One More Wedding
Hello webland. . . I am finally updating this thing again. It's finally Friday, for our household that normally feels like a Thursday to most since Craig works on Saturdays, but this weekend is a little different. We are headed to Natchitoches tonight for my brother Payton's rehearsal dinner. He is getting married tomorrow to Tracey Tousek. They went to high school together and have been dating for over a year. I will post some pictures when I get some back. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I will post again soon! TaTa for Now!

updates
I'm not the best at updating this thing, and I don't know why. But here it is. Craig and I have been just trying to get plugged into our "new" church. We joined Cook Baptist Church a couple of weeks ago, and we have also joined the choir. It's pretty neat, because our music minister is a guy that my dad sang in a group called "The Shades of Light". This was like back in the 70's. Brother Dave's wife was also one of my dad's best friends growing up and now Craig and I are having the opportunity of getting to know them but also their children that are around mine and Craig's age.
We have also started a seminary extension course through the Concord Union Baptist Association. It meets once a week on Tuesday nights and we are studying ISaiah. Man, you think you are familiar with the Word of God, but taking a class like this really opens your eyes to see how much more there is to learn and even how scripture applies to today's world.
Well, nothing much is really going on here in the city of Ruston. I need to get going. We have our Choir "Christmas" party tonight and I am hopefully going to get to talk to a lady about a J-O-B today! Whoa!
Hope all is well with everyone that reads! Let us hear from you! And Becky - the Abner family has made the Rush refrigerator! I loved my snail mail and be looking for some in return! Take care!

Sunday Afternoons

going to the park and reading.

Isaiah 43:10
Good Saturday morning to all! It's about 9:45am and at this point Craig has been fed, sent off to work, and probably already in the warehouse rearranging furniture. As for me, I have just finished my morning bible study and about to drink a cup of java.
Last week I decided that I was going to start the Beth Moore bible study series called Breaking Free. For anyone out there that hasn't been through this study, DO IT! Man, I didn't even realize that I was a captive until I started digging into this study and the WORD!
Memory verse for this week is Isaish 43:10
"You are my witnesses," declares the Lord,
"and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know me and believe me,
and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
nore will there be one after me."
Powerful stuff. What a wonderful purpose statement. One thing that this study is doing for me, is helping me to put back into perspective the things in life that really matter and releasing the chains that Satan has used to bind me up and make me unusefull to the kingdom of God.
Since our wedding, Craig and I have really began to seek the Lord and daily surrendering our lifes to the Lord. We really have no clue as to where we will be come 2007 but we do know that the Lord has created both of us for more than mediocrity.
God is a good God and He is a big God and we are so estatic about what He is already doing in our lifes and what He is going to do.
One last thing I have learned already in this study is a simple way to know if you are being held captive.
There are 5 Benefits God plans for us to enjoy, and if we are not enjoying all 5 of them or do not see them present in our lives, then we need to check and reevalute our captivity level.
5 Benefits:
1. To know God and believe Him
2. To glorify God
3. To find satisfaction in God
4. To experience God's peace
5. To enjoy God's presence

Bridal Picture
&nbsThis picture was taken by my grandmother the day I was having my bridal pictures taken.
Anna Catherine & Cook Baptist
&nbIt is just so amazing to me how quickly children grow. This picture was taken just last week at Anna's last day of swimming lessons. It seems as if just yesterday she was 2 feet tall and couldn't speak too well. And now she is going to first grade in just a couple of weeks. Anywho, hope you all enjoy the picture. I am a proud sister, who almost feels like she is my own child.
Craig and I are settling in well in Ruston. We have really been praying for the Lord to lead us to a church home that we can become a part of and we are happy to say that it looks like Cook Baptist Church is going to be our new church home. This church is on fire for the Lord.
The pastor has been there a little under a year, and just last week that called a new youth minister and university minister and both excepted the call. Brother Mike, pastor, preaches the Word. He doesn't skip around the "sticky" issues as some might call them, in fact, he says that is someone tells him not to stay on a certain topic for too long, he says that he thinks he will stay there even longer.
All in all, Craig and I are excited to be in a church family that is a praying community and they aren't afraid to do whatever it takes to reach out to others and share the gospel. Check out the website. It's still under construction.

Will post more later! Hope you all have a wonderful day and remember to bless someone along the way!

Geaux Tigers!
If you are singing the LSU fight song right about now, then you have entered our bathroom! I am a LSU fan all the way, but Purple & Gold just isn't the same without it's Purple! I guess you will have to see who wins out!
See why we got New Carpet?
Ok, so I think this carpet had been down in the house since the house was built back in the ummm. . . 1840's!?! It was some of the nastiest carept I had seen or even smelled. Yes, that is right it smelled like cat pee! Out with the old. . . In with the new!
Master Bedroom. . .
I was really trying to get some good before pictures of our master bedroom. . . but I couldn't help but notice that hot boy doing all the pudding of holes! You go Craig.
Ruston here we come
After a busy 6 months of planning and anticipation, mine and Craig's engagement period is coming to an end. The single life is over. And with this comes. . . Rest & Relaxation!
Since the end of May, Craig and I have been busy trying to combine two lifes into one. This not only means going from two places of residence to one, but it means preparing the one place before moving in. We have painted every wall possible, had carpet laid, started a flower bed, and began trying to make our house a home! Here are a couple before & after pictures. Enjoy!
