Sorry......

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Life has been busy!!!:) Lee and I are both back in the workforce-thankfully! I will be posting more in the next few days but just wanted to touch base. MORE TO COME-I PROMISE!!!!

Life.....

Well, I know I haven't posted in a while and it was one of my New Years resolutions to begin posting more often. Well, I felt the need to post. As many of you know, Lee got laid off from his job right before Thanksgiving. We felt like it was coming since his business had been slow. Well, we made it thru the holidays and they were WONDERFUL!!! Just enjoyed being with one another and with our family and friends. After the holidays, I returned to work at FloStor. The office was closed for the holidays since many of the people I work with travel to see family. Well, I ended up getting laid off from my job January 13th. I knew that it was coming since our business has also been slow but thought they would close the office down before they laid anyone off. I honestly thought my job was safe though since I was the receptionist. I loved the people that I worked with so much!!!! Even though they drove me crazy sometimes we were like family!!! They were really good to me and I hope to find a wonderful company like that to work for again someday!
Lee and I are sticking together because that is the only way we can get thru this. I am not mad at him for anything. The economy is just so bad right now and I know we are not the only ones who are struggling. Jamie, my precious little boy, keeps me going. His laughter and smile make me smile even though I don't know what the future holds. One thing I am sure of is that God is going to get us thru this. I don't care if we have to sell everything we own to keep our house-I would gladly do it. All I need is my family.
Some friends recently gave us a gift. I am not going to mention any names but they truly showed us God's love. Lee and I know that they are struggling themselves but we were touched by their generosity. We are so blessed to have them in our lives-they have been there for us numerous times.
Well, it feels really good to get some things off my chest so I think I am going to start posting more. Continue to pray for the 3 of us and remember other people who have lost their jobs or have been laid off. If you have a job, take it from me BE GLAD THAT YOU HAVE ONE!!!! I have a temp job right now in the Cool Springs area, this week will probably be my last week. Pray that something else opens up for me and that Lee and his dad will go back to work this week!!!:)

Until next time.......

My thoughts on the outcome of the election

Hello all! Well, it has been 4 days since our new President has been elected. After having those days to ponder and reflect on the future of this great country, I decided to post.

Number 1, I didn't vote for Obama. While I didn't really like McCain, I did like Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is a woman I have tremendous respect for. She has 5 children. Prior to the birth of her fifth child, she found out he was going to be born with Down's Syndrome. She, thankfully, decided to have the baby anyway. She has a lot to learn but I think she is the future of the Republican party.

I do not claim to be a Republican or Democrat. I vote for who I think will do the best job. Many of my views on the issues would be considered Republican though.

When deciding who would get my vote, it was not just about who I thought would do a good job. It was about who was the lesser of 2 evils. I don't trust either of them very much at all. After all, they are politicians. It all boiled down to who believes in the same things that I do and that was McCain. Obama does not stand for anything I believe in.

After saying all of that, I am extremely concerned about the future of our country under this new leadership. I think our forefathers would be rolling in the graves. I hope and pray that everything I have read and heard about him is not true. I am praying for Obama every day. That is my duty as a Christian. Also, God chose him to be our next President and I have to respect that.

While everyone is saying "this country needs to change," I agree with that 100%. I DO NOT feel like Obama is going to be able to solve all of our problems. There is only one man who can help this country and that is GOD! This country has abandoned everything is was founded on and until we make God the center of everything in this country things are only going to get worse.

Well, that's it! I could go on and on but the election is over. The only thing we can do now is PRAY!

Hey!

Well, after seeing everyone's cute blogs, I have decided to have one myself. I will have more pictures and posts to come. I will keep you updated about my wonderful, exciting, and blessed life.

Love,
Dana
