11月1日 totally skipped summer, didnt i?soooo i totally skipped the summer blogs... must have been too hot...or too busy... since izobel was born and we love spending time with her...also chelsea getting her GED prep stuff out of the way, and eric and viki pretty much the same as last spring... back at school and working and trying to pay bills.....anyways now it is fall and the leaves are FINALLY changing and are sooo pretty this year! sooooo here are a few pics.... 5月19日 May 19- wow, where does the time go?i cant believe how time flies... this month is a crazy month filled with graduations, showers, wedding and MORE graduations and inbetween it all i was blessed with a trip to panama city. out of the blue... here one day, gone the next...soooo cool how things work out. i am wondering about the power of letting go and letting God ... that used to be my favorite saying ... LET GO, LET GOD and i truly believed it... but how easy it is to just try and take that control back and live the way "I" want to live. I know others also struggle with this and that it is so human to do so but i wish i could remember more often that sometimes God may have something better in store for me. As the crazy hectic month of may unfolds i hope and pray that others will also LET GO, LET GOD and do what He would have them do... how much less stressful and chaotic our lives might be!
Being at the beach really brings about a peace that is undescribable to the busy world.
4月21日 April 21- fanaticA fanatic is one who can't change his mind and
won't change the subject."
Sir Winston Churchill
i dont know why fanatics bother me so much.... i need to look into this one...
these pictures remind me of the beginning of spring at my house 4月11日 April 11- Do more...Do More ======= Do more than exist ...live. Do more than touch ...feel. Do more than look ...observe. Do more than read ...absorb. Do more than hear ...listen. Do more than think ...ponder. Do more than talk ...say something. ~John H. Rhoades~ 2月13日 Feb 13- here i stand....here i stand.. wondering how it's come to this. my face stained with tears, my mind filled with grief, and my broken heart lying in my weak hands the beautiful LIfe i've so often touched seems so distant now and all around me i'm swallowed up by my pain but somehow somewhere i sense a distant shaking it starts slowly, and grows steadily and as it becomes overwhelming pure light slices through this oppressive darkness revealing my sin and my dirty, sick heart and in this blinding light all my pretenses fall to the ground and i'm left there it's me and You and I have nothing to say except "save me, Father" And as You reach out and touch my broken places I feel my shame, apathy, and selfishness melting away You're not intimidated by my sin or afraid of my evil, twisted thoughts Once again I dare to hope Once again I dare to love Once again, I realize.. You are the Faithful One in my life You are the One who sets my heart free You are Good thrown into this dark world and you make All Things New. 1月25日 Jan 25-happinessHappiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.
We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.
Your world is a living expression of how you are using and have used your mind. 1月19日 Jan19- what more can i say.... If you don't like something, change it,
if you can't change it, change the way you think about it!
 1月5日 Jan 05- Happy New YearI can not believe i've not even put anything in for a week! Time flies. Life is good and hopefully this year will be a blessed one for our family again. Last year was so great as far as seeing old friends and family and going to St. George Island (hopefully going there this year again, maybe for 2 weeks if i get my way!!)
It was so nice to have my mom here living near and seeing her every week and all the great friends we have, especially the Escher family, they do so much for us with Chelsea and she feels so comfortable at her "other" house. It is so nice that Juvanna takes the time and has the patience to really help Chelsea learn what she needs to know and also they memorize bible verses! That is so cool, i can not remember anything so it is great that Chelsea will have that foundation.
This year we should be starting up our small group with church and I think that will be a great experience and hopefully bring people closer together and offer some moral support! It is also sad to think that half the church will be splitting and starting a new church in Villa Rica. I do not want to be without a praise band, way to depressing to think about.
Cris and Coli will get married in May and start life as a couple, also Michelle and Shane will get married in March in Hawaii!! Now Becky and Michael need to set the date and all will be good. Jennifer is due in July and then we will be grandparents!! WOW! Should be an exciting year.
So, thats all for now, I'm at work so i may go home and add more later.
I pray for y'all to be at peace in your lives and live happy and productive lives and be in God's will!
monica 12月28日 Dec 28- post Christmas quotesMost men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste
that they hurry past it.
Soren Kierkegaard Don't forget to love yourself. Soren Kierkegaard God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners. Soren Kierkegaard
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.
When you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, "It is talking to me, and about me."
12月16日 Dec 16- post Christmas PartyLast nite we had our Christmas party at MoMoYa's. The food was good and the company too. (see pics) Its getting so close to Christmas! i'm spending the day wrapping and buying last minute stuff. Tomorrow is a Christmas Concert at my moms church and then i'm sure the week is going to fly by! Looking forward to an extra day off the day after Christmas. Eric and Viki are finishing up at school and getting ready for a long Christmas break. Chelsea has school but will take off the week between Christmas and New Years.
12月8日 Dec 08- Happy Anniversary to me and ernieToday is our 21st (!) anniversary..... wow.... hard to believe. We are going out on Saturday to eat ... something... not sure where yet.... and go see "walk the line" movie. Should be fun...the house will be decorated for Christmas by SUNDAY! and hopefully all the gifts will be bought! i'm ready to kick back and enjoy the holidays.... it isnt always easy to buy for people but i am going to try my best to make good choices.
so, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to US!

P.s. i chose this color cause it matched my wedding dress..... LOL!! 12月6日 Dec 06- reality"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." I took this quote off my profile, it said it was a favorite quote but as age would have it, i totally forgot all about it. i think it is really a good one though and so true. Sometimes in life the reality of our situation is very hard to face even with the little things in life. so many people have such trials and tribulations and i think that i am, and my family is, so very blessed. God MUST know what He is doing because He hasn't given me more than i can ever handle and i am so spoiled by His love and forgiveness. It makes me sad that other people that i love and cherish as friends do not know the freedom that Gods' love gives you and that He is the one to have control over our lives and loves to show us just how awesome He can make our lives. We only have to stop believing the lies that satan tells us. Easier said than done on any given day. Prayers today for my friend Susan going thru some spiritual warfare... she can be so strong but sometimes you just need that extra boost that praying friends can ask God for. so say a prayer for my prayer warrior that she feels the love and peace that God wants her to have.
a quote from becky at work... "Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas" and what a wonderful look that is.
Feliz Navidad,
monica 12月1日 Dec 01- its already december!!!i cant believe its 25 days till Christmas.... I need to get on the ball... here are some inspirational quotes for anyone that is thinking negatively at this time of year when it is so easy to be stressed...
You can transcend all negativity
Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness, we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.
I have never known any distress that an hour's reading did not relieve. 11月30日 Nov 30- quotes todayTo be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
George Santayana To know what people really think, pay regard to what they do, rather than what they say.
George Santayana The family is one of nature's masterpieces. George Santayana 11月19日 Nov 19- Goblet of Fire Went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!!! Good movie. only one part was kind of wierd but the rest was really really good. cant wait for the next book... i may read # 5 again now. I had a fun day with susan hanging at the mall..... till later....,me 11月10日 Nov 10- be a warriorBe a WARRIOR, not a WORRIER! All obstacles are simply tests for us to overcome. God's love will always set you free."

thats all for now!!! me 11月8日 Nov 08- quotes
All emotions are pure which gather you and lift you up; that emotion is impure which seizes only one side of your being and so distorts you. Do not assume that he who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. His life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, he would never have been able to find these words.
Rainer Maria Rilke I have never been aware before how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several. Rainer Maria Rilke 11月4日 Nov 04- so far so goodi have been doing really good getting away from sugar. YEAH! so far i havent had any for 3 whole days and i already feel better. i have had a few more carbs than i should by eating a few crackers with my salad but besides that i have done really well. so thanks to all for prayers and support and not being negative!
the new orleans girls are officially gone from our house! sooooo sad and QUIET! they were so much fun when we got to hang with them. looking forward to meeting samanthas mom and new boyfriend alex on saturday though!

and just a thought.... DR. DIX IS SOOOO GOOD TO US! He is just so great sometimes and i feel so fortunate to be working for him!
i better motivate and get my weekend started... it seems like it will be a busy one!
me
I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1 NLT 11月1日 Nov 01- 1st day of the rest of my ......atkins life! ok, today is the day.... i grossed myself out on sugar yesterday... thanks to dr. dix and the 3 white choclate macadamia nut cookies and the reeses blizzard from dairy queen, and special thanks to chels for those awesome always good brownies and to my neighbor juliette that made the best fudge i've tasted in a long time!!
So, today... started off right with my low carb egg burrito with bacon and cheese! i have to do blood tests Friday so i have to be really good till then and i want to stay under 20 carbs a day till thanksgiving!!!
NO NEGATIVE thoughts allowed from anyone!!
I know i can do it as i did it for a year before july and have been careless since then.... So this is where i will confess and i hope i have nothing to confess.... i will allow a treat once a week but that is it! no exceptions!!!
so say some extra prayers for me that i can stick to it. thanks!
ME

Besides the fact that i totally want them to.... soooo here the girls are making peanut butter balls that are to die for. And of course, i had to eat .. more than one!!! OMG sooooo many more! sooooo the plan is to eat thru halloween and then... starting Nov 1st back on NOOOO or very very low carbs for 2 weeks.....then i will increase my carbs very little till Thanksgiving and eat whatever i want at the BLOEMKERS on the Tuesday before and then again on Thursday. and then back on the very very low carbs till Christmas... sounds like a plan, huh? now if i can only keep my head on straight and not be tempted... that would be so cool.....so please pray that this will happen as i would like it to and that i would lose a substantial amount of weight by summer. thats my goal. there you have it.

Oct 17- attitudeAttitude is a reflection of the person inside. And while the external circumstances in your life might go crazy from time to time, you can always chart your own path by grabbing onto a great attitude. Think about it. Having a great attitude is not the result of having a great life; having a great life is the result of having a great attitude.
It's not what happens to us that matters the most, it's how we interpret what happens that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future. It's not the problem that cause difficulty, it's our reaction to it. And it's not what happens to us in our lives that shape us, it's our beliefs as to what those events mean.
One foot in front of the other, one step at a time is how we get from where we are to where we need to be.

Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth. Sara Teasdale 10月7日 Oct O7- Strong Woman
