<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">Happy Thanksgiving!!!!</span> </div>
This year Thanksgiving will look at little different for the Whittens. Jon is working- most of his employees wanted the day off so Jon agreed. He is such an awesome boss! We have been together for almost 8 years and married for almost 6 and he has never worked a holiday so I am trying to be understanding. I know that his employees are very thankful to not have to work, and it is really a small thing overall. <br />
He will work 9-9 tomorrow, and I will do the visits with family by myself. I am grateful to see my family, but I will miss my husband something terrible. However, I am looking forward to the drive to Tuscaloosa and Gordo...lots of me time to sing loudly! Of course my mom and I will start our Black Friday shopping tomorrow night and well into to Friday.<br />
Black Friday shopping is a tradition that my mom and I have done for years...and most of the time there really isn't anything that we are going to get we just can not let it pass us by without joining in the fun. Black Friday for us is like hunting this time of year for the men in our family! It's a must!!! <br />
My Grandmother has said this year will be the last year that we do Thanksgiving at their house so that is little sad, but I am sure we will find a way to get together. I have lunch with my mom's side of the family, and dinner with my daddy and family. Tonight we celebrate Thanksgiving with Jon's family which I am sure will be fun. It seems changes are happening so we might as well embrace them and make the most of it. <br />
The Holidays just seem to be a little different this year. As much as I am looking forward to this years holidays...I am so anticipating 2013!!!! Already so many things planned...exciting things! <br />
<br />I hope your Thanksgiving is amazing, and that you find the time you spend with your family to be sweet filled with lots of memories. I know the Whittens have so much to be thankful for...more than we deserve! <br />
<br />Hugs, Lisa <br />

What if "IT" never happens? It being several different things that I have planned for my life...dreams...hopes...visions...things that God has placed on my heart...but what if IT...never happens?<br />
I am choosing to trust that God works all things together for our good, and that his knows the plan much better then I do. I believe that if those things were never going to happen then God would never have put such strong desires in your heart...but when they look impossible or hopeless...how do you keep your chin up and your faith strong? <br />
However, instead of dwelling on the things that have not happened....such as having a precious baby Whitten....I am going to chose to start listing the gifts I have been given....<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I am so beyond grateful for a God who sent his beloved son, Jesus, to die for a sinner like me. Who planned me and set me apart before I was even thought of by my parents. He loves me so much and my relationship with him is such a gift! </li>
<li>Jon-I am so thankful for the man who God chose for me. He loves me well, and he loves making me happy. He cares for the small things in my life that others would consider trivial. He is a good man, a wonderful protector, a provider, my friend, a set of arms who I fit in just perfectly, the only man I can imagine living my adventure in life with...he is mine...and I love him! </li>
<li>My momma- she is my biggest fan! She cheers for me and believes in me! Everyone needs a cheerleader in life and mine just happens to be my momma! </li>
<li>I am so thankful for the air that I woke up breathing this morning. So many are dealing with sickness and health issues...and we are never promised tomorrow. So the fact that I woke up breathing fresh air this morning is a gift! In spite of the day that I am having I will celebrate because I have life! </li>
<li>I am grateful for the amazing church family that we are surrounded by and are able to "DO" life with. They are some of the best friends and family a girl could ask for. They pray for us, they celebrate with us in the joys that life brings, they have held us up and comforted us with some of the heartbreak that we have had....they allow us to be just who we are...and love us for it. </li>
<li>The children- our friends children, my MPACT girls, Jon's ranger boys, the little ones at church....family...I am grateful for them. Jon and I get to share in the lives of many children and that means so much to me. That our friends and church family trust us to take their children and care for them...to go out and have fun...make memories...and share in their little lives brings so much joy to my heart! It brings some sense of purpose and relief to the fact that I still do not have my own. We get to be the best AUNT AND UNCLE....Mrs. Lisa and Mr. Jon...and that means something. Those who allow us to share in their child's life...thank you! You have blessed us! </li>
<li>My mother-in-law! She is an amazingly strong woman and one of the best RNs I know of. She and I could not be more different, but over the last couple years Jesus has changed me and opened my eyes...he is bridging the gap between our differences...and she is a wonderful lady who cares for so many! She raised an amazing son...and for that I could not be more thankful! </li>
<li>Autumn! I love this time of year. Driving along a back country road with the leaves blowing all over the road brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I believe autumn is a gift God gives me every year because he loves me! This season reminds of so many great memories....</li>
<li>I am thankful for CVS and VCI. Jon and I both have jobs we enjoy and they enable us to do the things we love to do outside of work. We both have bosses that are awesome, and we find our work fulfilling. Not everyone can say that! It is a gift! </li>
</ul>
<br />
The list could go on and on, but just listing the few that I have my spirit already is starting to feel lighter! Thank you Jesus for reminding me to find the light and joy even in the simple things...and not just at Thanksgiving, but all the time!

My blogging comes in spurts...and I really would love to be more consistent. I am going to work on that. Things have been so super busy and life has a way of just flying by. With all that being said...I am going to give it another shot. I have several topics that I would love to discuss so we will see what happens! <br />
<br />But for now...it's good to be back! <br />

His words are true...they are life! <br />
In my relationship with Jesus I have never known him to be unfaithful or his promises to be lies. Jesus has put so many dreams, ideas, thoughts, and promises in my heart...our heart... that it overflows. I am amazed at how he loves and cares for me and Jon. I can honestly say that if he calls me to the edge of a cliff and said JUMP Lisa...I would have too...compelled too! I have committed my all to him and his plan! I know that he has been faithful to catch me every single time in the past. Every step with him brings new adventures and challenges, but I would not have it any other way! My worst days now are better than my best days without Jesus! He is indeed the lover of my soul! <br />
There is a promise that is so dear and close to my heart, and I know that my father will be faithful to bring that to fruition! However, the waiting is hard sometimes! You can become discouraged which is why it is so important to surround yourself with amazing friends (Warrior Chicks) to help hold your feet to the fire and keep you encouraged when it gets tough to hold on!<br />
A dear friend sent this prayer/message today to encourage my heart...I wanted to share so you might be encouraged....<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts I think toward you, say the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.<br />
<br />
My prayer for you is to trust that God He loves you and you are his little girl that he treasures. I pray that the fact that this<em><strong> promise</strong></em> is not coming as quickly as you hope does not hinder those truths. I pray that this is not something the enemy can use to hurt you and make you feel rejected by Dad. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you and give you peace, and that you will feel His tangible prescence holding you today. <br />
<br />
Psalm 5:11-12 But let all those who rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those who love your name be joyful in You. For You O Lord will bless the righteous with favor You will surround them as a shield. </span><br />
Jesus help me to be patient and wait on you! Help me to keep joy at the forefront as I wait on you! Your timing is always right, and nothing catches you by surprise! Therefore, I know that you know better than I what the next great adventure for the Whittens will be, and I eagerly anticipate the journey! <br />

Jon and I went to The Secret for a little getaway at the first of the year. The views were beautiful! We stayed in the Tree House which was just perfect for us! <br />
The Innkeepers, Mrs. Diann and Mr. Carl were fabulous! <br />

(This image was taken from their website!)<br />
We loved every minute of it! Thanks for such an awesome trip and experience guys! We CANNOT wait to come visit again! <br />
If you want a great B&B experience then go visit The Secret!<br />
By the way, we are going to be sending some friends that way soon, and I am still planning the girls weekend to enjoy the rooftop pool! BIG HUGS!<br />

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love? Long story....but yes I do believe within a couple weeks I know that it was love and within the 1st month and half we knew we were getting married! I know that God created Jon just for me. We fit together so well. He is strong when I am weak. God has changed us so much since we got married, but the more he changes us the better we compliment each other! I knew in the beginning that we were in for an amazing love, a blessed life, and lots of laughter when I met my prince charming! Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful husband! I love him and I am so blessed! After 4 years he can still make my knees weak and take my breath away!<br />
<br />
2. What is your favorite room in your house? My living room! I love the colors. It is all very neutral with accents of sage green. It also has the pictures of my family and friends so it is nice a homey! Jon and I love to hang out there, and when friends are over it is the place where all the fun happens! It is the center of the Whitten house...<br />
3. Can you wiggle your ears? No....sad I know, but No I can not wiggle my ears!<br />
<br />
4. What is your evening ritual? Evening Ritual? I can honestly say that I really do not have one. Every night is different...my husband are rarely home in the evenings so the ritual would depend on the day! I am the kind of girl that before my head hits the pillow I am out! Boring I know, but that my life!<br />
<br />
5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function? 6-7. I always aim for 8 hours, but I never make it, but I know if I aim for eight then I will usually end up with 6-7 which I can easy function on. More than eight and I have a hard time getting going for the day....less than 6 hours and by 5 in the afternoon I am DONE!<br />

It actually wasn't that bad today! After work I went to church for prayer, and then followed it up with an hour and 10 minute walk with my bestie, Angelia! It felt great to workout, but it felt even better to talk with my friend before she starts her 7 day shift at work! [Insert sad face here!]<br />
<br />
So I just want to tell you guys about the new CD that I got from ITunes. We are having the Sacred Assembly at our church so I wanted to get some really good praise and worship music. So last night I purchased <em>Your Love Never Fails</em> from Jesus Culture! IT... IS... AWESOME!!!! I always try to have prayer time on my way to work in the morning since my commute is about 35+ minutes. It was amazing....my favorite song is "Your Love Never Fails"...the song says that Jesus works all things together for my good! My friend I believe every bit of that song. Last year Jon and I faced some decisions, and this year we are seeing some of the benefits that were produced by making some hard decisions. Jesus has been so faithful to work all things together for our good! Thank goodness he has not given us everything that we thought we needed or wanted right when we wanted. He is faithful and loves us so much that he has to wait sometimes because he has something better! <br />
Below is the video...enjoy and I pray that as you watch the video that you know that Jesus is working all things together for YOUR good! <br />
Be blessed! BIG HUGS!<br />

<strong>1. What movie could you watch over and over again and not get tired of?</strong><br />
I will admit that it is sometimes hard for me to sit down and watch a movie. I am a tab bit A.D.D and I love to talk so that kind of makes me a bad person to watch movies with. However, I have 3 movies that I could watch over and over. <strong>1st: Sister Act 2</strong>. I love this movie. It really works great for me when I can watch it alone because that way I can secretly sing and dance in my living room with the movie! Yes my friends...Sister Act 2 is an interactive movie for me! <strong>2nd: Dirty Dancing.</strong> I love everything this movie offers...the music, the dancing, the romance, and Patrick Swayze. I always feel so good by the end of the movie! <strong>3rd: Pride and Prejudice</strong>. This is one of the only movies that I can watch over and over again and dare someone else to talk through! I love the story. I simply takes me away and I become fully engaged! LOVE IT!<br />
<br />
<strong>2. What's your biggest pet peeve right now?</strong><br />
Ooohhh...that is a tough one! Right now I would have to say that my biggest pet peeve is that fact that some people think since Jon and I do not have children that we are not considered a "real family" and since we do not have children then we must not have anything going on in our lives...! This bothers me to my inter most core. Jon and I are a REAL family and our fur baby, Sarah Bear, makes us a family of 3! I know that children are different from dogs and that once you have children that your family of 2 becomes 3, but please do not act like just because it is just Jon and I that we do not make up a family! Also, just because we do not have children does not mean that we do not have anything going on...we both work full time jobs and are both actively involved in several extracurricular activities! <br />
<br />
<strong>3. If you had to describe your best friend in five words or less, what would you say?</strong><br />
Well, I have 2 best friend! <br />
<strong>Tiffany</strong> (best friends since 1st grade): giving, beautiful, talented, fashionista, and faithful.<br />
<strong>Angelia</strong>: fun, encourager, genuine, godly, and sweet.<br />
There are so many more things that describe them...so many stories! Five words do not do them justice in describing their greatness!!! Love you girls!<br />
<br />
<strong>4. If you did not have to worry about money or go to school what would you do for a living?</strong><br />
If I did not have to worry about money or go to school then I would love to be an arts and crafts teacher in the community! I would have a small studio somewhere centrally located in our neighborhood. I would offer these classes for free and it would be open to all children! We would do crafts with glitter, paint, lots of glue...we would plant flower pots and grow flowers! We would bring light and life to the world with all of our colorful creations! I would be able to offer them a snack (some children do not get much to eat at home...this I have learned from some of our children at Church), and I would wrap up our session letting them know just how wonderful and special they are! I would give lots and lots of hugs and let them know that Jesus and Mrs. Lisa love them very much...this would be my outlet...this is my passion! God has opened my heart to love children from all ages and backgrounds. My heart desires to love them and show them the love of Jesus...I have found that arts and crafts is a great avenue to bring the children in and they LOVE IT! It shows them how to be creative and it allows for opportunities to encouraged them to grow! I so hope that one day this will be more than a dream!<br />
<br />
<strong>5. What is your one "splurge" item, that you will always buy, no matter the cost?</strong><br />
Diet Mt. Dew! I drink lots and lots of water, but I do not think that I can function with out that beverage! There is nothing quite as refreshing as opening up a ice cold Diet. Mt. Dew when I am extremely thirsty...just thinking about it I feel refreshed! No matter the cost I promise I will always...ALWAYS people...splurge on Diet Mt. Dew!<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. What is your current favorite book, and why? </div><div style="text-align: left;">My current favorite book is <em><strong>The Love Dare.</strong></em> I am reading this book in preparation to do the 40 day challenge with our Young Married Sunday school class! I believe that my husband and I have a god centered marriage, and that we for the most part are good. However, I believe God is in the business of making good marriages great, great marriages awesome, and awesome marriages out of the world! So I am opening my heart as Jon and I are both reading this book saying, "God help me to be an awesome wife with an out of this world marriage!". </div><br />
2. Do you go to the dentist regularly?<br />
Yes. I go twice a year for cleaning and then if there is ever a problem. Side note: I am so very afraid of the dentist...I always go with IPOD in hand and lots of prayers said! However, I know it is so important so I put my big girl panties on and deal!<br />
<br />
3. What is your worst memory from High School? <br />
The worst memory of Sr. High was losing my paw paw. I remember that December 7th-11th like it was yesterday. My high school had won the 2A State Championship that Friday Dec.7th! The 8th was spent at the hospital watching as my grandfather struggled to breath and such...spent the day out there just talking to my family and having a few tender moments with him. The 9th I went back to the hospital and he was growing worse. I remember sitting there looking at him knowing he was in pain, but knowing just how much I was going to miss him. Monday the 10th I had school...I do not remember much about that. I know that Monday night I studied for a trig/pre-cal test with some friends. Tuesday morning my daddy woke me up because my momma was on the phone. My paw paw had passed away that night. My heart just broke....there is still part of my heart that is misses him so much! I CANNOT wait to see him...<br />
<br />
4. What do you hope to be remembered for in your life?<br />
This is hard...really what do I want to be remembered for? I want Jon to remember for being an awesome wife...his closest friend, the one who held his heart, and the one that will forever be his "beloved"! With my momma I want to be remembered a her precious daughter...her friend! God has healed the relationship that I had with her and now we are super close. I want her to remember the good times, my laughter, and "the moments" that changed us for the better! My daddy...I simply want to be remembered as his baby girl...the one that loved him so much it hurts and how proud that I hope I make him! <br />
I hope I am remembered as a great friend who was always there, a listening ear, an encourager, and for the joyful, easily excited spirit that the Lord has blessed me with. I want to be remember as woman that gave it all for God, who was not perfect by far, but who loved hard, gave much, laughed often....<br />
<br />
5. Are you superstitious or do you have any superstitions?<br />
I wouldn't consider myself to be superstitious per say. However, when a black cat darts in front of my car it takes everything I have not to turn around and head for the hills. I also think that to have good luck in the new year you should eat black eyed peas...but do I fret if I did not have black eyed peas of New Years...no!!! I have broken a few mirror and opened umbrellas indoors and nothing....God takes care of me and works ALL things together for my GOOD!<br />

We will be staying in a Cottage at the B&B called "The Tree House". It is made like a tree house...I think it will be super fun! I am packing the camera and our new camcorder so we will be able to make lots of memories exploring the area and hiking around! I am so looking forward to getting away for a few days before we blast off in to 2011! <br />
2011 is shaping up to be a busy year and it is has not even started yet! However busy...it should be exciting! There are certain things I want to get done within the first couple months of 2011! My number one is purging all of the bedrooms and closest in my house! We have too much junk (I use the word junk fondly because most of it is mine and I am quite attached to it)! Number two: to start blogging more regularly!!! We will see how that goes!<br />
I am also very much enjoying my GLEE soundtracks that I got for Christmas and Jon's Kinect. We have the game Dance Central, and oh my goodness is it fun!!!! My friend, Angelia and I have been dancing it up! <br />
<br />
If I do not post again before...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

<span style="color: #38761d;">1. Wrapping paper or gift bags?</span><br />
Wrapping paper...with lots of pretty bows and ribbon. I think that Christmas present wrapping is art!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">2. Real tree or Artificial? </span><br />
Artificial with clear lights! Jon and I tried our hand at the real tree, and lets just say that it did not go so well. <br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">3. When do you put up the tree? </span><br />
We usually try to wait until the weekend of Thanksgiving...however this year we have been extremely busy so the only weekend we had was the weekend of Nov. 14th... so we took that weekend to put all of stuff up including the Christmas tree.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">4. When do you take the tree down? </span><br />
We usually try to have the tree down before January 31st! We love our tree and the way it looks in our house...so we wait til the very last minute. You know...right before the folks next door start to think we are crazy!<br />
<br />

All four of my parents! They are all hard to buy for...man my brain hurts thinking about it!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">7. Easiest person to buy for?</span><br />
Jon...he always tells me what he wants.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">8. Mail or email Christmas cards? </span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">9. Favorite Christmas Movie? </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">18. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? </span><br />
People who are more worried about what they are going to get and buy that they forget the real meaning of Christmas. It is important that we remember God send his only son Jesus to be the baby who would grow to be the man...the lamb that would die so we could have ever lasting life...that my friend is the best Christmas gift of all! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">19. What do you want for Christmas this year?</span><br />

I am excited and simply cannot wait to start celebrating with my family. However, I am writing this post to ask for your prayers....<br />
Please pray for a dear member of my church, Robert Conwell. Robert is the same age as me and Jon, and is currently fighting for his life. The week around Thanksgiving he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He has been undergoing treatments, and his immune system is completely wiped out. Infection has setup somewhere in his body, and he has been admitted to ICU yesterday. The doctors said that first 24 hours were critical, and Robert made it thur that, but he is not out of the wood yet. Doctors said that our prayers seem to be working, but I just ask that if you read this to please take a moment to pray for Robert and his family. He is an awesome man of God who works with the Youth at our church. He has so faithfully brought the van girls to my classes on Wednesday night, and he has inspired so many. His family is keeping us updated. I know that God is the healer and works all things to together for our good....after all Tis the season for Miracles!!!! <br />
<br />
This came from my dear friend and Sunday School teacher, Cindy:<br />
"He is in septic shock; which means his blood pressure has dropped; he's retaining fluids, his kidneys are not functioning. He has developed some sort of infection and has no immune system to fight it so they are giving him huge amounts of antibiotics. As of last night when we were there, they intubated him and doctors said the next 12 to 24 hours would be crucial. Ps. 118:17...."I will not die but live and tell of all you've done". "<br />

I am excited about seeing my family and of course spending time with Jon. Christmas is our favorite time of year. We love the fact that God has blessed us so that we get to take time to bless other people. <br />
Tonight we are having our Christmas party in the MPACT girls club. We are watching the Polar Express and having snacks. I love those little girls so much, and I am so blessed to get to celebrate with them. Should hopefully have some cute pictures from the party!<br />
Friday my mom and I will hanging out making Christmas goodies all day, and then Saturday I will get to see my best friend Tiffany! We will be having a girls day...Charming Charlie's here we come! Sunday we have our Young Marrieds brunch and Christmas social that night! Lots of things to celebrate and so many things to be thankful for. <br />
Jon and I will be heading to Gordo on Thursday of next week. We are excited because this year we are having a Christmas Feista at the Bordelon house! Should be lots of fun! I will get to see most of my family while we are there for a couple days. Then Jon and I will come back for Christmas with his family Christmas night...Not to mention there should be a Couch/Whitten Christmas and a Wright Family Christmas at some point! We love our friends and family. <br />
I am most excited about Jon and I taking a couple days to steal away at the end of the year to enjoy each other's company and make some plans for the new year! We are leaving town and not telling anyone exactly where we are going...maybe because we don't know where we will end up! LOL I cherish every moment that I spend with him...we got some adventures planned for 2011 that should be pretty exciting! <br />
Well...off to do some productive things....Merry Christmas!!!! Big Hugs from the Whittens!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07890926194832043026noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035179614801372746.post-37085130358672966702010-11-15T21:06:00.001-06:002010-11-15T21:08:08.679-06:00Pretty in Pink Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are some of the pictures from the Pretty in Pink Party!

If you would have asked me 10 years ago or even 5 years ago if I thought my life would be where it is now I would have laughed and said no! However, God is so good and his love is full of grace and mercy...he works things out not the way we want, but how he plans and knows what is best for us. I am grateful that the did not give me exactly what I wanted...for he knows the plans he has for me...they are far better than anything I could have planned for myself! I know it is not quite Thanksgiving...and Halloween has not passed yet. However, I think it is ok to be grateful year round...so here are some of the things that I am grateful for...<br />
<ul><li>I am so thankful to my Jesus! He saved me, and gave me life. I am so far from perfect, but he still continues to love me and direct my steps. He believes in me and what he calls me to do. He blesses me beyond my imagination...in good and bad he is always there. Unlike people; my Jesus never fails. As a side note: he taught me that even when people might fail me that they still love me, but like me they are only human and deserve to be loved still in return. He has taught me more about myself (how he has created me to be) and how to love others the way he wants us to love. He has taught me to be a giver and how to really trust him in all things. Time and time again he has proven himself faithful and trustworthy even with the smallest things. He taught me that "It" no matter what it might be is worth fighting for and that he will send other along by my side to fight with me...I am NEVER alone. He has also taught me that I am beautiful and that he delights in me and all that I am. For one of the first times in my life I can look in the mirror, and actually believe it when I say I am beautiful...I want to help others see that beauty in them! The list could go on and on...Thank you my sweet Jesus!!!</li>
<li>I am thankful for Jonathan. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when God created Jonathan he had me in mind. He is the best friend a girl could ask for and a wonderful husband. He is certain to always make me feel special and beautiful. This will not surprise anyone, but I am a girly girl...and for some an acquired taste. Jon makes me feel comfortable in the way that I am...he is makes me feel that being girly is something fabulous and special...that I am one of a kind!!! I honestly believe that he loves that about me. I will be the first to admit that it is not always a bed of roses at the Whitten house, but we are quick to make a mends. We always support one another no matter the issues because we are Team Whitten, and I can honestly say we are each others biggest fan! When Jonathan and I started dating it was fun...I loved him then. When were married I knew that I wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with him. Now...when he smiles it still lights up my world, he touch still sends chills up my spine, and his hugs can make the worst day better. He will be an awesome dad one , and I absolutely cannot wait to expand our family. As we grow older, we still enjoy acting like children...we enjoy the simple things. Jon is a strong man. When I feel like my world might crumble Jon is the actual face that I can look into that says it will be alright...just trust. He keeps me grounded...and is the glue that holds things together when I am being spastic. Just for my personal memories some of my favorite things that he does: 1. he calls me beautiful (like as my nickname), 2. he tells me I am cute, 3. he allows me to cry when I feel like crying...he will just hold me, 4. he takes Sarah to the vet because I am not brave enough too, and 5. he takes special time most night to tuck me in bed under the covers and kisses my forehead goodnight. I am so thankful to share my life with Jon. </li>
<li>I am thankful for my family. I know I stay really busy, and do not always have a ton of time for visits. However, I hope they know that are never far from my heart. I love each and every person I call family. I hope in 2011 I will be able to see everyone more...</li>
<li>I am so thankful for my friends! Friend make life more enjoyable! </li>
<li>I am thankful for a great job that I love. The company that I work for is wonderful with great people. I know that God gave me this job, and I do not ever want to take it for granted! I just feel lucky to have great co-workers that make working fun!</li>
<li>I am thankful for season...I do believe life would get boring living with one season year around. I love each season for different reasons, and each are beautiful in there own way. Winter- I love winter because it gets cold and is great for cuddling...sometimes we get snow here in Alabama which makes everything look beautiful. Winter is great for wearing sweaters...Winter also reminds me to slow down a bit to take it all in. Spring- I love spring because of all of the new life...flowers begin to bloom, trees get leaves, the world wakes up, and things start anew! Summer- I love summer because I love the sound of children laughing as they splash around on their carefree summer days. You get to go swimming...it is great for grilling out and get together! Fourth of July Fireworks!!! Fall- Fall is my all time favorite time of year. I love the smell of fall. It is football season. Not to mention the beautiful colors of the leaves...pumpkins...fall festivals...etc... I love it! </li>
</ul>My list could go on and on...I am just thankful for where I am in my life and for all the blessings I have been given.Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07890926194832043026noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035179614801372746.post-7498958431150173012010-09-30T12:45:00.000-05:002010-09-30T12:45:33.042-05:0091 days left...here we go!Wow!

We both celebrate our birthdays this month, I absolutely love FALL and all of the little trick or treaters that visit, and of course our yearly trip to the Pumpkin patch!

I know we will be having a blast as 2010 comes to a close, but there is also a part of me that thinks about some of the things we did not get accomplished this year and some of the things that are to come next year. I am not sure if I should be excited or nervous! The one thing I am sure of is that I am very blessed and I will certainly enjoy every moment of the next 3 months! Here's to Fun, Friends, and Family!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07890926194832043026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035179614801372746.post-43952184672392106582009-04-06T16:52:00.002-05:002009-04-06T16:54:41.293-05:00God has blessed me....God has blessed me with a great job! I am currently employed as an account coordinator for a marketing firm. I am super excited. I am on the phone a lot, but I love the job. I started on Tuesday of last week. <br />There is so much more I want to say, but all I am can manage at the moment is that I am truly blessed indeed! God is good, and he hears our prayers!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07890926194832043026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035179614801372746.post-65967397105342295752009-02-17T15:58:00.005-06:002009-02-17T16:08:55.668-06:00Trusting GodGod is teaching me to trust him now more than ever! I am learning to trust God with my family, friendships, finances, my future, and marriage. I have always been so quick to say that I trust God and I put my faith in him, but I am actually learning now that there is so much more to that! I am honestly learning to trust God with everything. I have so much joy now! It is hard to let go and totally let God, but the benefits are so great! I am not saying that I there yet, but I am learning. God is dealing with me, and I am giving it to him! I have always been a planner. My ducks had to always be in a row, and there was always plan to get things done! Well, my friends God has shown me that my plans are not always his plans! There are many things going on right now, but God is in control! Jonathan and I are right where we are suppose to be! Thank God for his love, mercy, and certainly his grace!<br />Jon and I have talked, and while I have been able to slow down some since I have been laid off; God has be totally revolutionizing my love for him and my relationship with him.<br />I am not perfect, and neither is Jon, but God is defiantly working on us. He is molding us! Praise God for that! He is so faithful! Praise him for what he is doing in us, through us, and for us!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07890926194832043026noreply@blogger.com0
