Time after time I am amazed at the phenomenal work of God!! Oh how blessed I am! At the end of October my husband and I got some horrifying news. It's caused a lot of problems since then, and it doesn't appear to be drawing to an end any time soon. During this difficult time in our lives, we learned the TRUE meaning of marriage. I got married when I was 20 years old, I am now 23, and never would I have thought that I would have had to go through such things at such a young age! As soon as we got the news, my husband and I both knew that we were there for one another. This "trial" has really shown us what it means to stick by one another no matter what. Don't get me wrong, we had a great marriage before anything happened, but this has truly been a blessing! There has definitely been more good than bad come out of it. By having this "situation" arise, it has caused us some financial problems, not a whole lot, but of course, some. Well, we always think back to that day in December, when we said.... "For better or worse, for richer or poorer............" we both meant those words with every breath in our bodies. That day I made a promise to my God and to the man that I love! But through everything, God has shown me what it really means to have faith! There's so many times that we get "adjusted " to something, it's hard to accept change, but this "change" for us was a blessing in disguise! I'm not really sure why I posted this, but maybe there's someone out there reading this, who's going through a "trialing" time in their life.... I just want to tell ya..... if you're a follower of Christ, He'll never lead you in the wrong direction!!

I hope everyone has a blessed day!

   Yeah it snowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bobby and I are so excited. We LOVE the winter weather, ice and all. It started last night around 10pm and by 2am the ground was covered. Bobby woke up this morning to an extremely loud noise, he looked outside to find a HUGE limb that had fallen. It fell on our pickett fence. Only 2 of the pickets are broken so worse case, it will cost us about 35 dollars. I'm so thankful that it didn't fall on our roof, especially over our bedroom.  It would have killed us for sure. We aren't able to move it- we're going to have to wait until everything unthaws and cut it! Praise the Lord though that nothing worse happened!

Here's some pics-

I can't believe it has been SOOOO long since I've updated. Even though it has been so long, not that much has went on. Bobby and I both have just been working so much lately. We went to our last adoption class last Saturday. We learned so very much during our classes. Now it's up to us on when we get all of our stuff done-paperwork, home study, etc. Bobby and I did decide that we were going to finish remodeling our home first as well as pay off some of our debt. So instead of getting a child by December like we had planned, hopefully it will be more around Feb or March. But you know what is strange, a time like this really shows you who REALLY cares about you. I've learned alot by the expressions and remarks that certain people who are close to us have made in reference to us adopting. I never knew that people could be so shallow. It truely amazes me how much dislike people can have towards a child just because they won't have our blood. Absolutely AMAZING!! I sure am  glad that I found out now, cause I now know what, or should I say WHO, to look out for once the baby does get here! Enough about that though.... I just had to vent!  

Anyway- my best friend, Nancy, had her baby on Thursday. She had a beautiful little girl, Jaylynn Michelle. You all can go and take a look at her site if you would like, njordan29355 is her name....take a look as some pics by going to joker29355.....! But, I'm at work right now, so I better get off of here.... good night!
