This last weekened when I was in NSB working I stayed the night with Sayrah Johnson Friday night because I had to work for Ava ( the lady I caregive for) at 9:00 in the morning on Saturday. Well Friday night PJ, took us Shrimping. We had so much fun. We didn't catch enough to bring home, but I really enjoyed it. I love being out on the water. As we were sitting there we had several Dolphins that kept swimming around the boat. Some were almost within touching distance. It was amazing. I can't wait to go again. :) The beautiful pic of Sayrah and my Pink shoes with my camo skirt are just to show are since of style. :) We were so cold we had to figure out something and therefore we didn't really match. :)

My Babies!! :) Well my sisters, but I want them. :) I love these kids so much! Isn't God such a wonderful God. He gives us so much, so many blessings we can't even begin to thank him. I want to say thanx to my neices and my nephew for giving me so much hapiness. :) I don't ever want to be apart from ya'll. It was torture and I can't believe I missed what I did. Tia wants you to know that I love ya'll so much and want to share your life with you. I want to watch you grow and become adults. I want ya'll to know that no matter what Tia always has a listening ear and a strong sholder to cry on or lean on. I love ya'll so much, higher than the sky above!!!!

~THIS IS MY TOWN~



Today I realized something that I already knew but never truly experienced. I realized that sometimes when you loose something & then regain it, you love & appreciate it so much more.

When I lived in Florida 6 years ago I totally loved it. I am a true Florida Girl thru & thru. But when I left I missed it more than I even realized. Now that I am back I realize what I missed exactly. I really love my home town. I spent a day with Jul, Mom, & the kids in NSB. We went to Canal Street for Radio Disney day.

It's January & people were dressed for summer - it was awesome. The weather was beautiful, it was perfect, not too cold, not too hot. The kids got to do the limbo, rock wall climbing, slide down the huge slide ( a thousand times), & jump in the big bouncing castle. They loved it so much. They won free tee shirts & some autographed posters for their room.

Then we walked down Canal Street & ate at Sea Harvest. One of our all time Favorites. Best fresh fish in town- coming straight from the Ocean. On our way back to the car the old fashion car show had started so we got to see some pretty awesome cars. Before we went home we stopped at the beach for some pics & to feel the water & sand between our toes. Then we came home. :)

It was like heaven & I am so glad I am back in my Town!

~I NEED YOU~

Hey Everyone~ Thanx for all the comments on the "Attack of the bagel slicer." :) Some said I shouldn't post pics on here because they were just too gross, but the way I see it is you can't get the full affect unless you know what it looks like. :) Anyways I am doing alot better. I have the brace off now and I can tell it is healing. I can't wait till I have full use of my finger again. Until you loose the use of a body member you can't really understand how much it is missed.

When I think about that statement, I think of the body of Christ and how important each member is. And how much one is missed when they are injured spiritually and not operating fully or properly. It is important that each of us stay where God put us "We work together." And we need each, we need every member of God's body to work properly.

I need you, you need me. We're all a part of God's body.
Stand with me, agree with me. We're all a part of God's body.
It is His will that every need be supplied.
You are important to me, I need you to survive.

I pray for you, you pray for me. I love you, I need you to survive.
I won't harm you with words from my mouth.
I love you, I need you to survive.
It is His will that every need be supplied.
You are important to me I need you to survive.

I love you Saints, Each and everyone of you!

~THE ATTACK OF THE BAGEL SLICER~
Hey everyone this is taking me a while to type and I will tell you why. I have the use of one less finger right now. :( I still have it thank God but I can't use it for awhile. Ok here's the scoop, I was at work on Wednesday and I was running the cash register. I work at Panera Bread (bakery/cafe). Anyways I was tired of the bagels getting stuck in the slicer. So I decided I was going to clean it. Well one of my coworkers decided she wanted to leave it on. Which, by the way, we are not suppose to do. So I turned it off, but what I didn't realize is that the blade keeps spinning in there a few seconds after the motor stops, so I stuck my hand in to clean it. Well next thing I know I am bleeding everywhere. I went to the back and yep I got it pretty good. So they sent me to have it looked at. The nurse thought they were going to do stitches but the doctor said it was in a bad place for stitches so they medical superglued it. :) I am very thankful it didn't cut part of my finger off. God is so faithful to look after us. :) The pictures are nasty I know but I thought you all would want to see the damage of the attack of the bagel slicer. :)

~HAPPY NEW YEAR~

I had such a wonderful end of the year. God blessed me with an awesome friend who offered me a free ride with her to Alabama ( Thanx Jeck). We ( Jessica, Sis Kay, Justin, Rachel and I) left Friday night after work. We stayed all weekend and then drove home Monday. I stayed at the wonderful Slaten household one night and the wonderful Smith (Mandy & Ryan) household the other night. Everyone was so welcoming. The services were awesome. I got such a blessing from the testimonies, songs, and messages. I really wanted to be there for the morning service on Monday but we were unable to stay. God has blessed us with a great group of Young People some married and some still single. I had alot of fun hanging out with them all. I can't wait till CM. I miss everyone already. Well I will try to get some pics on here soon. Stay encouraged and always true Saints. If a weekend Meeting is that awesome what will heaven be like?
