We meet once a month and every month I am always looking forward to it. We average about 12-15 ladies a month, and I love this group so much. We are women who just connect, we are Christians, mothers, wives, etc...and we just know how to connect, sometimes without even saying a word, we just sit and listen. These ladies are a group of ladies who will just listen and pray for you. Its a time where ladies can share things that they cant share at home, they come and pour out there heart to us and it amazes me to see God work. The past two months we have had two ladies come and share their hearts. One lady has had her children taken away from her and lives with an alcoholic husband and another lady has lived with her alcoholic boyfriend for 14 years and feels like she cant leave because she has no place to go. My heart hurts for these ladies, I don't know what they are dealing with but I DO know that God works in so many ways and I believe that lady will get her children back and the other lady will find a place for her and her son to go. Tonight after SIS I thought of the song from Third Day, Cry out to Jesus..I love this song. I love the words "there is HOPE for the helpless and REST for the weary, LOVE for the broken heart, there is GRACE and FORGIVENESS, MERCY and HEALING, He'll meet you WHEREVER you are, Cry out to Jesus...." such an awesome song....I pray that these ladies will seek the Lord in these times. God is good!!</span></b><br />

With working full time and 2 little ones, my life gets kinda crazy! But I wanna start reading blogs again and posting, it’s my "free time" :) So....life is wonderful! Here are a few pics of my family :) My babies are growing up too fast!! Drew is at a age (2) where he can do it all by himself and he thinks he doesn’t need mommy, but once he cant figure it out, he comes to me :) or his daddy. Avery (21months) is my sassy one, but I love it! She has such a funny personality, but I always wanted a prissy little girl, I'm sure I will not like that one day ;) but they are my world! Hope you are having a wonderful week and I hope to be back soon!! :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am thankful for my family, friends, church family, and my life :) The Lord has blessed us with two precious babies that I couldnt ask for better babies.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am so excited about this coming weekend, we are taking the whole family down to see LSU play Auburn. This will be Drew's first time in Death Valley! Avery is going to Baton Rouge with us but not going to the game, I think she is too little for some crazy Tiger football :) I will for sure post some pictures :) This is Drew and my dad last year watching LSU play. My family are HUGE LSU fans, always have been and always will be :)<br />

I met my parents there and we had to park across the road because of the limited parking spaces, it was a 4 lane road and my parents were walking about 10 yards in front of me and as my dad was crossing the road he said "come on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">michelle</span>, you got it", well with out even looking for cars I just ran across trying to hurry and catch up with them. And as I was sitting in the church waiting for the service to start, I started to think, ya know, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">thats</span> how God wants us to be. Without looking I crossed a 4 lane road and trusted my dad that the coast was clear and that I could cross, I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">didnt</span> ask him questions or look both ways, I just went for it. And in our spiritual life <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">thats</span> how we should be. When God ask us to do something, we should. We <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">shouldnt</span> ask questions or wonder whats going to happen, we should just trust Him. If I can trust my earthly father and not ask questions than I should trust my Heavenly Father even more. Sometimes I catch myself asking God questions....."whats gonna happen", "why do you want me to do this", "what is going to come from this", etc.....but it <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">shouldnt</span> be that way. When God wants us to do something we should trust in Him and know that He is guiding our path. Its pretty awesome to me, how awesome God is :) He wants whats best for us :) Sometimes we choose our own path but God will always have His path waiting for us. </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div>I would like to leave you with some pictures, I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">havent</span> posted pictures in so long, I tell myself every day that I am going to do better at this blog thing, but I never do :)<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Drew loved the water but not the sand</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391597977639935026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9yY4mugTZ1ktWotE58Hi2A_zplx7v7b-gouR8q_K2CjusYz4EeVc3nb9YmI8Ff50XI0n6M7KoJU5Mup79o3E0Hgi12PGQmgHwN6Ax8RPYstDUhnF4R_nurL-Gxf7HQfchC72IKKTxDPI/s320/IMG_2882.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Avery laying out :) </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391597517482368674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtHb0EanWf8ghu7CNsyMGrvp4CzI2pb6zIOd3prvL0MRylmcOeVonzAY6-ydJji6rm41PGDbGKfaTtvmLzewXkeE_ZBTVW8kYDOCA9b_8GNNB7S5n4OMJbpZrFPnmr5MJo1AEc0zZjFo/s320/IMG_2896.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Our family in Florida </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391596806552096962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrHbr9N5TLp_jcZWP3YB1h5WiPZt_bl-Y-8V3BTer0DVova8I3wJZLnTuVolr1UTTdymaOVDSmEdNACobi6KPKKaRBDU8d1kSSytt43nuI6pdMpB_osy6QPkRCv4kvGjP0OiuWe0ErRQ0/s320/IMG_2811.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"></div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-66969991640289062312009-07-28T12:49:00.000-07:002009-07-28T12:51:46.037-07:00Giveaway!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jod-wXaxZPG4LeGVEYP9F0Ti3Vjlhzvpoavm9Z5rc17PM25qIQBZvf8qMEFuFaZBBf9-a0bo3j-3bo2XsKyDfxjxiUimJ2TtuxlImPUFuts-mBN2S_yk3W4EK86ZcxTY8XwV3t5-8Ho/s1600-h/6a00e54f14327c883401157238ecac970b-500wi.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363600891365109666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4jod-wXaxZPG4LeGVEYP9F0Ti3Vjlhzvpoavm9Z5rc17PM25qIQBZvf8qMEFuFaZBBf9-a0bo3j-3bo2XsKyDfxjxiUimJ2TtuxlImPUFuts-mBN2S_yk3W4EK86ZcxTY8XwV3t5-8Ho/s320/6a00e54f14327c883401157238ecac970b-500wi.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> Check out this blog to win this awesome giveaway!!

It has been way to long!! I am so busy now I forget if I have even taken my shower....my life is pretty much CRAZY :) So I think its time to get back to blogging :) Lets start off by saying "Yes, I've had my baby girl"....this is why I have no time anymore. Avery Lea joined us on May 6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span>, 2009 and she is such a blessing! Drew is doing wonderful, he loves to play with her toes and he likes to tickle her little feet, it is so funny to him. The first week she was home he <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">didnt</span> know what to think, but he has adjusted well. When she cries he will go find a bottle or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">binkie</span> to give her, its so sweet. It is definitely different with two babies, they are 14 months apart, so I have my hands full. We are doing wonderful though, Andy has been such a big help, I have a huge respect for single mothers, there is no way I could do this by myself. He has stepped up big time, and Drew has been a daddy's boy. Having two little ones is wonderful, they keep my busy :) Here are a few pics of the past few weeks :) <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh38bdDBrf4DekCNaavIjQwCX8NhOg1sJWXyWy0UVhBoJSy94CXtWMyC44APv8nRncdaE9tbltwT2tPrWbkxE6xCRK39bzl2KC01BgBWFCLVhZ2I3eKUdNMJnIqpPKFiA_vdk3PEIZp_-k/s320/IMG_1786.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345532052688434418" /><br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs9zZzKWgSDmI5ayxaSk9_UdAFMooZk2SaxJPzH_dZcSxq5VTY1CkxrkWE_DWJQIa43B3J7imkixJ1Xjul5iLnSnM4vDhAqszHa1VwM3L43M-og92El0ZYxUXdlVfCT1NaBGRBsjk89vo/s320/IMG_0159.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345532058438499874" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW8E7eim8sLo8HU1WQBBSi1gCRh5XWiL-3L-zhOfuqQpdLDhlNCZIBBxa-5HmOcj-nKCwAEBlE-E_bQBl_ZLj-h0ykQ7XPFR1OXESku2EVL7ljlHePoxsI-3LAeARCZRZMsPoyQKaWr2M/s320/IMG_1810.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345532059827128050" /><div style="text-align: center;">My two sweet babies...they <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">dont</span> sleep like this, I moved them next to each other once they were both out :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDCbT0F6DRQ8RlStQSiMNXGErMM9gv2f_myobkYEE5GfZ-UC2zIWFe5eV10xwYX5b1vnJAp8gMCG5rDZjcMc7iP_HfgL6nCUfIDgCQ08eluaTpXIGMMPtPp3vzmQA2aGsgsaT58cerGg/s1600-h/IMG_1899.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJDCbT0F6DRQ8RlStQSiMNXGErMM9gv2f_myobkYEE5GfZ-UC2zIWFe5eV10xwYX5b1vnJAp8gMCG5rDZjcMc7iP_HfgL6nCUfIDgCQ08eluaTpXIGMMPtPp3vzmQA2aGsgsaT58cerGg/s320/IMG_1899.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345532064623445906" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-66350545743287129462009-04-21T12:22:00.000-07:002009-04-21T12:25:44.263-07:00praying for stellanAndy and I at the firestation holding our sign up "Praying for Stellan in Shreveport Louisiana" Stellan has been in our prayers for awhile now, my prayer is the Lord will heal him and give the family comfort and peace<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6uEfzlfR_-JbFEiMDRr1PbtxfJC42tgJdRrDLvIsubN0dVEwWRnsgWP5DiWijBi-AFLxt9jpqeFYN8JAwd4ibPp_5GtdKYypvYZPQ5VQ68W687GMtGc908Xg97c7ZTy-EymrqN34FTY/s1600-h/2897_508881397041_160000121_30346260_2190902_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327227230360761314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6uEfzlfR_-JbFEiMDRr1PbtxfJC42tgJdRrDLvIsubN0dVEwWRnsgWP5DiWijBi-AFLxt9jpqeFYN8JAwd4ibPp_5GtdKYypvYZPQ5VQ68W687GMtGc908Xg97c7ZTy-EymrqN34FTY/s320/2897_508881397041_160000121_30346260_2190902_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-3719247772257134632009-04-17T11:13:00.000-07:002009-04-17T11:19:23.307-07:00Fancy Fritter Giveaway!!<div>You need to go on over to the Fancy Fritter to enter in a giveaway!

First off, Harper is doing wonderful, Praise the Lord, she is home and healthy and beautiful! I am doing good, just staying busy! My 11 1/2 month old, Drew, is keeping me busy, plus being 27 weeks pregnant doesnt help, but I manage :) Everything is going wonderful, Andy and I are planning Drew's first birthday party which is Saturday and I cant wait! His birthday is March 4th, I cant believe how fast it has flown by. I will be posting pictures of his party :) Little Avery is just growing in my tummy, I think she is going to be a big one! I am huge!! I am wearing shirts now that I wore with Drew two days before I had him and they are starting to be too small for me now! Something just isnt right about that! We go for an ultrasound on Tuesday to see her and we cant wait! Andy is already crazy about her, so I know she is going to be rotten, but so is Drew! Drew is his daddy made over!! Life is wonderful and I couldnt ask for a better family in the world, we are truly blessed. In January we took a cruise, my parents got it for us for Christmas, and had the best time! Drew stayed home with some of our family, so it was like a second honeymoon for us, only I was 20 weeks pregnant. I told Andy we have got to wait a few years for baby #3....he said 2 years max....my record isnt very good, I get pregnant way too fast, but I guess that can be blessing at the same time. Hope you all are doing wonderful and I will keep you updated better, but working 40 hours a week and taking care of 2 boys(thats would be andy and drew) and keeping the house clean and dinner cooked and being pregnant, can be a little tough :) lol.....but I wouldnt change it for the world.

About a month ago a couple from our church lost there baby, she was scheduled to go in for a c-section on a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Wednesday</span> and went to the doctor <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Monday</span> to find out the baby <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">didn't</span> make it, the cord was wrapped around his neck twice and feet once and it was there first little boy, she has two older girls, and once I found out it broke my heart, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">didn't know</span> them very well because they are new in our church, but the thought of the pain and hurt she was going through hurt me, they were in church the following Sunday and I just started crying just looking at her, I wanted to go tell her we were praying for them but I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">couldn't</span> because I was way too <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">emotional</span> and she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">didn't</span> need some crazy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">emotional</span> girl coming up to her crying her eyes out when she was the one with the hurt and pain....I had no words....what do you say?......Two weeks later I found out a friend of mine lost her baby the day after Christmas, she went in for her check up to see if she had dilated any and they found no heart beat, this one really got to me, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Katye</span> is my age and it was there first pregnancy and it just tore me up really bad, I cried all day and I cried at night before bed, I just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">didn't</span> understand why all of this was going on and I know the Lord is in control and He works in everything, but it made me question and wonder why....I guess that is just human, but it still hurts....I realized on March 4, 2008 (when drew was born) that being a mommy is the best thing in the world and when your child is in pain <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">you're</span> pain and you want it to be you and not them but sometimes it just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">doesn't</span> work that way....I look at Drew every day and thank the Lord for him, he is such a blessing and the Lord has blessed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Andy</span> and I more than I could ever describe. We are having a little girl, Avery, in May and I cant wait to meet her! Having a baby changes you, not just your schedule, but you. Babies depend on us so much, we are the ones to provide for them and they are wonderful gifts from God and some babies make it and some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">don't</span>, but as a Christian I believe the ones that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">don't</span> make it we will see one day. I told <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Katye</span> that I will see Scout in Heaven one day...I know right now he is playing and giggling and he is a true angel....please pray for them, that the Lord will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">continue</span> to comfort them and wrap His loving arms around them...<br /><br />-be blessed-michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-59641426523069455972008-12-14T21:29:00.000-08:002008-12-15T06:59:02.314-08:00i love christmas :)I love Christmas, this time of year is so joyful and exciting, and this year is our first year to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">celebrate</span> Christmas with our 9 month old Drew and I cant wait!

I've sung that song so many times and have typed it on power point and never noticed the part "every tear I've cried, You hold in your hand..." and it hit me hard, I just thought about all the tears I've cried over the past 24 years, I have had painful, hurtful, and joyful tears.....and my God has held every one in the palm of His hand....WOW!! That is just crazy to me....I thought of how when Drew was in the NICU and I couldn't hold him, I cried for days all day....and to think the Lord held all those tears and He was telling me "Michelle let me be who I am and let me do what I do and you just sit there" and when I did the Lord healed him....I will tell that story later on.....but God is so awesome and bigger than I could ever imagine....all I could do yesterday while I was crying was thank Him for everything and thank Him for blessing me way more than I would ever deserve. If you ha vent ever just sat down and listened to the song I encourage you to do so....the words are powerful....<br /><br />Be blessed<br /><br />Michellemichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-70723061780818138062008-11-15T22:53:00.000-08:002008-11-15T23:24:05.105-08:00I've been tagged!Stacy has tagged me, but I will probably not tag anyone, because I still don't know too many people on here and the ones I do know have already done something like this, but I will do my 7 random facts about me :) it was hard for me to think of this because I cant think of 7 things....but here are a few things i thought of....<div><br /></div><div>1. I love honey! I put honey on everything and if I don't have any then I just don't eat it, Andy tells me to just keep some in my purse but I've done that and it leaked, so there went that idea...</div><div><br /></div><div>2. I've been to South Africa for missions </div><div><br /></div><div>3. I would love to have like 10 kids, some adopted</div><div><br /></div><div>4. I was in labor for 33 hours....way too long! </div><div><br /></div><div>5. I married a man (Andy) that for 6 years I told everyone that I would never marry him.....God has a funny sense of humor and Andy never gave up on me :) </div><div><br /></div><div>6. I'm hooked on Vicks Vapor Rub...when I was pregnant with Drew I got sick and had a stuff nose and couldn't breathe and ever since then I have to put it on my nose, lips and throat every night before bed (Andy doesn't care for that too much)...and the puffs with Vick's are the best! </div><div><br /></div><div>7. I love purses! I have a closet full and I like to change at least once a month </div><div><br /></div><div>Hope you enjoy ;) </div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-830214075391909512008-11-13T13:03:00.000-08:002008-11-13T13:32:38.811-08:00Truly blessedWell, I've been tagged so my next post will be that. Thanks Stacy! :)<br /><div><div></div><div>Today I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and....well let me back up, when I was 6 weeks pregnant they found a blood clot that was bigger than the baby and right next to the baby, so I had to go to a specialist and this was my second visit to him...anyway, back to my story....today the doctor was looking and couldn't find anything, so the blood clot is gone! Praise Jesus! It made our day and i was telling Andy how we were so blessed and I was thinking about the past few years of my life and just thought about how God puts everyone together for a reason, so I found some older pictures on my computer and wanted to post a few from when he proposed to me and our wedding day.....we were married in May and found out we were pregnant in July with our first baby and now I'm pregnant again and we've only been married a year and a half!! Wow! </div><div><br />The night Andy proposed :)<br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268252986481410898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEsDfiZ_kf06P6YZsvWzJxPxtKn62Ne4XDY2CyGDJsqRUC6wdsfnbNm7XPEghFbFf5QPTLVI6rI9N-yUHJ0ezdatclQR9s3J9Xf3x6PgVj29Z9iTecUEj2l03JYdXEjLt9M6JcPg2Bjbc/s320/pro.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268252984302085506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4r1XoPDrPTibjQORrBb_XINtJztxCxkYFlloUzrxzNNvDGZPv5j_o5K_ZKXvZk7Pk5QMHp8n0_vSbXC6m069tepO-qDBD3ladi6xhDx6UEYoIU75qJ-0AdeevFR94ZhywKCB7eeWcDqo/s320/n160000121_30098487_5684.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />Andy's work truck :)<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268252992525445090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitohGe90HOfuwcEheM6_19NENomVF1lYJaqWOq10yItNCCcWMYcThf7Dr4Lxab7bWQOpfl7eDSOWaVN2rCTSo_a1MHnUN6EK9Cb4INVhbFZgPlM0_rNt08cAX81Wvwj5itLNIuA1i40c8/s320/n160000121_30142820_5524.jpg" border="0" /> <div>My wonderful bridesmaids :) <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268253006688743218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4JaQKh0umGrTKsD3i-fPBylMpIaP18FSZUUOBRrBNKDVsiEYffn9TrFDkatdSBblFmAfufB_tnrJVrt8OXO705rX8MT0v0Tcaa4MNh56Ks-AdP6aAizHPs4fa3TkmEJ_uUT8wemQthm8/s320/n160000121_30139379_8772.jpg" border="0" />I always liked this picture<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268253000326189090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ie5d8f5Pl1s_mimufll99hnZcJ8iH4NcpviCkFp25drg6kvkhFx6dy879Fbeto5UK2WjrwwoL-qHldl7U8XbHx8uX-ZQt9uX34vG69Xk4pjY-s1Eh1Hg-rcjJNFxyFAchHlTv5tE5R4/s320/n160000121_30139432_1323.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-23428413691240517122008-11-10T11:14:00.000-08:002008-11-10T20:52:12.614-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHquMHfjTXUInvg1SgEThsIvGZnoWaxdrxClxVzeYwn4B5AV4m7KQqwE-qjnCGlRGOvuzx1tYRXhDtFM4GGc9fgoaDW81FcASKBM1wd70mYz1D-T__TxZmpNL6Nk4-azE0zqLgfAZ9Sg/s1600-h/boo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267112005895488290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHquMHfjTXUInvg1SgEThsIvGZnoWaxdrxClxVzeYwn4B5AV4m7KQqwE-qjnCGlRGOvuzx1tYRXhDtFM4GGc9fgoaDW81FcASKBM1wd70mYz1D-T__TxZmpNL6Nk4-azE0zqLgfAZ9Sg/s320/boo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I had a wonderful weekend, Andy was off all weekend and his sister came in town to visit and see Drew. Drew spent the night with her and Andy's parents Saturday night so we had a relaxing night at home. I can't believe my baby boy is growing up so fast! He is 8 months old and crawling everywhere! And he stood up in his bed Saturday morning! I was so excited! He is getting his own personality and has the sweetest smile that will just melt you heart. I cant believe I will be having another baby in May, its so crazy to me to think of what will I do with two of them! Busy Busy Busy!! I never thought being a mommy was this much fun and its truly a blessing! Hope u have a wonderful day :) </div>michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628596387179653587.post-78826262890783864762008-11-05T11:18:00.000-08:002008-11-05T11:21:34.410-08:00Starting OverWell, I had a blog before, but I never wrote anything so I deleted it and I am trying again :) So here I am with my first post and hopefully going to continue to write more, now....let me go ahead and tell you I was not an English major and I hated English, so please ignore my errors and incorrect sentences :) I will post more later but just wanted to give a little intro today :) Hope u are having a blessed day :)<br /><br />Michellemichellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08983707581655530743noreply@blogger.com1
