What a day!!!  A wet day.  A day that had many challenges.  A beautiful outdoor wedding planned but moved in due to rain.  A grandfather a couple doors away struggling to survive.  Last minute changes and challenges on such a big day could send some into a nervous break down but not for these two.  Their hearts are totally in it.  The real meaning of the day was at the center of every moment and every breath.  Their focus steady and never wavering.  A true testament to their character and their love.  Some might would think that a day such as theirs would be called ruined but what I and so many other very privileged guests saw was a day cleansed by the rain.  It brought with it a beautiful luster.  It seemed to have washed all that was not important away.  Would not have been possible without this rock solid couple standing arm in arm together before the Lord.  He was there, they were there and that was all that mattered.  But as those that love the Lord know, that was not all that was given.  This day was filled with total comfort and splendor, fitting for such a deserving couple.  The details were so "Mike and Myra".  The flowers were nothing short of amazing and the hydrangeas were their crowning glory.  The friends' and family's support was so touching.  Their pastor surely delivered a divine message and ceremony.  And the barn for the reception was so ideal.  Mike and Myra, the animal lovers that they are, both being Veterinarians,  kept me imagining a scene from the Disney Classic Snow White.  You know the one, when all the animals gathered around her.  I could just picture coming from the surrounding woods, the little critters, deer, foxes, bears and the good Lord only knows what else.  It was really a beautiful day and I thank God for orchestrating it so perfectly for Mike and Myra.  And I also thank Him and this beautiful couple for allowing me the awesome privilege of being there that Glorious Day.

Jessica and Rhodes are such a beautiful couple.  Their story is soul churning and heart filling.  I was so blessed being a witness to these two becoming one.  This marriage was definitely a God thing.  : )  His presence was surly felt that day. And surly right with Him was Tell looking down with great joy for these two sweet hearts and his daughter Ava.  What a Glorious Day He provided.  The sky was so blue, the wind was just right and the warmth just seemed to embrace everyone.  Jessica and Rhodes love for one another is so pure and reflects the love that they share for the Lord.  This marriage stands firm on the 'Rock'.  The future for this gorgeous little family is so bright and exciting.  I can't wait to hear all the stories that they will be so blessed to have.  Little Miss Ava has such a sweet Mama and Daddy to raise her.  Jessica, Rhodes and Ava,  You will always have a part of my heart.  





I had the privilege of taking my daughter Kyla with me.  It was her first wedding.  I can't begin to explain just how proud I am of her.  She is so talented.  I am sure that it won't be long and I will be in tow with her.  : )  There are a few images below that she took.  I will make sure to point those out.  I love them. :D

Nana-  Thanks.  : D  I know your heart, along with so many others were there with them.  People that don´t even know them, that have seen there story here, has lifted them up in prayer.  I know that they have God´s favor for sure.  They acknowledge that and fully receive all that He has for them.   Kristin-  Thank you friend.  Miss you already.  Ditto, Ditto, Ditto.   (26.06.2009 ,06:47)

THANK YOU!!!  From the bottom of my heart.  
Monday, May 25, 2009 19:02



Thank you is just not enough.  I am so tearfully grateful for all those that have given to this beautiful country.  They are some of the most amazing men and women.  The sacrifices made are immeasurable.  Some have given time, some have given limbs and some have given all.  It is astronomical to even begin to think of all the tears and heartaches that have drenched our country's flag.  I am extremely sad today for those families that are broken, battered and bruised.  Those families separated, scared and succumbed.  I hate that some are without their loved ones today, I wish that could be changed.  But it can't and I want those left behind, those left to pick up the pieces or those left with the scars to know that I am bursting with pride knowing that I am a sister to those heroes.  I am honored with the knowledge that these great men and women love this country and its people enough, to fight for and die for us.  Our freedom is not free.  There is an extremely high price.  It is paid daily by this country's bravest and finest.  Please take the time today and everyday to thank our Service men and women.  Ask if there is ANYTHING that you could do for THEM.  They do so much for us.  The greatest among us are those that serve.  I Salute you all today and Everyday!  

"Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."(Mark 10:43-45)

Shara Lana: Amen Sister!!!  : ) (26.06.2009 ,06:41)     
Nana: You said it all. I want to thank every person who has lost a loved one in war or in any other way for our country, to know that our hearts are with them. It takes a great person to stand up for what they believe in and there have been thousands throughout the years who have done this. Many have died and many have suffered, but don´t anyone ever forget that most of us in the USA are behind you, all the way, and have always been. (25.05.2009 ,17:42)     





What a STAR!!!
Friday, May 22, 2009 10:30

Let me tell you, I am so proud of my daughter Kyla.  She had her first lead role in a play and she was AWESOME!!!!   She should definitely get a Grammy or an Oscar for her performance.  Really.  Seriously!!!  She was SO GOOD!!!  I cried during the end of the play because I was just so, so PROUD!!!  The play was Hysterical.  Kyla was a self absorbed teen taking phone calls in the Library filled with NERDS!  They all ganged up on my daughter and let her have it.  Actually, they threw her out of the library.  Kyla played the part so well, she was so theatrical.  I just thank God that she is really not like her character.  LOL  CONGRATULATIONS Kyla for a Outstanding Performance!!!  The whole cast was great, congratulations to you ALL!!!
