Long over due!!!!

Wow it's been a long time since we updated! Well this is Marie SO it won't be as well written as when Anthony does the writing! We have been doing good. Just working and working and working! Anthony has been doing quite a few web site projects. Which is his favorite thing to do. If you want to check out some of his work you can go to our church web site and take a look. www.munciepnc.org He's in the middle of replacing all kinds of little parts on our sound board! I don't know how he does it. I have been working on our church's Jr church Easter program. The Lord has been helping us and hopefully it will all turn out. Well I need to go get ready to go into work. Hopefully this is a little bit of and update for you. And Anthony you can do the next one!! :-)

The Rat Race

It seems that life just keeps moving on. We wake up, go to work, and come home to crash though the mess into our beds. Sometimes it seems we get so busy that we forget what life is all about. We run here and there. We get caught up in s thousand different activities, and we loose focus on what is most important.
In one week we will celebrate Thanksgiving. I want to take this time to remember all the ways my life has been blessed. God has given me a wonderful wife, a place to live, and a job. I never want to forget all that He has done for me. Even when the shower is full of dirt or the floor is covered with insulation I want to be thankful. God is good!

On The Road Again!

Well here we go again! In just a little bit we will be hitting the road for another eight hour trip. Well it will be an eight hour trip if marie drives the whole way. It feels like we just got home from Maryland and now we are headed out again. I am definitely glad that we decided to push the reception in PA of an extra week. I don't think I could have made it last weekend.
Anyway, I am just rambling on about mostly nothing so I suppose I should sign off for now. Just wanted to let everyone know we are headed towards PA and we will be at the reception tomorrow. I guess that's a good thing considering it is in our honour. Now if I can only find that pillow everything will be just fine!

Happy Ever After

How many stories have you read that all end with the familiar clause, "and they lived happily ever after!"? I am just making a wild guess here, but something tells me the person who first wrote that saying couldn't have been married! Now don't take me wrong here. I am not saying that married life has not been wonderful. It is! To anyone who believes that their life of single-hood is the best there is I definitely recommend married life. The idea of living happily ever after seems like a little stretch of reality.

Being married to the most wonderful woman in the world has made me realize that life can be so amazing and yet so stressful all at the same time. There is nothing like waking up next to the love of your life, on the mattress on the floor, with sounds of a hammer ringing in your ears, and the sun shining through the curtains that are supposed to give you some sort of privacy. Am I happy? Yes! Am I questioning what possessed me to ever consider such an arrangement? Do I wonder what state of mind I must have been in when I agreed to move into such an exciting environment? No, I know the answer. You see I'm in love!

It doesn't really matter what happens over the next few month, or even in the next 100 years. I have chosen to love the most wonderful woman I have ever met. Even when we disagree, even when she steals all the covers, even when I wake up to her alarm for the third time on the same morning, I still love her! And so we will live happily ever after!

It's Over!

All the stress and all the worries are all gone.  After months of planning the day we had looked forward to for so long has finally come and gone.  Who would have thought that everything would come together so perfectly at the last minute?  It's hard to believe that we made it through all the mishaps and frustrations to end the day MARRIED!

We want to say a great big thank you to all those who helped make our day so special.  Whether it was helping prepare all the beautiful decorations, straightening my tie for the 100th time, printing out the programs, laying down the green, or all of the above, we want each of you to know that we deeply appreciate all your hard work.  Without you our special day would have ended in a puff of smoke in front of the court house!
Well, the wedding is over, we survived the honeymoon, and now we have the rest of our lives to look forward to!  Life is exciting!  I can't wait to see what happens next!

One More Day!

T'was the day before the wedding and everything was swirling!  Our stomachs are inside out and our brains feel like mush.  Who would have thought that this day would come?  The last minute prep brings last minute stress.  Where does this go?  Who threw that away?  Seems like we'll be lucky just to make it through this day.  But if we survive tomorrow we will see the greatest day of our lives become reality!

Only 10 more days!

Only ten more days until the biggest day of our lives!  It seems like only yesterday we were txting on Christmas Day or skating on Penn View pond.  Now, there is only a million things to do before the wedding.  Who would have thought that life would fly by so quickly?

Today the excitement and stresses are all worked into one.  Slowly but surely things are taking shape, and our big day is getting closer with every jump of the second hand.  In ten more days we will be taking our last breaths as singles and learning to breathe again as a couple!
