My Weekend....

I just wanted to share with you some things we did this past weekend. I usually don't have anything really interesting to post about my weekend but this time I do and I wanted to share...
First off we went to Julie's Volleyball Banquet at Taste of Japan...good food....when it came time to pass out awards..of course Ms. Julie didn't think she would get anything because this was her first year and the other girls are upper class men and of course they get all the awards. There were two "Very Special" awards given one being the "RAM" award...chosen by the coach and the "MVP" award chosen by the team...Well how shocked was Ms. Julie to learn she was voted "MVP' by the team...see pictures... sorry they are small...couldn't figure out how to make them larger...hope you can see them...



The coach had called me to tell me about Julie getting this award but I was sworn to secrecy and couldn't tell anybody..(except daddy, jessica, justin, nana, sissy)...everyone BUT Julie...and to see the look on her face when she called her name was priceless!

Then we went to Winter Jam 09 at G'boro Coliseum. Sponsored by K-LOVE the Christian Music station. It was GREAT!!! Some of the groups one especially..Family Force 5 was a little much for me...but the place was packed....They had to turn people away because they had reached the maximum capacity!!! How amazing is that..! Over 20,000 people there praising the Lord. It was awesome!!! see...pic as well!!



Julie made a comment on the way home that night that she was so amazed that so many people from all different age groups..young and old could get together for a concert and it be all about God...she said "Mama, I'm glad to know I'm not the only teenager who praises the Lord and loves to sing and listen to music about him! That was worth the $10 to get in and the $10 to park!

That's my weekend...Just wanted to share this with you and hope you will indulge me on bragging on my little girl!!! She makes me Proud!!!

Hope you have a Blessed Week!

Happy Valentines Day and Happy Weekend!!!!!

Coming Soon....Valentines Day!

With Valentines Day fast approaching...I was thinking about something I could post about today and then I read Michell's post from yesterday I believe and it got me to thinking...(thanks Michelle).
We all want the flowers and candy or better yet jewelry for Valentines Day right? But what I want for Valentines Day has nothing to do with any of them...well maybe the jewelry thing..hehe.. anyways as I was reading this other persons blog I couldn't help but remember all the Valentines Day's my hubby and myself have shared. We have been together almost 25 years...that of which 22 1/2 years are married years...so I have gotten my share of flowers, candy and even jewelry..but you know the more I think about it the more I am just grateful I have a wonderful man who loves me and respects me. When you say you have found your soul mate...I truly have. He loves the Lord and we share in our faith and pray for each other everyday. He is a great father and provider for all of us. He has to be because I love to spend money. I am always wanting to buy something so we have to have one level headed person in our relationship...haha!
I was listening to a young man last night at church preaching and in a few short months he will be getting married and he was talking about how many days, weeks and even how many hours it was until his wedding and that really blessed my heart to hear him talk about his soon to be wife and how he couldn't wait to start there lives together. If you are luck enough to find this kind of love you need to hold on tight and never let go. Of course it's not going to always be candy, flowers, and jewelry, but as long as you have love, respect and most important God...in your marriage, you have EVERYTHING!!!

That's all my mushy stuff for today...Hope each one has a blessed week!

I'm Still Here....I think...

WOW...Can't believe it's been over two weeks since my last post. Things have been a little crazy to say the least.

We had a lot going on with Daniel's Grandmother and as most of you know she passed away a week ago so that was pretty tough on everyone. Then we had my first Born's birthday Justin who turned a big 22 years old. Gosh..can't believe it's been 22 years already...Seems like yesterday in a way. My how fast they grow up. Anyways just wanted to write a little something so you would know I'm still here and will do better about my blogging since things maybe settling down a bit. Who am I kidding...I have a teenager in my house who thinks the world revolves around her...Settling down is not something were accustomed too!!! ha ha!!!

Hope everyone has a blessed week!!!
