Hello friends,
I have decided that due to lack of time and craziness in our life, it is easier for me and sometime Joe to blog what is what going on in our lives instead of emailing you all. So I will start out by telling you a little about us, for those of you who do nopt know us that well. Joe and I have been married 8 1/2 years. Joe served in the Army for almost 8 years, but had to get out due to his disability (Just ask if you want to know his story). He would have made a career out the Army, but the Lord had different plans for him. I served as an Army wife 5 of those years and it was by far the most challenging thing I have ever accomplished. Joe is headed back to school in a couple weeks to get his degree in Computer Aided Drafting. It will take him two years to complete. I am so proud of him! I volunteer at Curtis' school as a lunch lady. I also am a stay at home mommy when I am not in the school kitchen. We have two very unique children. Curtis is 8 years old, and he looks just like his daddy. He is an amzing kid who has a heart for missions. He loves to raise money for the kids in Kenya with the help of Open Arms International. He is also involved in Ju Jitsu, which is a combination of submission wrestling, street fighting, and kick boxing. He is very good at fighting. He has three tounament fights coming up in winter/spring. He is a good student, and LOVES history and science. He tries to live his life for the Lord. I feel truely blessed to have this young man in my life. He melts my heart! Our other little person is our 3 year old Princess Shayla. She will tell you that she is going to marry prince charming one day. Right now her Daddy is her prince charming. She loves to dance and to try and do gymnastics. Her hero right now is Nastia Lukin and she thinks that when we go to London for the next Olympics that she is going to meet Nastia. So we will have to wait til 20012 to see if that happens. Shayla looks like me, but acts a lot like her aunt Katie. She can fill any room with laughter and joy. She makes friends very easily and is a people watcher. Both of our children have filled our heart with love and joy that I never that I could experience. So I am thankful to the Lord for allowing us to raise these kiddos!

Christina 13 yrs. ago God made us meet for a purpose and for that I am forever Greatful! Because U didn't give up on me and because of that I know have what I always hoped for A Christian Family and a Relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!!! It wasn't easy going into a marriage knowing my husband hadn't been Saved yet, it was truely hard but we got through it didn't we! Halleluah!! And now He's strong and our children have followed and we our truely a family in Christ! I didn't really know the Lord 13 yrs. ago like I thought I did! And U Christina opened up my eyes to HIM! Yes I was a tough cookie and I crumbled more than a few times but U never gave up on me! And it still looks like U know who to go to to be inspired, so your right I don't need to send U those things but I want U to know that U also hold a place in my heart! Sisters in Christ, Love Always, Kristen!
