Philippians 4:13
Philippians 4:13 --- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.

sad news...
On Saturday morning, our little baby was born into the arms of Jesus. We are very sad, but truly trust in the Lord and His plans and purposes for our lives and the life of this baby.
I really don't like sharing news like this on my blog, but to be honest I really don't want to run into someone who doesn't know and then we are both awkward when I explain, and most likely break down.
Please keep us in your prayers. I am doing better physically, but still working thru the emotions.

Dear Pets...
Dear Dogs and Cats:The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less
(2) don't ask for money all the time
(3) are easier to train
(4) normally come when called
(5) never ask to drive the car
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people
(7) don't smoke or drink
(8) don't want to wear your clothes
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college
and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children

The table cloth
Beautiful story.... makes you understand that things happen for a reason
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church
in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18 they were ahead of schedule and just about finished.
On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days.
On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had
leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.
The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone
the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was
having a flea market type sale for charity, so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful,
handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross
embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was
trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for
the next bus 45 minutes later.
She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc.., to put
up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and
it covered up the entire problem area.
Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor,"
she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria .
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten "The Tablecloth". The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria .
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and she never saw her husband or her home again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church.
The pastor insisted on driving her home. That was the least he could do. She lived on the other
side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return.
One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one
that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike?
He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was
supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten
Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier.
He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on
the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.

a baby changes everything
I have some scary--yet exciting news to share! Jeff and I just found out we are expecting! After two days of crying, I am now looking at this with a different view. We had planned on waiting a year or two, but obviously God had other plans. Though this wasn't something we had planned for, now that the shock has worn off, we are SOOO excited. Who doesn't love a sweet little baby? LOL. I sure hope God knows what he is doing...imagine me.....yikes.....a mom??? (Oh boy, extra prayers are definitely needed!) Its a good thing I've had so much experience with my siblings...it will sure come in handy.
We've spent the last couple days looking at baby names and making him/her baby blankets. (You know, the super easy cute tie together ones?? I made 3 of them in an hour!!) And we've already "picked" our names...though i'm sure they'll change a million times over the next few months!!
If you will please all keep me in your prayers as I enter this new season of life. And all the experiences that come with growing this new little life. And for a healthy pregnancy, specifically for my blood sugar.

Christmas on a budget
I am sooo excited for Christmas to come this year! Jeff and I decided to go nuts decorating our house! We are going to make a bajillion paper snow flakes and COVER our living room ceiling with them! We're also going to take actual Christmas tree decorations (mainly the round ones) and hang them from our ceiling also. And our outside decorations are going to make our neighbors go blind! (mu ha ha ha ha!!!) Our house will be the North Pole of Ceres! Have I mentioned I'm excited for Christmas to come this year? :-)
I'm at my mom's house right now. We've been talking about our Christmas gift spending budget. We've come up with a fantastic and super fun idea! All of us Ney's are buzzing about it! On Monday night we are going to our uncle and aunt's house. (Its a Monday night tradition...the guys watch football, and us girls giggle and talk over a plate of bean dip...yum.) This Monday we are going to go over our Christmas gift idea.
We decided to keep our spending minimum (which is very hard in a family of 12 plus auntie lynette and uncle micah (we all buy for each other) so we came up with the following idea...we are only allowed to shop at specific stores this year. (I'll include the list in a moment.) the stores aren't your traditional "Christmas gift" stores, but it will definitely be more of a challenge this year! Instead of running into walmart the night before Christmas and grabbing a few random items off of the end caps...we are really going to have to hunt...woohoo!!!
We've yet to fill in the $blanks on our list. And there are still a few changes to be made with the list. (I.E. added items, stores, ect.) So us ladies are going to be working the kinks out on Monday night.

The small print underneath "Homemade gifts" is...crafts, burned cd's, burned movies, sewing projects, soaps, and such. (we've got more to add...) Underneath the "Homemade baked gifts" is...cookies, candies, jar goodies (i.e. brownie mix in a jar, ect.) again...we have more to add.
I don't know if any of you know this...but I LOVE thrift stores. LOVE THEM LOVE THEM LOVE THEM!!! They are SO much fun! You do have to look for stuff, but underneath a lot of the junk is some really cool, nice, fun stuff! And dollar tree/99 cent stores...well, I live at them. lol. And who doesn't love a good yard sale?
Wooo hooo!!! I can't wait for the holidays!!!!!!!!

update time!
Hello blogger readers! I finally have a moment to sit down and write! Life has been really busy...but is finally slowing down. :-)
I haven't yet gotten my wedding pictures back...but will be getting them in the next two weeks and will definitely post pictures!
The wedding was beautiful! (Thanks to all my wonderful helpers...I could have never pulled it off myself.) Sadly though, I don't remember hardly anything about it. We were rushed along a lot, and didn't even get to say hi to anyone. But from what I have been told...it was very nice. :-) I can't wait to get my pictures and videos back and see what it looked like and who was there.
Our honeymoon was a blast! When we got back I couldn't remember anything about the first three days (It kinda freaked me out...thought I was loosing my mind!) but after some coaxing and prodding, little details came back. We didn't leave until Saturday night. (Saturday we had a bbq for our families and we opened our wedding gifts. It was a lot of fun.) Saturday night we stayed in Monterey in an adorable bed and breakfast inn. (I forgot my camera, but next time I get a chance, I'll post pictures of our honeymoon also.) The next day we walked around in Monterey a little bit, and even went by the Aquarium for a couple hours. We ended our afternoon at the place he proposed to me, where we ate lunch. Then we headed back out on the road. We drove up (or down??) to Solvaigne (spell check!) which is a Dutch colony. It was an adorable little town and we spent the day walking around there. That night we finished our drive down to SanDeigo. We stayed in The Surfer Beach Hotel for the next three nights (with two flat screen tv's--right next to each other!!) and we had a beautiful view!! For the next three days we walked around in SanDeigo, went to dinner and a movie (our first REAL date!!), spent some time on the beach, and one night stayed out walking on the water til 2am. The SanDeigo night life is so fun! Its very relaxed and peaceful, yet interesting. After our three days in SanDeigo we drove down (or up??? lol) to Anaheim. Let me state now, very clearly...THE DISNEYLAND SOUVENIR SHOPS ARE THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!!! Our hotel in Anaheim was awesome. We had a SPA in our bathroom!! (I'm dead serious...it was a spa.) Not to mention, on either side of us was a Coldstones or a Cheesecake factory. :-D yes, we did gain a few pounds that week. lol. We were only able to spend one day in the actual DisneyLand park, but we spent an extra day and a half in the Downtown Disney area. I've never been to DisneyLand before...but it was so fun!! And I loved the shops! I drove Jeff nuts (he wanted to hit all the rides...I was all about the toy shops!) We want to go back again very very soon. On Saturday we headed back home. That was the longest drive evvvvveeeerrrrrrr... lol.
When we got home we were surprised by the condition of our house. It was tp'd inside and out. (Complements of my siblings doing our tree outside, and some dear friends taking up toilet paper art on the inside.) Thankfully though, the surprise of a new bed in our bedroom kept us from getting revenge. The next several days were spent unpacking all our gifts and setting up house.
Since then we've been enjoying keeping house, going grocery shopping, cleaning and being together 24/7...no I haven't gotten tired of him yet. :-)
We recently got our rebate check in the mail. (There is a state promotional going...First time home buyers are getting a huge check for buying houses) We were very excited! We went out and bought new kitchen counters, sink, faucet, doors, screens, windows and couches!!! woo hoo!!
I got such a great deal on the couches. I went to ikea the other day with my parents expecting to spend at least $1500. (Each couch was $400, plus the slip cover which is $150 each.) While I was there, I decided on the spur of the moment to also buy an arm chair. I figured if I was ever going to get one, all three (sofa, love seat and chair) should wear evenly. The arm chair was $250. Then I had to pick my couch covers. I decided to get this super cute slip cover for the arm chair that was striped green, pink, white and burgundy red. This would be my accent chair and I would get burgundy red couches. Well since this isn't a color ikea carries, I decided to buy white slip covers and dye them myself (as my mom has done many many times with her ikea couch.) So I got both (love seat and sofa) in white. When we went to pick up all my furniture, we discovered that my striped couch cover was on clearance for $19!!!! (remember...used to be $150) I was ecstatic! Then I went to get my couch covers. I grabbed the two I needed and then again discovered that my love seat cover was on clearance for $11!!! INSANE! I got to the counter and watched as he rang everything up. Much to my delight, my sofa cover was also on clearance for $11. My total bill (with the extra armchair and cover, plus I ended up getting a 2nd love seat cover) was $1040. I was amazed and thrilled and ecstatic! Talk about saving money!!!
We immediately went to walmart to buy my dye. I got 2 bottles...all that I thought I would need. When I got home I started the dying process immediately. (This, by the way, is a loooonnnng process...) After the first batch was done, I took it out of the washer to lay out to dry, and to my horrors...it was HOT PINK!!!! I didn't have enough dye in the water. Ugh. Therefore, I had to dye the rest of my slipcovers and pillows to the same hot pink color before adding to it. It took me two days to get both couches hot pink. Finally I was finished with that. My house looked like a Barbie Dolls house!!! My dad said it looked more like Looney Tunes. Either way...hot pink wasn't going to cut it. I went out and bought 4 more bottles of dye. I started re-dying. 8 bottles later, it is finally a burgundy redish color. I am happy with where it is, but eventually (after my hands resume their skin color, and lose their hot pinkness) I will probably darken everything a little bit more. But it was a funny, irritating, long process that brought everyone lots of laughs!
Well, I am off...my family (well half of it...the other half is out fishing with my dad) is coming over to my house this afternoon to watch "Monsters VS aliens" and eat popcorn and lunch!

I hate weddings...
It is 11:00pm on Wednesday night. I am getting married in two days. I've got very little sleep this past week--and won't get much sleep from today til....I don't even know when. My dad, brothers and little sisters are all in bed asleep. My mom, Shelbie, Shaylah and I are still awake. We are all very very tired and extremely cranky. I won't even touch on the subject of how stressed we all are.
We have a list of stuff a miles long to accomplish. I can't figure out how we planned this wedding for months and months and now we're 48 hours away from it finally happening...and we have SO many things to do! This is awful...but I just realized today we didn't have our flower girl baskets. How do you forget that? We haven't gotten ANY beverages yet. I can't even guarantee that I'll have flowers at my wedding. :( The only thing I am sure of is we will definitely have our cakes and icecream.
Urg...
My day tomorrow is insane. Hectic. Crazy. I feel sick just thinking about it.
THANKYOU TO ALL WHO ARE HELPING ME!!!!
I am really hating weddings right now. They are overrated. Vegas would have been 100% easier.
I feel so bad for my mom and sisters. My poor mom is absolutely pooped. Shelbie is exhausted--she's been up since 7:00am cleaning (plus she had to work today!!) she went to work and as soon as she got home, she immediately went back to cleaning.
(btw...we're cleaning cause on Saturday we are having a bbq for family...)
Shaylah is standing in the middle of our playroom with her unhemmed dress on. My mom is laying on the floor with pins in her mouth ready to start crying. (Why didn't we just have it hemmed weeks ago???...now we're regretting our decision...)
We are out of printer ink and I have about 800 pages of paper that I need to print up. I am feeling very stressed about that...
A few hours ago, my sweet dad could sensing our stress, pulled out the ice cream. I am convinced that ice cream is therapeutical...we all needed it.
Hmmm...two more minutes and I can officially think "I'm getting married tomorrow..."
Please keep us all in your prayers. Pray that we get all of our stuff done. Keep calm. And keep God in the center of all of our planning.
Hey...it's official..."I am getting married tomorrow."
We have a list of stuff a miles long to accomplish. I can't figure out how we planned this wedding for months and months and now we're 48 hours away from it finally happening...and we have SO many things to do! This is awful...but I just realized today we didn't have our flower girl baskets. How do you forget that? We haven't gotten ANY beverages yet. I can't even guarantee that I'll have flowers at my wedding. :( The only thing I am sure of is we will definitely have our cakes and icecream.
Urg...
My day tomorrow is insane. Hectic. Crazy. I feel sick just thinking about it.
THANKYOU TO ALL WHO ARE HELPING ME!!!!
I am really hating weddings right now. They are overrated. Vegas would have been 100% easier.
I feel so bad for my mom and sisters. My poor mom is absolutely pooped. Shelbie is exhausted--she's been up since 7:00am cleaning (plus she had to work today!!) she went to work and as soon as she got home, she immediately went back to cleaning.
(btw...we're cleaning cause on Saturday we are having a bbq for family...)

I hate weddings...
It is 11:00pm on Wednesday night. I am getting married in two days. I've got very little sleep this past week--and won't get much sleep from today til....I don't even know when. My dad, brothers and little sisters are all in bed asleep. My mom, Shelbie, Shaylah and I are still awake. We are all very very tired and extremely cranky. I won't even touch on the subject of how stressed we all are.
