Being the teacher...
I have a few minutes before I leave for the weekend to write! In a previous blog I wrote about me being a temp! Well, my time is up...kind of...I am training a lady for my position. It is kind of sad because I really like my job. She is really nice and easy to teach! It's a little different me teacher her, especially since she could be my mom...but she said that I'm a good teacher and they should just hire me to do what I'm doing and then let her do the other things that they need her to do! I AGREE! My boss is trying to figure out a way to keep me, but she said it's up to her boss! I believe it's up to my BOSS (GOD)! He will make a way for me to either have this job or He will find me something else that is even better!!! Well, it's time to go! Yeah, it's the weekend (for me anywayz)! We will have Jax tonight til Sunday! Nicole is taking swimming lessons so we don't get to see her this week! Love you all!!

Scripture for the day:
Ephesians 2:10

Baptizing or Drowning??
Well as most of you know when you ask Jesus into your heart you are suppose to get baptized. Wednesday night at our church 2 people got baptized! Praise the Lord!! Well my baby sister, Nicole, (she's 4 yrs. old) was there and was watching with a serious look on her face! She looked up at me and asked, "What are they doing?" I said, "When you ask Jesus in your heart then you get baptized." I couldn't go into detail because it was the middle of church. She looked up again and said,"Is there water in there?" I said yes and thought no more about it. After that I noticed that she acted very strange. Well, she lives with our Mema and she told me today that Nicole thinks Pastor was drowning them!!! Poor girl...if you look it from a 4 year old's perspective then that's what it looks like! We have church tonight and I'll have her this week, so tonight we are going to talk to Pastor and have him explain it to her!!! Well, I better get to lunch!

~God Bless~

Father's Day...
Hello again! I am about to leave work, but I will give you a quick run down about Father's Day! My honnie has to work on the weekends now so I didn't really get to spend the day with him. He told me not to do anything for him, but I made him one of his favorite dinners and I figured we could get a movie of HIS choice and watch it after dinner! So we decided to go to town and get a movie from our local Hastings! On the way we passed the movie theater and he freaked out! 'Over the Hedge' was playing and he just had to see it!!! I said..."Shouldn't we wait for the kids?" He said, "We can bring them later"...with an excited look on his face! So of course I agreed and we went to see it! Needless to say after paying for the movie, drinks, and popcorn, it was like a $20.00 movie!!!! Not that I'm to much into prices, but for Mother's day he completely bombed!!!! He waited until the last min and then got me a candle! I wont go into detail, but I will say that the year before when he forgot was better than this year!!! Ok, enough about that! He did really good yesterday! Out of the blue he sent me a HUGE bouquet of flowers!!! My co-worker thinks it's becasue I took him to the movie!!! LOL! I told him it was because my husband is a sweetheart! So he made up for Mother's Day! Well, it's 5 p.m. so I better get home and get ready for church! My honnie is singing tonight too! ;-0 (him singing)

God Bless <><

Busy, Busy, Busy...
The last post I wrote was last month!!! I wish I had more time to write! Anyways, I am at work and I have a few minutes before I leave! Since I am a Temp, I have to keep looking for a job and in about 10 minutes I am leaving to go take a test for a new job! I was told it would probably take an hour and a half, but when I called today she said that she didn't that would be enough time!!! I am going and I pray that it will be! My Mema's b-day is today and I have to go to her party at 5:30! Anyways, prayfully next time I write I will have that new job and can tell you all about it! I better get going!

I Gotta JOB!
It's been forever since I've wote but I have a good reason...I got a job!!! I gotta GREAT job, but it is temporary! The good news is I have plenty of time to look for a full time job here! My boss is Super nice and told me I could look and apply online and if I get an interview they will work around it! It's definatly a God thing and I'm so blessed to be here! I really enjoy it and I wish I could just stay here, but God has a better one somewhere for me! Well, Cale is waiting on me so I better get off here for now! I love you all and I'll try to write more often...if Cale would get me a computer I would! LOL!

New Job?
As most of you know I have worked at the same job for about a year and a half. I was working full time when I started here but for a while because we didn't have much business I have only worked 4 hours 4 days a week! You do the Math! So some stuff happened and so I put in my two weeks notice and now I am looking for a new job! I have an interview on Thursday and I have another job that is lined up for me too! I stepped out and God provided like ALWAYS! I prefer one over the other, but I want what God wants because he knows best! I know God knows what he's doing and he'll do what is best for me!
Enough about that....It's almost my anniversary! HOORAY! I can't wait! We are going to have so much fun! It is much needed too, because we haven't been able to see much of each other because Cale has had to work nights for 2 weeks! Wednesday our band is performing on the 19th! Then that weekend we are going to a women's conference and that will be fun too! If that's not enough then we are going to see family that we don't see very often for a birthday party the next weekend! So this month is very busy! I like it when I have things to look forward to!
Like I said earlier, God had a plan for me and everyone before we were even born! He has a plan and a purpose for each and everyone of us! I don't know everything God has for me, but I believe I hear his voice and I am going in the right direction. He does exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or think! That's my DAD! Is he yours?

Scripture: Ephesians 3:20

Yeah it's FRIDAY!
Hello everyone! Well I told you that my youth pastor from when I was in youth was coming to teach, and she did! She brought her family too! It was so good! She taught on value and that is what God has been telling us for a while! She also brought the youth band from her church! It was really neat! They did an awesome job! And her kids....WOW they have gotten so big! I used to watch them about 6 years ago and my have they grown since then! I hadn't seen them since they left and it was exciting to see them all!
Cale has been working nights and tonight and this weekend he is off! I can't wait to spend time together! It's been a long week! I'm also looking forward to our anniversary! It's going to be lots of fun! It's not to much longer! Well that's all for now! I love you all!

The Guys' Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.) We always hear "the rules" From the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered "1"ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.We need it up, you need it down.You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moonor the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months IS a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to actlike soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makesyou sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have noidea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing'swrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don'twant to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discusssuch topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,Or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men reallydon't mind that? It's like camping. Pass this to as many men as you can, to give them a laugh. Pass this to as many women as you can, to give them a bigger laugh.

Practice # 2
This weekend went great! The kids were good and we had fun with them! Saturday I went to a women's thing at church and it was fun! We all had to fill out papers about us and then turn them in and draw from the pile and not let anyone or the person know who you got. It's called the Secret Sister and until December we are to pray for that person daily and get them at least one gift a month! It will be fun! Then December we revel to our Secret Sister who we are! I think it's a great idea! I'm glad Trina took me! Thanks girl!
Sunday we had a great service and then that night we practiced! Lee couldn't make it but Dave and Lauren came and we all practiced! It was better than last time! Dave is really catching on to his part and it sound great! I don't know if anyone's is going to tape it but my mom might! It will be our 1st band performance! It's going to be awesome!
Then tomorrow my 1st Youth Pastor is coming to speak! I can't wait! I haven't seen all of them in a long time! She always ministered to me and I know that she will the youth too!
Cale started working night yesterday! I don't like it but it's only for two weeks so he can train the new guys. I'm glad it's temporary, or he'd have to be looking for a new job! LOL! Well, I have to go for now! Love you all!

~Our 1st Practice~
I didn't get to write yesterday b/c there was a storm that came thru and it had hail and a possible tornado! It just rained really hard! I think the news said that they saw a tornado forming but it didn't touch down! Praise God! My boss said to go home b/c he thought it was going to get really bad, but I was at work when the storm came and I went thru it here! So really I could of stayed but oh well! I went to my mema's and visited with her until my honnie got home!
As most of you know my sister and I are called to sing, and for a few months we have stepped out and are doing specials at church. It has been quite an experience! We sang when we were little and it was no big deal, but now we are older and fear tries to come! We just pray and the fear goes! Hallelujah! Anywayz we sing again on the 19th and God gave me a song but I wanted to have our band do it. Lets back up....yeah we have a band...it's me, my sis, her boyfriend, and a guy from the youth group...Dave (Lauren's Bo) plays the guitar, and Lee (boy from youth) plays the drums, and as you already know Lauren and I sing! I wanted to do a different version of Mercy Me's "I can only Imagine." I have a CD that has it on there from when I went to Acquire The Fire years ago! So I asked our band if we could get together and work on it. They said yah, so last night was our 1st practice. Well, the song originally has a guy and girl singing but my sis and I figured that we could do it so we tried and it just wasn't working out. Our drummer can sing so he tried and said it was to hard to sing and play without looking! My sweet husband was there helping us with the cd and the sound system, so I asked if he wanted to try it. He did and it sounded great! So now he's doing that song with us! I can't wait! It's going to be awesome! The practice went AWESOME too! The guys had only heard it a few times and they really did good! It is just falling into place! GOD is so GOOD! After practice Cale and I had to go to my mom's for a few minutes and then went home and went to bed! We got a good night's rest! Today is going great and I'm glad it's Friday! That's all for now! Love ya'll!

God is Awesome!
Last night was great! As most of you know Cale and I attend The Christian Center. I love my church and God is doing awesome things there! Last month we had a Faith Conference and had 7 different speakers! They were Mark Hankins, Leroy Thompson, Billy Joe Daugherty, Creflo Dollar, Kate McVeigh, Charles Capps, and Jerry Savelle. Every night was awesome! They all had a great revelation from God and I was blessed to be apart of it! This month (Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th) we had a Faith Seminar with Keith Moore and Jesse Duplantis! These two nights have also been a blessing to be apart of! I'm so glad that God has brought us to this church to be blessed and to be a blessing! Praise God!
Well, our puppies are 5 weeks old and if anyone wants one then let me know! We are keeping one of the boy puppies, but there is a girl, and two boys that we can give away. We will miss them but we can't keep 5 dogs! I am praying they will go to a good Christian home! That probably sounds crazy but they are like my babies and I want them taken care of!
Well, that's all for today! Have a Blessed Day!

I Want a Horse...
Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Cale and I did! Friday Cale and I stayed home to spend time together and watch a movie! It's not very often we get to just be with each other! We're so busy! It was fun!
Saturday Cale said he had a surprise for me! Yeah! I love surprises! Well, he had planned to take me horse back riding, but when we got there all the horses were ready to go so we had to come back the next day at 2 p.m. It was a great idea, he just didn't make an appointment! So we planned to come back the next day and we went home to clean out the bedroom! I think every box was mine! Cale didn't have much to do b/c being a guy he just wanted to throw things away w/o me seeing what it was! So he fixed dinner and I went thru boxes! We got it cleaned out for the most part!
Sunday we went to church and had a great Word and it was late when church got out! I was hungry and we had an hour to go home fix something change clothes and get there (which is by Duncan Lake). Cale just wanted to go from church and then eat later! I objected and we had a little spat and he said he'd get me something to eat! ;-) So we get there and I'm a little nervous b/c it had been a few years since I'd rode, and almost every time I ride something happens! Like one time my horse sat down with me on him and I jumped off before he rolled over! Then another time when I was little my cousin didn't know what he was doing and kicked the horse hard w/ us on his back and he dropped the reins! I don't remember how we got off but we lived! I keep getting on but something usually happens! Anyways the man put me on the horse 1st! Yikes! I don't like just sitting there on a horse I want to be moving! I don't why, I just don't like it! Well, it seemed like an hour went by and finally we get moving! I get to go behind the leader! Then Cale goes behind me..and so on! We get to go on the trail for a little over an hour and on our way back the lead horse (which usually doesn't lead and doesn't like it might I add) gets spooked and jumps which is like a chain reaction! Praise the Lord I semi know what I'm doing and don't panic and just hold on to the reins and everything is ok! Praise God! We had lots of fun and I'm a little sore but I'd do it again! After we rode I looked at Cale and said..."I want a horse!" He just laughed! I will have a horse one day! I just know it! YEAH! Well, that's all for today! I love you all!

Almost Friday
I'm so glad that Friday is tomorrow! Yeah! I don't know what me and my sweetie are going to do but probably rest and work around the house! We are going to start working on our bedroom soon and hopefully get it cleaned out so we can start the fun stuff...REMODELING! I'm so excited! It's 400 sq. ft and we are planning to put a walk in closet and a bathroom! Cale wants a small bathroom but I want to go all out! I want to put my vanity in there and have the vanity lights and two sinks! That way we have our own stuff! I don't know if he'll go for it though! He always says..."Where are we going to put our bed?" LOL! I know it will work out and God will give us ideas to do what we want!
Well, that's all for today! Love you all!

Cabins...Here We Come
As most of you know Cale and I are about to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and we are trying to figure our what we are going to do! We talked about going to stay at a cabin and so now we have to find one! It so much fun! I look at some and they are so beautiful! I think we have narrowed it down to one! You can look at it at
www.hefnercabins.com and it's the Hefner Hideaway and Cale talked the guy down to a cheaper price! YEAH! If anyone knows of a better deal or have some ideas let me know! I'm open to ideas! I can't wait to go! I've been tanning and working out so I'll be slim and tan for our 1 year and hopefully for the rest of my life! I just had to get back into a routine! I'll go for now! Love you all!

~A Great Weekend~
Well, I had a great weekend! We had Jaxon and Nicole and they had lots of fun! Friday we went to church and we did praise and worship and Nicole jumps to the fast songs and Jaxon dances! He says it's his "Power Ranger Dance!" It's hilarious! He gets to moving and I can't help but laugh!
Cale had to work a little bit on Saturday so the kids woke me up and I started my day off with some aerobics like every morning! The kids were playing and came in the living room to see what I was doing! They looked at me like I was crazy and I told them to do it with me! It was a sight to see them trying to do Tae-Bo with me! Jaxon gave up and did his "Power Ranger Dance" and Nicole tried to do it with me! Then the guy that instructs it said.."You're doing a great job" and Jax looked at me and said with a big smile on his face, "He said I'm doing a good job!" The kids think that people can see them through the screen b/c they can see them! They are so silly! When Cale got home we played Hungry Hungry Hippos and they thought that was so fun! It's funny to see my kids having fun with the same games that my sister and I had fun playing! It brings back memories!
Sunday was great too! We went to church and during praise and worship Jaxon did his "dance" and Nicole jumped and they enjoyed themselves! We had a great Word and then went home and played Bible Dominos with the kids! We had lots of fun this weekend and I know that we have lots more to come! Love you all!

Scripture for the day: Mark 8:34-37

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hello everyone! I'm so glad I figured out how to do this...it's so Neat! I want to start off by saying, Happy Birthday to my best friend Trina! Love ya girly!
Yesterday I finally got to go tanning! Yah! My sister and I went and my buns and back are a little tender! I'm going to go 2x a week so I can be tan for me and my honnies 1 year anniversary! YEAH! It's already been a year! Wow..it flew! I'm so glad that God put us together! Yah, we've had our ups and downs, but who hasn't??!! I just have to remind myself when a trial comes that, "love is not a feeling, it's a commitment!" I know we couldn't of made it this far without God, our church family, and our family to always encourage and help us out! Cale is definatly my match, but it doesn't mean there wont be problems! We just have to give it to God and let him work it out!
Well, I'm going to leave you with this scripture...Ephesians 2:10. God has brought this scripture to my attention lately and maybe it will help you too! Love you all! God Bless!
