GIVING THANKS

I just wanted to write a quick blog to share a few things that I am truly thankful for. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I think all too often we forget to stop for even a second and remember to actually GIVE THANKS on this day. This Thanksgiving I am especially thankful to be getting my husband back home with me. I think God may have played a very special part in making sure he made it home just in time for the holiday. God has watched over and has given strength I didn't think I had over the last 9 weeks and for that I am also VERY thankful. It would have been an awfully long nine weeks if I had been as miserable and scared as I thought I was going to be. I am thankful for the life that Jeremy and I are able to live...We have a place to call home, vehicles to drive, jobs that we both enjoy, great health, money in the bank, abundant happiness, Love, Respect and an all around amazing relationship. In addition to that we are also blessed with parents who love us, siblings who sometimes dont...LOL, 3 beautiful nieces who we absolutely adore, one wonderful Mamaw who is the last grandparent we have living, Friends that we can count on, a church that has truly blessed us, and a future that I know will be full of sooo much more!! We aren't rich and famous and we dont have the best of everything nor are things always perfect. Sometimes things are difficult but it is so important to always remember that most likely, no matter how bad you think you have it, someone has it worse. Be thankful for what you do have and dont spend so much time on what you dont!! GOD BLESS AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!

He's Coming Home!!!

I just talked to Jeremy and found out that he will be coming home on Thursday morning after his shift on Wednesday night!! I am so excited to know that he will be here to spend the holidays with me and the rest of the family. Holidays never are the same without that special someone. He is my family now, my other half and it just wouldn't have been the same if I didn't have him here. I was pretending it wasn't a HUGE deal that he wouldnt' be here but now that I know he is I can admit that I would've probably had myself a good ole fashion pitty party...LOL. I am just very excited and feel very blessed to know that he will be here and now I have just one more thing to be Thankful for!!!! My Prayers have been answered...I made it through 9 wks of him being out of town and now just in time for holiday, he is coming home. Now we can put up the tree and get ready for Christmas. I wanted to wait for him to get home but I cant wait to get the house all Christmas Ready. This truly is my favorite time of the year. I just love the Christmas Season! Well I guess I consider this my Blog featuring my husband since I think I have made it very clear just how much I love him and how VERY much he means to me!! I really dont think I need to feature him in one particular blog...You all will be hearing plenty about him in EVERY blog I write. What can I say...We may have been together for 3 yrs but we are newly weds :) Have a Good Night and A wonderful Wednesday!!!

My little Angels

Well I haven't quite figured out how I am going to keep this thing interesting considering I dont have any little ones or any on the way. They seem to be the most fun to keep up with but I will try to come up with something. Occasionally I may be able to share some stories about the nieces since they are our babies for now. Until we have children of our own we enjoy the time we get with them. Since I am just starting at this Blog thing I find it only fitting to write a little about all the very special people in my life and today I think I will feature my GIRLS!! Maddy Shea is eleven now and it really doesn't seem like she should be so grown up but she is. I hope that I can always offer her my support and advice as she grows up into a very successful and intelligent young lady. She is sure to do good with her hard head and big mind. What can I say, Shes my Girl!! Then there is Sweet little Raian Marie who will be two in December. She is the one right now that keeps us on our toes. When we get to babysit her, its an adventure and we love it!! I really think she's a bit partial to Aunt Dee Dee and Uncle OVIE but it may just be me. Either way we just adore her of course. Two is that fun age when you just never know what they may do, not to mention she is absolutely ADORABLE!! The youngest and happiest of the three is Miss Addison Baylee who is 6 months old and the happiest baby I have ever seen!! She smiles and laughs constantly. It is very rare to see her throw a fit. She is a little Doll! We haven't gotten to spend as much time with her as we would like but hopefully once Jeremy gets home and life gets back to normal that will all change. I am convinced that being an aunt is the next best thing to being a mommy! When ever I figure out exactly how to post pictures on this thing I will share some pictures of my little angels. Three precious little Girls. Jeremy swears we are going to have the first boy but I guess we will just have to wait and see. I used to say I would just die if I had a boy instead of one of those sweet lil girls but at this point I really wouldn't mind. No matter what, I have 3 great girls that I can shop for and spoil for many yrs to come so I think the family actually needs a Fiesty lil boy to mix things up a bit!! Everyone says its up to me...LOL!!
Hope everyone has had a great day. Mine is about to wrap up, well at work anyways and I am looking forward to tomorrow...Friday on a Wednesday and a 4 day weekend to follow!!

Just the Beginning

Okay so for awhile now I have been following Jonnica's blog and many others and thinking how fun that would be. I have had the last eight weeks with plenty of free time on my hands since Jeremy has been out of town but am just now deciding its time to start a blog. Here is Just a little about our Happily Ever After...We were just recently married on Aug 2, 2008. We are very happy and excited about getting to move forward and start an entire new chapter in our lives. Now you can follow along on our journey and see where life takes us. We are in a great place in life right now and are very thankful to God for all the we have been blessed with. We hope to start a family soon, thats on the top of our list, well getting Jeremy home is at the top right now but hopefully it wont be much longer. With his work its just part of it...He has to hit the road sometimes. I have done suprisingly well though. I am not a real by myself type of girl but I have managed. With the holidays coming up I am sooo looking forward to all the food, family time and SHOPPING. I love to Christmas Shop. I dont generally Love to shop but I love to shop for others so at Christmas time I make up for all the skipped shopping trips throughout the year. LOL!! I hope to keep this blog up to date. Thats the plan anyways so we'll see how it goes. I think it will be fun though so I am going to give it a shot. Happy Thanksgiving week to those who may not have time to get back online once it comes around. We should always remember that no matter how bad things seem there is ALWAYS something to be THANKFUL for!!!
