Big Update & Happy Thanksgiving !

Hey guys well I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted but with the holidays I have been busy. But things have been going pretty good and just keeping busy with life.

As some of you know I just recently went to Tae Bo certification camp and I have been waitng for it seems ever for an answer. Well monday I found out that I am now an oficial Certified Tae Bo ® Fitness Instructor. WWOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOO! I praise God for all the blessing He has given me to do this and I know it was His will. My prayer now is that He can use me in a mighty way. So that is the major update and I am so excited for my first class. I am training and planning and getting ready for my first class which should be in a few weeks. I hear they are in desperate need of instructors at our base gym and I am hoping to be able to teach there every so often. I will keep you all posted the more I know.

Well Happy Thanksgiving all and I hope you have all had a blessed day because I know I have. I love that we are really not doing anything but spending time as a family and just relaxing. I am loving every minute of it.

Included are a few pictures of my dear sweet indian. Alex had such fun at his class even though his picture does not show it and I had to post about it. Also there is a picture of his placemat he made, so cute, click on it to see what it says. I also included a few pictures of the turkey cake I made the other day. Monday I went and taught a cake decorating class to the kids at my churches school which I was asked to do. We had so much fun and they all loved it. So remember to sit and think and pray of the many blessings God has given you through out this year. Love you all and miss you even more.

Back up and running.

Hey guys well things are back up and running and I am so glad to be back. My computer was able to be fixed and Praise God all my pictures were not lost. Its funny how stupid you feel for letting something so small bother you instead of at the begining handing it to God to take care. Boy will I ever learn to hand it over from the start so it would save me alot of headaches. I am doing much better with it and I can only take one day at a time.

Well things have been amazing and busy these past few weeks and I am truely blessed. My father is stable and is home now but still his health is not good and the doctors still do not know what is causing some of the problems. The more I know the more I will let you know.

My younger brother and his wife just gave birth a week or so ago to their first baby girl. Welcome little Marissa Jayde, I so cant wait to see you. I unfortunately could not go see her right away becasue some things came up and I also want my sister in law to have some time to relax and adjust with a new baby. We plan to go up this weekend to see them AND to see some friends from Okinawa that just recently moved to Brastow also. I so cant wait to see them too and I have missed them.

Well I am so excited because this past weekend I left on thursday the 6th and returned on monday the 10th for the Tae Bo Certification Camp. That weekend was sooooo amazing and I learned so much. God blessed me with the honor to attend this camp and God gave me the strength to make it past that life changing weekend. God taught me so much while I was gone and I came back a new person. I wrote a thing on my experience at cert camp for the Billy blanks web club and if I could figure out how to add it I would. But if you want to read it on what I learned and how I grew I will gladly email it to you, unless someone can help with the link or adding the file from my computer.

Cert camp was mazing and I am so excited and on fire in so many was in my life. It was a tough weekend but sdo worth it. I dont want to spoil and talk about all that went on in case someone is reaing this and plans to attend thmselves because you need to go expecting nothing but open to learning so much. I will say that for those 3 days worth of workouts I burned 11,000 calories and I feel amazing.

Well other then that things are going great and I am just now waiting to see if I get certified. God is working on me daily and I am truely blessed by His grace and mercy every day. As soon as I know if I get it I will let you all know. Ryan is so excited because this will really help with our ministry. Our church is really getting involved in a martial arts ministry to reach the bus kids and their parents and so far it has been going well. Ryan can not wait fo rme to get certified because then God can really use our gifts in a mighty way. Yes martial arts and Tae Bo will be our ministry to reach the lost and we pray God will keep useing our talents in a powerful and mighty way. We are so excited and we will keep you all update the more we do and grow.

Well I promised pictures the last time so here goes with a ton of pictures, so sit back and enough, hhehehehehe.

Ok guys now here are the pictures of the cake I made for the cake decorating contest at our church that i won for best decorated. It is of the old rugged cross and has a crown of thorns with blood on it, the nails for his hands and feet with blodd on it, the red scarf and a marble looking piece that says It is finished. It is to look old and nasty and yes their is a cross pice for the cross even though in the picture it is hard to see. So many thought it looked like real wood.

So as you can see things are going pretty good and we so miss you all. I pray God keeps blessing you and watches over you. Know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
