Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope that each and every one of you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! My sister Janae is coming here to spend it with me. I have been shopping to get groceries for the "big" dinner and then I got some of her favorite snacks. I know...pat myself on the back for being such an awesome big sis! HAHA Thank you Janae for coming to keep me company this weekend!! I love you!!
I have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!! God has truly blessed me and I have nothing to complain about. I have a wonderful husband who I'm very proud of!! Marcus I love you with all my heart! Thank you for loving me and taking care of me. Thank you for serving this country so I can live free. I wish that you were here with me on this holiday but since you aren't I hope that you have a good day and that they feed you some half way descent food. When you get home I will make sure that I fix you a big turkey dinner because I know that you are really missing it this year, if I could I would have fixed it and shipped it to you!! I love you Marcus!!
I have great parents!! They have been through a living nightmare this past year and a half but have been true examples of what a Christian should be through it all. We have had ups and very low downs and at times thought we saw the light at the end of the tunnel only for it to go dark again and we take several steps backwards!! But last week God worked a huge miracle and the nightmare is over!! Thank you Mom and Dad for being great examples to your family. Thank you for caring for and loving us and accepting Marcus and Brent into the family and loving them as if they were your own. We love you!!!
I have four cool sisters and one cool brother in law!! We don't always get along but hey what siblings ALWAYS get along. Jalynn is going to be giving me another nephew in January and we are excited for that. Brent you are an awesome brother in law and alot of fun to be around. Janae, you are a blast to be around and we have so much fun when we are together. Jill I don't get to see you much but I still think you are the best little sister and I wish that we could live closer and go shopping!!
God has been so good to Marcus and I this year. We have a beautiful home, a car to drive, food to eat, a beast of a dog and last but not at all least....we have each other. What more can you ask for!! We serve an awesome God!!
I hope that you all have a great holiday and that you eat lots of turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie!! Think of all our service men and women this holiday season...I know that they all miss home and wish that they were sitting at the table loaded with food. We miss you Marcus and can't wait until the day you come home!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVNG ALL!!!

Photo Shoot!

My friend is trying to expand her portfolio and so took these pictures of me and Gunner! I wanted some to send to Marcus! It was alot of fun but Gunner wanted to play more then take pictures!! Oh well!

Happy Fall!!

I thought this was really good and thought I would share. I think that it would be a good object lesson for a juniors class or something!! I hope that you are all enjoying the fall weather and falling leaves!!

A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

Tears

This week has been a little rough for me. I have really been missing Marcus alot. I went to the Christian bookstore this week and bought a new CD and put it in on the way home and heard this song and I cried all the way home. It has really been a blessing to me and I wanted to share it with you and I hope that it will be a blessing to you too. I hope that you all have a good weekend!

Tears are a language
Often you've wondered why tears come into your eyes
And burdens seem to be much more than you can stand.
But God is standing near, He sees your falling tears.
Tears are a language God understands.

When grief has left you low, it causes tears to flow.
When things have not turned out the way that you had planned.
But God won't forget you, His promises are true.
Tears are a language God understands.

God sees the tears of a broken-hearted soul.
He sees your tears and hears them when they fall.
God weeps along with man and takes him by the hand.
Tears are a language God understands.

Yummy!!

How would you like to see this appear on your table? This is one of the meals that Marcus had on one of his stops! I can't believe that he ate it! I think that I would have sent it back and asked for a grilled cheese sandwich or something! UGH!
