Meet Lizzy

This past Sunday after church we went over to Steph's for tacos and my favorite, queso with the family. Little did I know what we would be taking home that day. Dad brought in four of the golden puppies that they have right now. There was a family that came over to pick out their puppy. Bryan and I saw that there was one light tan one left and the rest were darker. I said that little tan one is pretty cute.

So as the family arrived Steph prayed Lord give Meagan and Bryan a sign if they are supposed to have a puppy. That sign was going to be if that family didn't pick out the light one we would potentially be taking her home with us.

I kept watching them and peeping on them as they held all of the four different puppies. As most of you know I'm not a big animal lover so this was very strange to me. I told mom we'll just get one from the next litter and then she informed that there won't be a next litter. Bryan gave me his own little puppy dog face and asked sweetly if we could take one home.

After the family picked out their puppy I walked outside to see their selection....there the daughter was with a darker colored golden in her hand. Now this was actually becoming a possibility. My skilled salesman father brought the light puppy inside for everyone to goo goo and gaga over. Bryan held her and was hooked.

I finally caved and said we could take her home (I think that Christmas, being a giving time of year affected my decision). Emily said that we should name her Lizzy. That was perfect because I just dropped Elizabeth from my own name, so now we were gaining a Lizzy back into the family.

Here is our new little baby, Lizzy:

Donate water this Christmas....

Watermark Conspiracy 2009 from Watermark Community Church on Vimeo.

Watermark is teaming up with ALARM, a ministry in Africa, to drill more water wells in Burundi and Uganda. They have already drilled 8 wells and have 21 more underway.

Due to their previous work children have been able to attend school instead of fetching water, families are able to set up a home of their own by the water wells to live a better life, and Watermark is able to share the gospel and love of Christ.

I'm going to donate to this because it's a worthy cause and I think everyone deserves clean water. Plus it's a great way to love this Christmas and share all that the Lord has blessed us with! After all it's His money, not ours. You can donate too if you would like to HERE

This day last year.....

I was asked to walk down the beach with this cute boy named Bryan. That day Bryan did the sweetest thing , he proposed to me in front of this cute lifeguard stand! I was in such shock and couldn't believe it was real. It was too perfect, gorgeous weather, on the beach in Sarasota and the most amazing sunset ever!



...ok so this is the staged proposal, I was balling my eyes out in the original. The re-play has the crazy orange sunset behind it though!


Most of these pictures can be seen on our wedding website! I never shared it with the blog world because you never know what kind of crazy spam you could get.

My favorite page is the photo album page.

Thanks Bryan for one of the best days of my life, Tuesday November, 25th, 2008!
