1. Wow what a crazy several weeks or should I say month its been!
2. The first part of Novemember we started it off with the Staff Retreat and went to OKC for a few days, then came home just so Jeni and I could turn back around to take the teen girls on a shopping trip. All in all it was a fun and memorable time
3. Then we had the tri state preachers meeting and directly following that we started Revival with Bro. Jim Love.
4. Then it slowed down a bit just in time for our ladies night out! In preperation for that several of us ladies on the Heart to Heart committee put a video together. Our theme was Chocolate and we did something very similar to this video. (well I was going to upload it from youtube but couldn't get it to work. so if you'll just go to youtube and then type in Because of You chocolate you'll bring it up.) Once I get a copy of our video I'll post it on here for ya'll to see!
5. Then we had a turkey bowl for the young married class and that was fun.
6. This past Sunday Sid preached his first all day service in Elkhart, Ks. The pastor there was out of town and and asked if someone from our church would be willing to go there. We were the lucky ones. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I was truely blessed by the warm welcome we received! I am very proud of Sid he did an awesome job!
7. Now we are at the end of Novemember...wow where did it go?!? Tonight is our family feast at church and I'm looking forward to it. What an honor and blessing it is to be here in Liberal serving along the side of some amazing people! I never thought I would grow so attached to everyone here as quickly as I did! They are my family and will always be!
8. With Thanksgiving just a few short days away that means I get to start decorating for Christmas, yippie!!!! I'm so excited and I love this time of year!
9. Tomorrow Liz will drive in with Boomer and Ella and then we'll get up early Thursday morning to head to Wichita to see my mom, Bekah and the rest of the family!
10. Well I'm sure the next time I post it will be December! So Happy Thanksgiving and eat lots and lots of food!

2. A very good friend of ours is getting married this Friday. We are so very happy for him and his wife to be! I'm not looking forward to the 10 hour drive there nor the 10 hour drive on the way home but it'll be well worth it!
3. This summer as been a huge blessing to me! I've got to know some really great people, those that Sids known all his life! We are very blessed to have such a wonderful church family.
4. Baxter is getting so big! He started puppy food the other day so we are another week closer to bringing our little guy home!
5. If you haven't seen our Got Faith or Camp video go to our church website to see it. They are amazing! I even put a link for both of them on my facebook!
6. I worked at the ice box this evening! I always enjoy changing up my routine when I get the oppertunity.
7. I also picked up an app for a part time job. So we shall see where that leads
8. Speaking of leads Sid and I don't have any and after our Summer Internship is over we just might be staying in Liberal a little bit longer which is hunky dory with me! I love it here and think I say that more times than not!
9. I get to see my sweet lil' Macy Grace tomorrow night or atleast I hope so. Its been a week and thats just too long!
10. My birthday is a month away and I'm thinking its going to have to be a Birthday Month!!!! I'll be 25 so I'd love to do something big even if its going just to OKC!

Our 1st year
Wow where does the time go. Just one year ago today I was getting ready to marry my best friend. The day was full of tears, laughs, joy, excitement and much much more. I remember everything leading up to the ceremony and just about everything about the reception but not a thing about the ceremony itself. LOL So many things took place that day and it was one of the happiest days of my life. This last year as been amazing and I'm more in love with my husband than I was on our wedding. I fall in love with him more and more every day and I couldn't imagine a day without him. God has blessed me with him and I'm so thankful for him. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him and growing old beside him.
And Mindy thank you, thank you, thank you, for such beautiful wedding pictures! I can't say thank you enough! I will be forever greatful!!!!
Thank you baby for an incredible 1st year! I love you!!!

I'm a mommy
to a shih tzu puppy!!! My childhood best friend's dog Bailey had puppies yesterday. Sid and I are taking one of the boys and we've named him Baxter. I can't wait to see him, I'll be going down Monday but that seems like forever away! LOL As soon as I get pictures I'll post them!
I can't believe I'm going to be having a puppy, grant it, its still going to be another 8-10 weeks before Baxter gets to come home but I'm stoked! I've wanted a dog for a very long time! :) Yay!

1. Wow I can't believe its Tuesday already!
2. Sid and I got new phones yesterday and we officially have a kansas number...How weird is that?
3. This week is just going to fly by with Liberty starting tomorrow night.
4. I'm so excited for Liberty...I've heard so much about it and I get to play a part in it by being in the choir now if I can only keep from crying.
5. Dress rehearsal was tonight and there were several times that I got choked up and tears in my eyes. We will be honoring two soldiers from Liberal who have died by doing the folding of the flag. Then right after that we go straight into the Armed Force medley and that just chokes me up with pride.
6. Sunday night we had the JR High over and it was a blast and I'm so glad that we did the little get together! I love the young people, just love them.
7. I got my hair cut and I do mean cut!
8. here is a picture...
9.It is now Wednesday and I'm just finishing up this blog. I've been terrible at this!

Macy Grace
I just love her to pieces! For the last few days I've been with her a good portion of the day and I just love it! I love being able to love on her and spoil her I mean that is what aunts are for, right. Oh and Sid he just adores her and its oh so cute to see him with her!
And right now as I write this she is sitting in my lap playing. She was on the floor playing and talking but then she army crawled over to me and I just had to pick her up. She is so precious and we've had a fun couple of days playing and singing.
Uncle Sid just got home and Macy loves him and she'll just watch his every move. How cute is that?!

10 on Wednesday now Thursday
1. Ok so I know this is supposed to be 10 on Tuesday but yesterday just slipped right on by and before I knew it, it was Wednesday.
2. We had lunch at the park. On Wednesdays during the summer theres Picnic at the park and different people or groups are the entertainment. Our choir was the entertainment for the hour and we sang four songs from our Liberty program.
3. Speaking of Liberty...I'm pretty proud of myself for learning all the music in such a short time. The choir has been practicing since Febuary and I didn't get the music till I came here which was at the end of May. So yes I'm bragging that I learned a ton of music in just a months time, now if I could only get over this sinus/cold thing I have!
4. Sid preached and did a great job! I'm so proud of him and love him more and more every day!
5. Its so stinkin HOT here!!! I step outside and I just start sweating and I hate it. I'd rather it be spring when the temps are just perfect!
6. I love Liberal!!!! I didn't know that I'd fall in love with the town, church and people as fast as I did but I did and I'm so glad that God has us here!!!
7. This is a shout out to those you read my blog that I don't get to see. I think of you all often and miss you all dearly. Love ya!
8. What with all the exclamation points...haha!!!
9. My sweet niece has the cutest thunder thighs and rolls a baby could have! I just love them!!!!
10. Have a wonderful and blessed rest of the week and weekend!

10 on Tuesday!
1. Well for starters its been a really long time since I've done this. So lets just see how well I do.
2. Like I mentioned in an earlier post we just got back from camp and I had a wonderful time! I love the girls and am so thankful that we have a bond.
3. I'm sick! I think its just from such a drastic weather change. Going from Kansas to Colorado back to Kansas. Colorado was so cool and then you get back here and its so dry and HOT!
4. Last night I went and watched some movies with a few of the teenager girls and had a great time!
5. Feeb's mom makes some amazing chocolate chip cookies and I do mean AMAZING!
6. I've got a ton of laundry to do yet I don't feel like doing any of it! :( I'm extremely tired and just want to be lazy.
7. Bennett was born last Tuesday and he's adorable! There were some issues but he's doing much better and is at home at last! I look forward to seeing him!!!!
8. Macy Grace is practicaly crawling and that makes me sad. She's growning up way too fast. I just feel fortunate that we get to be here and see these things in person.
9. Liberty is coming up and I've still got so much to learn before then. For the most part I've got most of the songs down except for one and thats Salute to the Armed Forces. I don't know any of it. LOL Oh boy I really do have a lot to learn! YIKES!!!!
10. I'm blessed! I've got a wonderful husband and in just a few short weeks we'll have been married for a year! I just can't believe how fast its gone by!

Camp
First I want to say that I'm exhausted but it was well worth it! I loved every minute of camp and I have a love for all the teens especially the girls that I never thought I'd have especially in such a short period of time!Sid and I drove the van with the JR & SR High boys. They cracked me up and I even told them that I think they talk more than the girls! They didn't believe me but its true, it was never silent on the way to camp nor on the way home. LOL
We left for Silver State Baptist Youth Camp Sunday June 7th and got there around 9:30. The weather was nice, a tad cold but nothing a hoody and blanket couldn't take care of. The speakers were all amazing, at the hillside services we had Bro. Wes Stevens from Perryton, TX and Bro. Joel Travis missionary to Nepal. Then Bro. Bill Marshall did the chapel and evening services. What extraordinary men they all are. All the messages were huge blessings to me and I know it was just what the young people and adults alike needed to hear.
Camp this year was much different for me. One reason is because it had been 7 years since I've been and second it was the first year for me to go with a different role as a counselor. What a huge blessing it was for me to be there for our young people. I was able to see how they really want change in their lives and we've all told them that it isn't going to be easy and that Satan is going to be doing his best to attack and tear us all down but we're here for them and praying for them. Our young people have great potential and I just know that God is going to use each and everyone of them.

Ok so its been a while...
and I apologize for that. Its been super crazy! Sid graduated, then we moved to Liberal, KS last friday May 22nd. We are slowly but surely getting unpacked and settled in. There is still a ton of little things to be done but I'm not in any hurry I mean why should I be when I get the oppertunity of being a stay at home wife. hehe
Sid is doing a summer internship at his home church, we will be helping with VBS, SR camp, I'm in Liberty, and there is Jr. Camp and I'm sure there will be many other things we'll help with.
I will take pictures of our house and hopefuly get them posted next week.

1. Well Sid did it!!! He graduated from Heartland on Thursday and I couldn't have been any prouder!
2. With that being said it was a very long night. After graduation we went to dinner with the families and was with them till almost 11 and then after that we met up with a group of friends for our final goodbyes at IHOP. We were there til 2:00 AM
3. It was a great time of fun and fellowship and who knows if or when we'll ever get to do this again.
4. Our place is in total disarray. We've got things everywhere. Although I can honestly say that everything is packed other than our clothes and then I just need to vacuum and wash everything down.
5. Thursday is our last day at work! It couldn't come any faster LOL. Then we are going to go over to the Lusk for dinner and fellowship. I'm really looking forward to it. They are an amazing couple and I know Sid and I have been truely blessed with their friendship!
6. Friday is moving day! Yikes its actually here! We are about to step into the next chapter in our life. I'm a little scared but very much excited at the same time!
7. Ok this isn't going to make it to 10 I'm doped up on meds and can't think straight...haha So keep an eye out for my next post!

Happy Mother's Day
Today Sid and I got up got ready and hit the road. We went to Duncan to suprise mom and it was great! I walked in and she just stared at me! LOL It was great. Then I sang "Handful of Weeds" for her. I did my best but didn't make it through without getting choaked up. The chorus says..."She's the one who told me about Jesus, She's the one who taught me to sing. She derseves an armful of roses but she's satisfied with a handful of weeds."
My mom is an amazing woman and I'm very proud to say that she is my mom.
I love you, Mom!
To all the other moms out there I hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day because you all deserve it!

10 on Tuesday
1. So we still have a lot of packing to do and honestly we haven't done much of anything. We did get rid of 5 containers when Sids childhood best friend was in town Saturday but it doesn't look like anything was accomplished. :/
2. I have finally resolved my dress issue that I was having for banquet. Several months ago I found this charcoal grey Vera Wang dress at a thrift store. Its in perfect conditions just too big on the top. I had all intentions to get it altered but I didn't. So I was fretting over it. I then decided to wear the dress I wore for Chaylas wedding but that didn't end up working, so then I tried Bekah's dress from my wedding and I looked like a rectangle box! LOL I looked and looked for something else with no luck so back to my first dress.
3. The dress was originally made to tie behind the neck so I took those straps and handstitched them to the back of the dress making actual straps. Then I took some black satin material and added it to the top of the dress. It turned out pretty good or atleast I think it did. I'll take pictures Friday and then post them for you all to see.
4. last Thursday Renee and Tyler had their last blast party at the Bittners. It was a lot of fun. Renee made a video with pictures from that last four years and it was amazing! She did a fantastic job. Now if she'd only post it online for everyone to see. ;)
5. Friday we got together with Lindsay and JJ, Tyler and Renee and just had a great time of food, fun and fellowship. I'm really going to miss them but I know I'll be back to see them and everyone else.
6. Finals week...for Sid that is! :) He is just about done with college! As everyone knows I only went a semester and it just happened to have been the same time that he started this journey. When we started dating I had asked him if he even remembered me from that semester and of course he didn't. Unlike me I knew who he was but honestly never ever thought I would have married him.
8. As I look back at the past four years I'm amazed at where I am. God allowed me to meet some wonderful people. People who will be in our lives forever. One that comes to my mind at this very moment is Michael. He is more than just a friend but family! Sid and Michael interned the summer between their Sophomore and Junior year and every since he's been apart of our lives.
9. I'm sure I'll blog something special re: Mothers Day but I want to go ahead and say what an amazing mom I have! I couldn't have asked for anyone better...I've said this for that last few years and its true but she's the glue in our family! She's so giving and loving and she'd do anything for any of us girls or anyone in particular.
10. I love you Mom!!!! ((HUGS))

Sid and Michael interned the summer between their Sophomore and Junior year and every since he's been apart of our lives.
9. I'm sure I'll blog something special re: Mothers Day but I want to go ahead and say what an amazing mom I have! I couldn't have asked for anyone better...I've said this for that last few years and its true but she's the glue in our family! She's so giving and loving and she'd do anything for any of us girls or anyone in particular.
10. I love you Mom!!!! ((HUGS))

Long time no see...
I'm still here and I'm terribly sorry for not blogging in such a long time. Work has been extremely busy and I'm so thankful that today has been more on the down low. Not only has work been busy but very stressful!!!!
Last weekend I went to Amarillo to see Liz and just have a great time. While there I got my hair done. I am now a brunette and absolutely LOVE it! Chayla is the best hairstylist in the world! :)
I will do my best to do my 10 on Tuesday next week but until then have a fantastic weekend!

10 on Tuesday
1. Well we've made it to another week!
2. It was Easter Weekend, which means it was our 1st one has a married couple. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary though. I made roast one of Sid's favorite dinners then watched a little bit of golf with him before I went to take a nap.
3. Speaking of golf, sid and I went to the driving range...that was a ton of fun. I even got a few balls off the ground and into the air! Sid loves golfing and I wanted to go do something that he enjoys along side him.
4. Friday night the youth from Sid's home church came in for an all night activity. We met up with them at Incredible Pizza and then went on to Laser Quest. Sid and I eventually left around 3:30 Saturday morning! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that we went.
5. At work Jehan and I are having a contest to see how many interviews we can get set for today and tomorrow and then again next Tuesday and Wednesday and then we'll see how many of them actually come in. The winner will get $250...so who is going to win?!?!? ME!!!! LOL
6. So the other night I got a little sad and you know what it was over?!?! It wasn't over the possability of leaving friends or family but over leaving our first home as a married couple. Ok so I may be a little weird but I can't help it and I think of the little things. :)
7. We still have no leads just for those who may be curious.
8. Its beautiful outside and I wish I could be out there instead of in here but I must work.
9. I'm getting my hair done on Friday and I'm super excited!!! I can't wait its been so long since I've had it done at least by my best friend. I'm also excited to see Chayla, Liz and the second family!!!
10. I'm leaving you with a chorus that we sing a lot in church that I just love...
"He is Alive! No grave could keep my Lord; He is alive! New life He gives. He is Alive! He rose up on that Easter morn. He is alive! My Saviour lives."

10 on tuesday
1. WoW, its been crazy the past couple of weeks! Its finally starting to slow down a tad.
2. This past weekend my baby sister came up and spent the weekend with Sid and I. Rebekah and I went shopping and just had a great time of bonding. It was fun!
3. One Tree Hill junkies...yes Sid and I have become huge fans. We just started watching this season and enjoyed it so much that we borrowed the first four seasons that Rebekah owns. We enjoyed them so much that we watched all 4 seasons in less than a 2 week time span. LOL I know we're crazy. Oh but wait it gets better...we bought season 5 off of ebay!
4. We've got 5 weeks till Sid's graduation! Can you believe that, just 5 weeks?!?!?!
5. We still have no leads of where we might go after graduation, but thats ok its in God's control. I can honestly say that I'm not worried nor stressed over it! I mean why should I be? God knows where he wants us and in His timing he'll show us. So all I can do is pray about it and that is exactly what I'm doing!
6. I never did fill you all in on the Gaither concert! It was AMAZING! I got Mark Lowry to sign something wishing mom a happy birthday and of course got my picture with him. I also met Karen Peck and New River, The Hoppers and of course we saw Signature Sound again. Everyone that we spoke with were oh so genuine and down to earth.
7. Just found out that another friend of mine is having a boy! Congrats Trisha and Tyson, I know how much ya'll were wanting a boy! :)
8. You would think that I would have a million things to say since I haven't posted anything in a while but I don't...I'm pulling a blank. LOL
9. I'm getting my hair done a week from Friday! I'm super excited 1. because it my best friend who is doing it and I trust her. 2. I get to see Liz, Chayla and Trisha! This is going to be fun!
10. Sunday is Easter! It doesn't even seem like its that time of the year already, it ALWAYS catches me off guard. LOL
Until Next Time...

18 Candles!
18 years ago today my baby Sister was brought into this world. She was our rollie pollie and my baby doll! I think just about everytime she cried I was at her beckon call. LOL There is this one picture of me and her when she was two I think and I'm holding her and we're snuggling...its my favorite pictures of us. I'll have to find it so I can post it on here.
So Happy 18th Birthday Bekah! I love you!
Apology
I've been a terribly blogger these last few weeks and I apologize. Work as been super busy and crazy. Last week alone I put in 63 hours at the office. Last week we had a huge training and there were 18 people. So with that we had kits and books to put together and then over the weekend there were 13 or 14 sales, therefore this week we had to process them and get paperwork finished and sent to the finance companies. So like I said its been crazy.
Other than work life has been great. I had a very lazy weekend with the hubby and all we did was watch One Tree Hill. I love that show and not sure why I never watched it until now. LOL We're total junkies for the show. haha :)
Oh and Sid graduates 42 days!!! Seriously where has the time gone?!?!

I have the best husband!
I got off work and called him to see what he wanted for dinner since I didn't lay anything out and he said dinner was taken care of. I was a little shocked but was like ok and in the back of my mind figured it was pizza. I know I didn't give him enough credit. LOL So when I got home and saw that he was cooking I lit up. The best thing is...is that he made it by following a recipe and it was something neither of us tried. Oh man was it good too! I'm so proud of him I even took a picture of it. I know I'm retarded but none the less I was proud! 
so here it is after we dug in! :)

10 on Tuesday
1. So this past week not a whole lot happened so I really don't know if I'll get 10 things put down but I'll do my best.
2. Our missions conference was awesome! It went from Wednesday March 4th through Sunday March 8th.
3. Saturday I went to the Ladies luncheon at church with Lindsay and really had a great time. I'm glad that I decided to go. It was just a great time of fellowship!
4. After the luncheon Lindsay and I went to some antique shops on Main Street in Bethany! I saw many great ideas! I love being able to just stroll down a main street and going inside all the little boutiques.
5. The weather here has been awesome and so beautiful! I love spring time but it looks like its going to get cold again for a few days! :( So not looking forward to that.
6. Next Thursday is the Gaither Homecoming Concert and I've said it a million times but I'm so excited and can't wait! I'm sure my mom will cry sometime during the concert just for the fact that she's actually there! LOL
7. Tomorrow March 11th, Sid and I will have been married for 8 months...WoW where has the time gone? It still feels like it was just yesterday that we got married and we are getting closer and closer to our 1st year! There are times when I still feel like its just a dream
8. I love blogging even if it seems like I don't have much to say since I kinda live a boring life.
9. I also enjoy reading others and it gives me something to do on my downtime at work.
10. Well I made it...So have a wonderful and blessed week!

9 weeks...
Thats right, Sid will graduate in just 9 weeks! Whoa, how crazy does that seem?!?!?!?!?!?!
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
10 on Tuesday
Well its another week and that brings us to another 10 on Tuesday. So here we go...
1. My weekend was pretty uneventful just like almost every weekend except on Saturday we had Sid's childhood best friend Joel and his fiance Elizabeth come over for dinner. I made lasagna, salad, garlic bread and strawberry shortcakes...yummy!
2. Then we just sat around the table talking before heading to the school for Sid's basketball game. It wasn't the best game they've played and therefore they lost but there's always next time.
3. Our missions conference begins tomorrow and goes through Sunday. I've very excited and really looking forward to it.
4. There's this guy that I work with and JJ (my friend Lindsay's hubby) has been trying to get him to come to church. He says he'll try to come this Sunday so just pray that he will!
5. 2 weeks from Thursday is the Gaither concert and I'm stoked about it. I think I'm more stoked because this is something my mom's wanted to do for as long as I can remember and we've given her the opportunity to do so. Its going to be so much fun and I can't wait!
6. Sid graduates in 9 weeks and 2 days!!! Yes you read that right! I was looking at my calendar the other day and I realized that. I knew it was getting closer and closer but when you look at in how many weeks its a lot closer than one could imagine.
7. I'm so excited and proud of all that Sid has accomplished. I'm also scared, a little nervous, and sad all at the same time. This part of our journey is about to come to an end just for another one to begin!
8. Ok, I'll try not to make the last 3 entries all about the Bachelor but I can't promise anything. I'll start off by saying WoW!!!! I never expected for it to end the way it did and it was definetely different.
9. When Molly stepped out of the limo first my heart sank because I really liked her and thought she was a better fit for Jason than Melissa. I even thought he was going to pick her but I think when Deanna came and gave him her advise, he lost his focus. So picking Melissa at the end was sad for me but the whole time I couldn't help but think he was making a mistake. Then came the after the final rose show and to all of America's surprise he said that things were different with Melissa and what he felt for her on the show wasn't how he felt for her now and he broke up with her.
10. I kinda saw that coming but not in front of so many viewers. Then when he confonted Molly and told her he still had feelings for her and wanted to just take it slow and see where things lead....WoW...I was shocked just like Molly was but I knew she truely loved him or atleast the part that she got to know, you could just see it in her eyes. So I will watch the 2nd after the rose show tonight...Yes I'm sucked into the show! :( LOL ;)
So there you have it my 10 on Tuesday. I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week!

No 10 on Tuesday
I started a 10 on Tuesday but then got so busy never was able to finish it. So instead I want to leave this with everyone. I hope its a blessing to you as it was to me.
My life I give to You O Lord,
Use me I pray,
May I glorify Your precious name,
In all I do and say,
Let me trust You in the valley dark,
As well as in the light,
Knowing You will always lead me,
Your will is always right.
I know God makes no mistakes,He leads in every path I take,
Along the way that’s leading me to home,
‘Though at times my heart would break,
There’s a purpose in every change he makes,
That others would see my life and know
That God makes no mistakes.
And when some day in Heaven above,
I see His dear face,
May I then be counted faithful,
As a runner in this race,
Now I’m trusting in the Savior,
To show me the way,
In His righteousness He guides me,
As I seek to please Him day by day
My life I give to You O Lord,
Use me I pray,
May I glorify Your precious name,

10 on Tuesday
1. Today is Pancake Day!!!!! LOL, Tuesday was actually and my wonderful hubby brought me pancakes for breakfast! How sweet it is to be in love by him! :)
2. I made homemade noodles for Chicken and Noodles on Sunday morning before church. Yes, me! I got up at 6:45 and made the noodles from scratch along with a dessert that I had never. It all turned out out great and I made it to SS on time...Yay me!!!!
3. Work...has been crazy and in a good way. I've been so busy that its not even funny and yet I still have time to write this. LOL
4. It is now Wednesday and I'm just now coming back to it, my S-I-L gave me the inspiration to do it.
5. Last night I went over to practice the song Linds and I are going to sing in SS on March 8th
6. Then after that she and I stood outside talking for like 30 minutes or so. I love talking to her, she's a huge blessing to me and I feel like I've known her forever.
7. I got the tulle to make Macy Grace(my niece) a tutu. She's going to have an OU one and another one that is turquoise and brown.
8. I scared my hubby the other day and laughed so hard that I was crying. Good times!!!
9. God blessed me with a wonderful mom and two great sisters and now I've got a wonderful husband and AWESOME in-laws.
10. I LOVE my life and I honestly mean it. I wouldn't change anything about my life. God has allowed me to go through certain circumstances to learn from them and to just come out stronger in the end.

10 On Tuesday
1. So its another week and I'm going to do my best to come up with 10 things to say because has of right now there's nothing! Haha
2. Last night was the Bachelor and I think they really love to have us all just hanging there. In last weeks preview they showed Deanna coming back yet did she???? NO!!! Now its showing that she'll be on next week. Dang it, they better not be lying to me again!
3. Re: the Bachelor I was totally taken back that Jillian had been sent home, I just had this aweful feeling that it was going to be Mollie. It was really sad but at the same time I think Jason made a good decision.
4. Saturday was Valentine's Day just like everyone knows and Sid and I did ABSOLUTELY nothing which was totally awesome. We just stayed in bed and watched movies pretty much all day. It was very relaxing!
5. Friday I came home to Pink Roses and a box of mini Reeses! Sid totally surprised me with the flowers and they are beautiful! I love my hubby!!!!
6. Grey's Anatomy....I totally love that show. For the last few weeks they've been combining it with Private Practice and man has it been good. This week will end the storyline for the two shows to be combined and it looks like its going to be in sane! Can't wait!!!!
7. I'm really looking forward to singing with my dear friend Lindsay on Sunday March 8th in our SS class. We're singing "Here Am I" We figured it would be perfect since its during our Missions conference.
8. My mom and sisters will be here in OKC in 4 weeks from Thursday for the Gaither Concert so way excited about that!
9. I need to clean my apartment really really bad!!!! There are no excuses on why its the way it is. :(
10.Well, I finally made it to 10 and I'm at a loss. I don't know what else to say. So I'll just wish each and everyone of ya'll a wonderful week! Enjoy everyday that you have!
2. Last night was the Bachelor and I think they really love to have us all just hanging there. In last weeks preview they showed Deanna coming back yet did she???? NO!!! Now its showing that she'll be on next week. Dang it, they better not be lying to me again!
3. Re: the Bachelor I was totally taken back that Jillian had been sent home, I just had this aweful feeling that it was going to be Mollie. It was really sad but at the same time I think Jason made a good decision.

10 on Tuesday
1. So last night I watched the Bachelor and can I say OMG! In the very beginning they showed something...someone and I just knew that it was Deana. Well last night in the preview they showed her and she comes back. What does this mean you may ask? Well not sure and I kinda have mixed feelings about it but I really like Deana and still think that her and Jason make the best couple from the ones that are left. But if Deana's not in the picture then my pick is Mollie
2. I'm so glad that Jason got rid of Naomi, I really didn't think she was the right fit for him and like he said I don't think she was really ready for his life with Ty. She said she wants a family but that doesn't automatically mean your ready for a family.
3. This weekend was the Affair of the Heart and I went with Renee, Trisha and her gang. It was so much fun and I saw so many ideas that I want to try and do...so lets just see if I do any of them.
4. At the craft show it was like everywhere you turned there was a booth with little tutu's and my little niece would look oh so cute in one and I believe her mommy would take some really cute pictures with her in it. :)
5. I can't wait for a certain day to be here...I'm so excited and look forward to blogging about it...and no I'm not prego mom or Aunt Berta!(So stop guessing that, Please)
6. Some may not know but I love crafty things and doing craft projects. I may not be the good and they may not turn out the greatest but I love it none the less.
7. I also like looking for themes to do with Ladies ministries or like more recently trying to help my Aunt come up with a name for her churches coffee cafe. Its fun and I love doing things like that.
8. Man, I'm running out of things to say...
9. I got a $1 raise yesterday that will go into effect on the 16th when our new pay period starts. I'm pretty excited.
10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y01rx_XzQ34 today I'm leaving you with a link to Chris Tomlin's song "Amazing Grace" May it be a blessing to you!

2. On Monday 1/26 we had our first actual winter storm. It started with ice and lots and lots of ice that lasted all night and into the morning. Then it turned over to sleet by late afternoon on Tuesday and finished with a little bit of snow. It turned out pretty but I hate ice!!!
3. Due to the weather work had been canceled for 2 days.
4. I realized that I can't wait to be able to stay home and take care of our future babies. :)
5. I'm so proud of Liz and the woman she's becoming
6. Rebekah is a doll, she's gonna let me borrow all the seasons of One Tree Hill...yay!
7. I've had lots of work to do and it feels good
8. I miss my hubby...LOL he's only at work and I get to see him tonight
9. My beautiful niece is growing like a weed!
10. I'm so ready for the weekend and the 1st of Febuary. LOL :)

10 On Tuesday
1. This is for you Mindy :)
2. I'm at work doing nothing just like normal
3. I'm stoked about this weekend. We are going to Wichita, KS to see Signature Sound for Sid's birthday, so I can't wait for that.
4. I'm also very excited about something else but we'll all just have to wait for a later post on that one and no I'm not pregnant mom!
5. I have the most adorable little niece in the world and I'm not just saying that to be biased.
6. I'm very excited about this weekend!
7. I need to get my bangs cut and hair layered some more but most importanly I need to get my bangs cut. If you were to see me you'd say "What bangs?", thats how bad it is.
8. I still can't believe two of my friends are expecting their first baby this summer. One is due in June and the other is due in August. Its just crazy especially when they both said they wanted to wait for a while, God had other plans for them though.
9. Looking forward to Friday, the day Sid was born 22 years ago. Yes I married myself a baby. LOL, but who cares about age its so over rated and he's the love of my life.
10. Um...have I mentioned that I'm very excited for this weekend?? :)

Holiday Seasons are Over...
I finally got my tree and all my Christmas decor down and packed away for another year. It was sad in a way having to pack it all up because that means our first Christmas is over and there won't be another "Our 1st Christmas"
This week officially starts the semester, Sid's last semester. What a scary and exciting time it is. Its exciting because Sid has worked so hard for this day to come and I'm so proud of him. It's also exciting because school will be behind us and we'll start another phase on our journey but its scary at the same time. We don't have any idea or leads as of right now. All we can do is pray for God's leading and direction. So pray with us as we seek His guidance

Blessed
I'm just sitting here thinking about the past and I've got to say I've got two amazing sisters. We may not always get along and we don't get to see each other as often but I know we love each other and if we needed to we'd drop everything to be there for one another.
"God made us sisters but we're friends by choice" and thats so true. I've had many friends come and go in my life but the ones that will ALWAYS be there are my sisters.
Liz and I have a special bond...we lived together on our own for two years and lived to tell about it. :) We had our ups and downs but honestly I wouldn't have wanted to have it any other way. Those were some great times with many memories made. I can honestly say that I miss those days and I will always cherish that time!
I love you sisters!!!

Sick...
I've been sick the last few days so have nothing to say and don't want to bore ya'll to pieces.
Mindy, I think I fixed it so you'll have to try and post a comment. If it still doesn't work then you've got me and I don't know what else to do.

One of my best friends got married in March, I got engaged in March, another good friend got married in April, I moved in June, got married in July and in November came our beautiful little niece Macy Grace! And those are just a few things to name.
I feel so blessed and have God to thank for everything. I hope and pray that 2009 is just has fun filled as 2008 was. I'll leave you all with some pictures.
I was sick so don't mind how nasty I look..hehe
