly and Parker at their pre-wedding party! I am headed home to Houston to see my parents and to meet Elle Lupher! Keep praying hard for the sweet baby girl, she is in the hospital but making awesome progress as we await next weeks heart surgery. Can't wait for the traditional Polish Easter morning borscht....yummmmmm!!!!
GET OFF YOUR KEESTER & HAVE A HOPPY EASTER!!!!

I loved making the Polish breakfast this year with Shannon here to enjoy it. It was a tribute to her grandpa Stan who we lost in November. He would be happy we made it! Except he would have used the real Horseradish root, not sauce. Mom (Lynell)
