Heal our Land...

and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Oh God, how we need healing in our land now more than ever. I know we don't deserve God's mercy at all, for all our country has done is turn our back on God. We murder babies, take prayer out of schools, and now we're going into this new presidency with a muslim president who believes in partial-birth abortions. Our country needs prayer desperately, and we need to turn back to what we were founded on which is Godly morals and principles. I really can't say anything else except that I pray God has mercy on us again!!!

A little bit of Everything....

Okay so I am back to the blogging world. I know it has been a long time since I have blogged so I have lots to share. My travel season is going well with Southeastern. I am still in the middle of the season, but it is coming to an end very quickly. Just to update some of you readers out there, I posted not too long ago that Jordan and I have a possible job transfer to Nashville, Tennessee come May of next year well in the meantime because our apartment lease has ended, we have moved in with my parents into their basement until we have a definite “You are going to Nahville”. So this past weekend was spent moving everything we own and putting it in storage so now it seems like we are pretty much settled in to our basement apartment, but we are still working on some things. I am however, thankful we are out of apartment living for now. I know some people enjoy living in apartments, but I for one am not one of those people. It was a very temporary arrangement for Jordan and I, and we are glad to be out of it. The reason for this move to my parent’s house is we really do not know where we are going to end up come next May so we did not want to be stuck in a housing situation especially the way the real estate market is going right now so again another very temporary arrangement for us at this time. I absolutely cannot wait to just know where we are going. I am really counting down the days to the big move whether it be here or Nashville. I know once the holidays get here (which are coming really fast by the way) it’s pretty much downhill from there. Yay for the holidays coming!!!!

Okay on to other important things. I just wanted to share my opinion about this presidential election our country is facing. It is so scary to think that Obama might be the next President of the United States. He is a complete Socialist through and through and that scares me to pieces. I am however putting this entire election in God’s hands trusting that He will have mercy on our country yet another time. I don’t blame God for possibly wanting to take His hand off our nation one bit. I mean we have aborted 4 million babies in this year alone. We have taken His name out of everything. It would not surprise me if God is ready to place Obama in the presidency to send us toward the end times. According to the Bible, there is no America in existence in the end times. I believe that if Obama is elected as president, we are headed that way into a “No America”. I for one absolutely love Sarah Palin!!! If only John McCain had the enthusiasm and directness that she has, I believe the polls would be turned around. She doesn’t take crap from anybody, and I love that about her and that’s what we need. I would love to see Sarah and Obama go after it in a debate!! I am not saying this just because she is a female. I am saying this because I am praying that John McCain will pick up on these traits and attack his opponent the way he needs to. I got so frustrated watching the 2^nd presidential debate last night. Neither candidate gave me a direct answer as to what their plan is for the bailout situation, healthcare, and economy in general. We need to stay over in Iraq because the job is not finished over there. Obama wants to take the soldiers out, and the soldiers are wanting to stay there because they know it is not finished. All Obama wants to do is go after Osama Bin Laden which I am for doing also, but we can’t leave Iraq in the condition that it is in. UGH!!! I could go on, but for the sake of my readers, I won’t. We just really need to be on our knees praying that God will have mercy on our country for a little longer. If you’re not registered to vote, get registered!!!! We need Voters!!! Republican Voters at that!!! So sorry for the lengthy blog!

Taking A Break.....

Okay so I just wanted to inform all of our readers that I will be taking a break from blogging due to the fact that I have started my travel season with my job this week. It is going to be crazy over the next couple of weeks with seven college fairs within a four day period. I just wanted to explain for the delay that is about to come:) I am, however, really excited about getting to travel and not be stuck behind a desk all day!!!:) So I promise to blog by the third week of September that is when I will actually get a breather. Thank you for your patience as well as your understanding…haha!!!!

Happy Birthday To You!!!

On our way home!!

Leaving Brio and on our way to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert

There's the birthday boy!!!


Okay so just wanted to give you the weekly update. Sorry it is a little late. Jordan’s birthday was Monday, August 18^th so we decided to celebrate it the weekend before. We had a delightful meal at Brio and then went on to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. I also got him some clothes for his birthday. He is one spoiled hubby that is for sure. The sad part is- he knows it!! So anyways, then Sunday we went over to his parents house for his family birthday lunch. We just decided how we would spend out birthday dates because his birthday came before mine. We made an agreement to spend one night celebrating our birthdays together by ourselves and then hook up with the family and do whatever they want to do for our birthdays another night. It’s amazing how you have to appease the parties that are involved when you get married. I personally miss being single sometimes due to this particular part. Anyways, we had a great time, and I absolutely love it when my husband tells me it is the best birthday he has ever had!! Love you Baby and Happy Birthday even though it is a couple of days later now. Hope you enjoy the pictures!! They were taken to sum up the birthday event!!!

Beach Weekend!!!

Model pose from the sisters!!

Just a little update on what’s been happening in my life lately. I just got back from the beach this past Sunday with my sisters and a good friend. It was soo much fun and a much needed relaxing trip. Lately I have been stressed out at work with the enrollment being down and then Jordan and I are experiencing a change in living location. Our apartment lease is up at the beginning of October so we will be moving into my parent’s basement for six months while we are waiting on a job transfer to take place. So you can imagine how stressed out I have been with these changes. I really feel like I am so stressed because I do not necessarily like these changes that are coming about. Anyways, back to the beach trip, I am so glad I got to spend some quality time with my sisters!! It’s funny now that everyone is married except for my youngest sister, we realize how much time we do not get to spend together much less see each other. I will tell you one thing, I am personally tired of eating. It seems like we were eating every chance we got too which when you are on vacation is most of the time. I was so ready to get back and get back to my usual workout and eating schedule. But I do miss the beach and the simple life as some call it. I have posted some pictures above from the weekend. Until next time, Love you guys!!!!

And The Weddings Just Keep On Coming...

My funny hubby and me!!

The Ziermans and the Bankstons


Okay so I know it has been a while since I have blogged, I am so sorry. Jordan and I live a very busy life. It’s amazing how working full time for both of us and Jordan going to grad school part time takes a whole day or even a whole week up before you know it. Jordan and I live for the weekends!!! We get so excited about Friday because that means Saturday is coming which in turn tends to be a restful day sometimes. Over the course of our busy weeks, we have managed to take the time to attend some weddings on Saturdays. This past Saturday, as most of you know, was Tim and Stephanie Zierman’s wedding. It was absolutely beautiful!! Jordan and I had a great time catching up with some friends we had not seen for about a month. Stephanie was beautiful, and she looked so very happy and glowing the entire time. It’s so funny because you will go to some weddings, and you can tell by the time the reception comes around that the bride is just exhausted, but Stephanie held it together and didn’t look a bit tired although I know she was. I have a few wedding pics above to basically sum up Jordan and my time at the wedding.


Most of you know my brother-in-law (Jonathan) is engaged to my best friend (Brittany), and they are getting married on March 7, 2009. Well Sunday we ordered the bridesmaid dresses!!! YAY!!! She has officially decided on a color and a dress!! I am so excited about this due to the intense searching for the perfect dress and the flip-flopping of the color every couple of days….haha!! I love you Brittany, and I know you will read this so I am just as excited as you are about the official decision. Let me explain my future sister-in-law for a second, Brittany loves a lot of things and all of them are very different. She is not the type of bride that goes into the wedding planning knowing what she wants and the colors she wants it in. Picking her bridal gown was the easy part for her, but the bridesmaid dresses presented a challenge because she liked most of the dresses in the store…haha!!! But I am so happy for her and so excited about being a part of her special day!! She is so very sweet and doesn’t like to hurt anybody’s feelings which in turn leads to indecisiveness, but she would not be Brittany if she did not have this particular quality about her. Love you Girl!!! You thought I was excited about the wedding before, I am even more excited about it now!!!!

Weekend, Movie, and Pool fun!!!

I wish there was more to blog about, but fortunately, I finally had a restful weekend. It seems like Jordan and I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off ever since summer got here. We have had the joy of going to lots of weddings for our dear friends, and we have finally got it down to one more wedding for the summer. By the way, because I know Stephanie reads my blog, I am sooooooo excited about your wedding and I am looking forward to it!! So back to the weekend, Jordan and I had a restful yet fun weekend. We actually got to go on a date Friday night. We went to dinner and a movie, and yes, the movie was the DARK KNIGHT!! I must say, it was a good movie, but honestly it was a little too long for me. I mean I don’t mind two hour movies, but when you get into 2 ½ to 3 hour movies, you really lose me. For one thing, my butt was hurting from sitting in a chair that long even if it is a comfortable movie seat. I just can’t sit that long maybe because I am A.D.D. when it comes to sitting and focusing for a long time…haha!! No I am really not A.D.D. I just don’t like focusing and thinking about a movie plot for that long. Anyways, it was a good movie overall and is definitely worth seeing. I definitely enjoyed Friday night just being with my man! We tend to want to hang out in groups a lot or should I say, go out with other couples a lot which is fine, but every couple needs a night to themselves. Saturday was spent working out and going to the pool!!! Woohoo!! I love the pool and laying out in the sun! I am getting ready to go to the beach for the weekend of August 8^th so I am needing as much sun as I can get before the trip comes along. However, I do go to the tanning bed, but the tanning bed doesn’t tan you as dark like the sun does. I also love laying out with my girl friends. My soon sister-in-law to be came over and my little sister (Kelsey) so we had lots of fun girl talking and soaking in some rays. Anyways, I will quit boring you with this blog. I know it was just a bunch of rambling on about the weekend. Just thought I would catch everybody up on my life!! Until next time!! See ya!!
