We r finally....

What a weekend. We are finally back home after a few days wihout electricity. Despite the issue of not being in our home, the weekend was great. Todd and I had a mess to clean when we got home and lost most of the groceries we had in the fridge - but praise God for the fun we had playing in our Winter Wonderland.

I will post a full update sometime tomorroow.

Until then...

A White Valentine

I have so many pictures I want to share from our winter wonderland; however, we are still without electricity (going on 27 hours) so I am blogging from my phone. I will share with you as soon as we are back home and able to get online.

Stay warm and have a very happy Valentines Weekend!!!!!!

Until next time...

Wacky Wednesday

Short post tonight. Started my training sessions with Stephanie again last night and was very sore today. It feels great! How crazy is that.

Things at work are still in fast forward mode and it is time to jump in or jump ship--- I am aboard and ready for the weeks to come. I can't wait until I can share all of my news with you.

Until tomorrow.....

Saving Sunday...

Today was an amazing day in the Lord.  We were surprised by a visit from Billy & Junella -- two  very special people in my life -- Billy was our associate pastor and was called to his own church in West Texas.  His wife worked with the Young Ladies Ministry and become a mentor/friend and very special lady in my life.  It was so hard when they said goodbye.  So many mixed emotions -- Excited for knowing how God is working in their lives but so sad to know the void that would be placed in Liberty.   It was great to see them.  They left, I believe in Oct and being with them today was just awesome.  The message this morning was given by Bro. Dennis and very much what I needed to hear.  Sometimes we are afraid to let go and let God for fear of what others might say.  At the end of service he ask us how many were holding back in our worship or service because of a fear of how others would respond.  Great service.  Tonight we were blessed by Bro. Billy bringing forth a message on PATIENCE... What a nasty word -- :)   I think my favorite verse he pointed out was....

I also realized that this verse does NOT say ... count it all joy IF you fall into various trials...  IT SAYS WHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This one verse alone tells me that I will have trials and storms in my life.    Great sermon and awesome to hear Bro. Billy behind the pulpit at LBC once again.  Just another showing of how God is using him in a mighty way.  I could go on and on about the glory that was shown today...

Tomorrow is a HUGE day as it is the START of a new mindset for our Athens office -- I ask that you continue to pray for this part of my life-- I assure you details to follow as SOON as I am at liberty to share!  Another important event comes tomorrow - a new dedication to the gym -- with everything going on with my schedule, I have fallen into old habits of going when I can -- tomorrow is the start of GOING each day (except church days)  so ... it is almost like starting over.  Stephanie has worked her schedule so that I can start training with her again on Tues and Thurs.  She is totally awesome and I'm blessed to be someone she has chosen to work with.  I have to get back on track. 

One last comment for the day -  If I had one wish for you -- it would be that you could feel the same PEACE and JOY that I have.  There is ONLY one way to achieve this -- and it is by the name of JESUS! 

Until tomorrow...

Taking a Breath...

As promised...


Last week was a whirlwind and I couldn't wait to start my girls weekend with Misti and Kathy.  We planned to leave around 6; however, my office had other plans and it was around 6 when I left Athens.  I finally made it to Kaufman and we were eating dinner around 8:30.  We had a great dinner and the best waiter named Carlos.  When in Rome was the movie of choice and very good.  In fact - a good chic flick for us chicks.  I believe we finally made it to our hotel around midnight.  From there it was laughter, giggles, conversation and finally around 5 AM good night.  It just It still blows my mind that I can sit with these 2 girls for hours and still find things to talk about.   It has been such a blessing to reconnect with them as the past has come full circle and the entire friends forever that we use to write on everything - is 100% the TRUTH.  I will never allow these two out of my life again.    As early birds, we were up and we were out of the hotel by 10.  A wonderful breakfast at Original House of Pancakes and then on to bowling...  We played 2 games in which Mistie won one and I won the other --- What happened Kathy?????  The rest of the day was spent at the mall.  It was the perfect evening/day.


Sunday was spent in the house of the Lord and in the office for just a few hours getting ready for a big meeting on Monday.  It was such a relaxing and great time - I think I even forgot about all the changes and chaos that is going on right now in my professional life.  Once back to the office on Monday I was reminded.  On Monday my new Regional Manager and my Area was in the office for a day of reports, discussion and everything in between.  WHEW --- I have never been so glad for a day to be over in my entire life!!!!!!!!!  I'm not sure if it was an interrogation or a job interview or a ??????????  Let's just say --- I am so on top of the world that it is over!  However, with the meeting being over - more chaos follows as the next 90 days will be rocky and exciting.  (details to follow soon -- promise)


I have been so frustrated with not getting to work with Stephanie due to my schedule and can tell that I'm not pushing myself the way I need to push -- she is AWESOME and starting next week has offered to stay after boot camp nights to train with me --- she is the greatest!!!!  It will be great to get back into the routine of working with her again -- it isn't the same being in the gym and not having that extra push!   I AM TELLING YOU ... COMPLETE FITNESS IS THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday is the BEST day of the week --- Today was the day where you put away the week and become excited about the weekend.  Mom and I took Lolo to see The Tooth Fairy tonight -- cute cute movie- NOT ONE CUSS WORD!!!!  It was very family oriented, and you don't see that often.

Busy weekend full of birthday parties, friends and my baby girl, Aydin Grace--- Looking so forward to the weekend!!!!

I plan to also get back on track with blogging!!!! 

Until tomorrow...
