About Me


Yes, it's true - I am officially engaged as of Christmas Eve, 2007. Wedding plans are coming along pretty smoothly, we are planning our nuptuials for December 6, 2008.
Update: May 5, 2008: Sorry, I know I haven't updated in a while - things have been so crazy!! Anyway, some of the plans have changed, we will be holding the ceremony and the reception at Dusseau's Reception Center.
I have my dress and the girls have ordered their dresses. The colors are Marine blue and silver.
Check back here for all the details as they come along!
I feel that I need to mention the fact that I hope everyone understands that it is just not financially possible for us to invite everyone to the wedding. We are paying for this wedding out of our own pockets - 100% of the funding is coming from us. And it's not that we don't want to invite everyone, we just had to draw the line somewhere. So, I hope nobody's feelings will get hurt because of this. Thank you for understanding!
I really enjoy volunteering at my church (Crossroads Community Church) working on Toddler Trail (1 year olds) for Kids' Street. We are under the direction of an amazing leader who eats, breathes, and walks for his love of children. Check out his page if you can, he is a "friend" at the bottom of my page - Adam.
**************************
There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not superstitious. This is true, even if you are not superstitious, agnostic, or otherwise faith impaired.
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.
NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives.
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say "God bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN. When you lose, don't lose the lesson .
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.

"MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL"

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye." I held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called as she fed breakfast to their children. I held her up as she tried to understand his words and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman cried out to Me for help. "I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!" I said.
"Of course I will show you the way home - only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest inistering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers there, comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Virginia, California, Michigan, Afghanistan. I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames; "Come to Me... this way... take my hand." Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You may not know why, but I do. However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey for you. But someday your journey will end. And I will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

~~~~~God~~~~

*****************

The road to success is not straight.

There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.

But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success!!!

And just remember that the dictionary is the only place that success comes before work!

*********************

I'd like to meet:

The one person I would love to meet is Jesus. Here's why:
THE BIBLE IN 50 WORDS:

God made / Adam bit / Noah arked / Abraham split / Joseph ruled / Jacob fooled / Bush talked / Moses balked / Pharaoh plagued / People walked / Sea divided / Tablets guided / Promise landed / Saul freaked / David peeked / Prophets warned / Jesus born / God Walked / Love talked / Anger crucified / Hope died / Love rose / Spirit flamed / Word spread / God remained.

Prayers go up, Blessings come down.

Music:

I can listen to just about any kind of music with the exception of rap. My favorites include John Mayer, Nickleback, 3rd Eye Blind... I love to listen to "Star 105.5", so, pretty much anything you would hear on that station would be something I would like to listen to!

Movies:

I am really a girly-girl and I like watching the "chick flicks"! My favorites include
"A Walk to Remember"
"Here on Earth"
"Titanic"
"The Butterfly Effect"

I like watching Harrison Ford, Shane West, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck

Television:

"24"
"One Tree Hill"
"Jerico"
"ER"
"Smallville"
"Supernatural"
"Ghost Whisperer"
"Desperate Housewives"
"Brothers and Sisters"

Books:

I love to read Danielle Steele. And I am getting hooked on Nora Roberts.

Heroes:

My one and only hero would be Jesus Christ.
