Tonight's update

Renee and Jon are on their way to Colorado tonight. Their flight should leave around 9:50 and they will arrive in Colorado around 11:20 local time. When they arrive keys to an apartment and food cards from the college are waiting on them. They will be allowed to visit Jason tomorrow around lunchtime after speaking to the dectetive in the morning. Keep praying we are just so thankful that he is safe and alive.

JASON HAS BEEN FOUND!!! ALIVE!!!

It is with great joy and praise this morning that today's update is that Jason has been found. He is dehydrated and hungry but other than that seem to be more or less ok. We are lifting the highest praises to GOD for bringing our brother home safe. The family would like to ask for your continued prayers as our family sifts through the details but the details really do not matter to us at the moment. We know this is not the end of the road but yet the beginning of a new road for us that we will still need continued prayers. We would also ask for you to give us some space as we are dealing with this new situation. Thank you again for all the love and support that you have shown to our family. Please pass this information along to your friends and family and please give them our thanks.

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!

Tonight's Jason Update

It has been a long and emotional day for us all and we want to first say thank you for all the love and support that you have all given us. We still do not know anything about where Jason is or even have any clues where he may have gone. The Detective is working hard on the case and had even turned over some of his other workload to others to focus on Jason's case.

What we know right now is they have now searched his apartment and now found anything that would give us any clues and they have released some personal information to our family. They are going to continue the search for him in the parks surrounding the campus tomorrow. They are working hard on the case and using all the resources that they have.

We will post more information on the blog as we get it and use that as our central location. The blog links can be copied and pasted just as well as anything else and they are public access. Please continue to pray that Jason will be found as well as pray for our family for more strength as we are going through this tough time.

Many thanks.
The Cunningham Family

Please Contact Us

This is Jon Cunningham, Jason's older brother. I would like to speak with anyone who went to the field camp in Montana with Jason a few years ago. I need to know what stops you made and sites you visited please. Please repost this so as many people as possible so we can get this information retrieved quickly! Please call me at 770-842-5540 or e-mail at 3timestrouble@gmail.com

Morning Update

Still not any news from or about Jason. We are still keeping him in our prayers in hopes that he will be found soon. We will not hear from the detective until 11 local time because he has some meetings this morning but Jon was on the phone with him until well after midnight. They are doing everything in their power to find him. Please keep the family in your prayers as well. They really need prayers for strength. They are the best group of people and have already been through too much.

Today we are going to try to make the day as normal as possible for Alex. It is his field day at school so in an hour or two I will be heading to the school and away for the day. Please do not call my cellphone it is too hard to hide it from Alex. I will return to my computer after school and the best way to talk to me is to IM me on Facebook or to IM me on yahoo.Those things are easy to hide from Alex. He is a smart guy was up last night with a "tummy ache" we think that he is just reacting too much to the stress around him.

We have still not decided about church tonight but when we make a decision about it we will let everyone know. Jon wants to come home and stay by the computer and he is so afraid that someone is going to say something in front of Alex. Thank you for your continued prayers and love and support. The Cunningham Family is really overwhelmed with the amount of love that has been shown to us. Thank you all again there just are not enough words to express our thanks.

Update on Jason again.

Still no updates. Nothing new. We are just still sitting back waiting and praying. Jason if you can read this we love you and just want you to know that. Please let us know if you are alright.


Please also pray for our family for support. It is hard being so many states away and not knowing what is happening and having to talk to so many people back and forth on the phone. It is hard to play the waiting game. Renee, Jon, James, and Jim need your prayers as well as those that are standing behind them as they go through this.It is hard to see my husband and our family in so much pain. Thank you all for reposting and getting the message out. Words can not express what it means to our family.

Here is another reminder about what Jason looks like and some more information on him. http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coloradoan.com%2Farticle%2F20100427%2FUPDATES01%2F100427014%2FCSU%2520police%2520seek%2520public%2520s%2520help%2520locating%2520student%2520reported%2520missing%2520from%2520Fort%2520Collins%2520campus&h=6a30e

Who sent the tornado through my house?

My house is the biggest mess that you could ever see at the moment. We have not even recovered from vacation mess yet and now we are planning another trip this weekend to the lake for our big family reunion. It should be a lot of fun except the weather is calling for rain this weekend and we are tent camping. WOO HOOO! But first I have to start getting our house cleaned up so we can start getting our stuff together but at the moment I can't really get my butt off the couch to get started. That and as soon as one thing is clean Lil' Momma and Monkey Head mess it up as soon as I get it clean. Oh well. I guess it will get clean sooner or later.

Lil' Momma knows how to melt my heart

So today started out kinda rough when I found Lil' Momma in the corner of the hallway stuffing glue up her nose. Thankfully, it was the purple glue so it was easy to clean up and get out of her nose. I thought WONDERFUL! Is this going to be my day. Thankfully it wasn't. :) We had a good day after that. Breakfast together then lunch together then naps together. After Lil' Momma woke up from her nap she was in a lap sitting kinda mood, which was great because most of the time she is not a cuddle bug and wants to be left alone. Althought it did not last very long, it was nice having her sit in my lap for a bit.

She went to play and I went on with the DVR show that I was watching when all of a sudden she turned around from what she was doing and ran straight for me. She threw her arms around me and says, "I wub you, Mamda." I mean how much better than that could being a mommy be.

Our Vacation Journey

Day 1

The internet is hard to come by so we are having to find WiFi access points. We made it here safe and actually with good time. We only added an hour onto our trip in stops.


We have already spent the afternoon on the beach and the kids had fun playing in the sand. Abby went right up to the water running full force until she hit the VERY cold Atantic Ocean then it knocked her over and she decided that she was not going to have anything else to do with that.

Alex however had a blast playing in the ocean! He loved it even more when Daddy went into the ocean with him to play. They went far out and jumped waves.

The only downside besides the whole internet thing is that the a/c is not working in the room so Bill and Theresa are coming over tomorrow to look at it which is a good thing because we are looking forward to remeeting the folks that made our family vacation possible.

Jon, Christina, Alex, and Abby with our toes in the water and well you know the rest of the song....

Day 2

We are at the Panera Bread Company and we took today as a sight seeing day, after of course a trip to Walmart to get a fan and water and pacifiers (can you tell we are suffering?) After the needed trip we returned to the condo to put stuff up and then we were off. We went today to the peir which was sadly closed for painting and to the famous Daytona Boardwalk. The kids had a blast running up and down the boardwalk.


After that we got in the car and drove to the speedway to see it. We even got all the way to Dale Earnhart's Grandstand (from outside the fence) we decided that the tours cost too much for this trip and just drove all the way around it. We are actually setting across from it now eating lunch. We can see it. Alex thought it was cool and wanted to drive on the track. We told him that they prob would not let us. ;)

When we leave here we are headed back to get stuff situated for the beach and we will play until it is time to head down to Flager Beach to have dinner with friends. Tomorrow morning we are going to take pictures on the beach durning the sunrise since it is right in front of the condo.

It was absolutely wonderful to wake up the the sunrising over the ocean and we could look at it from our bed. It has been a great trip so far!

Until tomorrow! Love you bunches.

Jon the beach bum, Alex the wave runner, Abby the crabby sand crab, and Christina Beach Beauty.

Day 3

We have to head back to Walmart this morning to return the gate that broke after the 1st time we used it. The a/c is still not working but with the fan last night everyone was able to sleep better. They have an a/c repairman was coming this morning/afternoon but had a family emergency so he will not be here until tomorrow XX fingers that it will be an easy fix.


Good news we found the Krispy Kreme and we are waiting on the hot sign. ;) Jon says our eating out days are over for this trip because we brought all kinds of food that has not been used yet. Well we cooked breakfast yesterday and had cereal this morning be all the other meals have been away from the condo because it has been too hot.
After the Walmart trip we went to the lighthouse at Ponce Point and walked around there for a while. We did not go up because it had not opened yet and we found a really cool place while we were looking around the docks and such while we were waiting. They have a nature reserve place down here that reablilitates sea turtles. We had the best guide in the world and she taught us and answered every 1000 question that Alex asked. It was so worth the whole 12 bucks we paid and more! (the 12 bucks was for all of us)
After that we came back to the condo and had lunch and took naps and I finished my book and went in search of other things to do while the nappers were happening. It was a quiet day and very nice. The nicest part is sitting here at Panera Bread drinking my iced coffee and playing on the internet in QUIET and ALONE! We will most likely not update tomorrow because we are planning on spending the entire day on the beach!!! Then Friday we are up to Jacksonville. Then home on Saturday.
Until tomorrow!!!
Jon, Christina, Alex, and Abby (who has been ill as a hornet the entire trip)
 
Day 4
 
We thought that we had fixed the a/c last night but alas it did not work for more than a couple of hours. We thought that it might just be a clogged filter. The a/c guy is coming today (we hope) but I am guessing at this point it is not that big of a deal. We are leaving for Jacksonville tomorrow afternoon. The morning started out kind rough. Alex has a rash all over his back and chest. We are thinking that it might be the sunscreen and are going back to the Arbonne Sunscreen today. It has mostly went away with the dose of benadryl that we gave him.
Today we plan on spending most of the day at the beach and pool. Although we are headed to Krispy Kreme this morning to pick up donuts. ;) Tomorrow is cleaning day before we head on back up North. The only other bad part of the trip. :) It is not going to be that bad. I figured that I will clean up and send Jon down to the pool or the beach with the kids while I work on cleaning up. Or maybe I will send them to the park to play. I think it will be easier to clean up with out children under my feet.
Well that's it for today. Pray for no sunburns and for us to remember to reapply sunscreen today.
Until tomorrow!
Jon, Christina, Rashy Alex, and Cranky Abby
PS Just got done at KK. The hot sign was on! OH MY!!!! MMMMMMMMM

We did not write anything for Day 5 and 6 because we were traveling most of the day but you know it was a wonderful trip and we can't wait to go again. I even stood outside the house today while the wind was blowing and imagined that I was standing on the beach. It only worked for a moment until the pollen started hitting me in the face. Oh well...back to reality.

Until tomorrow~

Thankful Thursday

WOW! I have so much to be thankful for right now. I love my family! I love my friends! I love that it is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday and that start Spring Break! I love my church family! I love my God and he loves me!

In a world where there is so much to worry about there is a time in your life and my life that we just have to list it sometimes and just be thankful about life. My family is awesome! I have the best family ever! Big Daddy couldn't be any better, he has to be the best hubby ever. He is so kind and compassionate and holds to much love for me and our children. We have the best children ever also! Monkey Head is just so smart and loving and just growing up so fast! Lil' Momma is so funny and wonderful and just lights up our day. How could we not love our life.

I also have the best friends that call for coffee or just to check on me if I seem like I am having a bad day. Nothing like getting a phone call because of a Facebook post. They are always there for me. I could name them all by name but I am so lucky to have so many and those that I love so much know who they are. ;)

Tomorrow is Friday and the last day before Spring Break so guess where I will be all day long. If you guessed the school you got it right. It will be a full day of fun activities, dances, and egg hunts and a fun day! But after that and our 1/2 way busy weekend we will make our way to the beach! We can not wait it will be our first family vacation!!! Don't worry there will be lots of pictures!

Most of all I am thankful that I have a wonderful church family to help me in my spiritual walk and that Jesus is my Savior! Thank you God for sending your son to walk this Earth and show us how to do it. Thank you Jesus for giving your life to save mine! How awesome is that when we are celebrating his final days that tomorrow Good Friday he died and was buried but the grave could not hold him because he rose again and now sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty and one day he will come again. Thank you God for my life!

Until tomorrow!
