Wordful Wednesday

Many of you have asked about the story of how Carey and I met. These questions came even after I posted about it, many because you had heard of our amazing story and wanted to know more. So here is my Wordful Wednesday. Click on the pic of Carey and I on the right under the American Flag and you can read our story. Or just click here. Hopefully it will touch you as it has touched others. In the event you have already read it, my apologies for the redundancy.

In other news, the new blog is almost ready for install and should go up any minute now, and the giveaway that will be done with it is AWESOME!!! I'm so excited and you will be too.

Also, there have been a few of you who have wanted me to elaborate on my story of what happened when I died for almost 7 minutes. That is coming soon also and should be very touching.



So get on over to Angies at Seven Clown Circus and check out the other Wordful Wednesdays!

Not Me Monday!

It's that time again! You guessed it, MckMama's Not Me Monday! If you would like to play along, as you should, head over to her blog and do so now!

And here we go!

Saturday while playing golf with my Dad I did NOT make an eagle on a 520 yard hole. For those of you ladies out there that don't understand golf let me explain. Its when your goal is to get the ball in the hole within 5 shots and instead you do it in 3. I hope that clarifies it some. I might add that makes it sound so insignificant, however it is a really BIG DEAL. Especially for someone like me who doesn't play all that often and have only done it one other time and that was in high school when I was on the golf team. So yay me!

The only other thing on my short Not Me list today was this:

Today at the doctors office, Taylor has a viral infection, Will was getting tired of sitting around and started pushing this chair across the hard floor which was making an unbearable noise. He does it a few times as I am telling him to stop, it was NOT ME that says do it again and your going to get a spanking (in a very stern voice) only to watch him look me in the eyes and do it again because he knows good and well I haven't the heart to follow thru with my meaningless threat. NO that for sure was NOT ME!

Now get on over to MckMama's and join in the Not Me fun! This week if you join in you are entered into a contest!

A VERY Sad Day

Tears fill my eyes as I write this post:

Today baby Cora lost her fight with cancer and went to be with Jesus. Please continue to pray for this dear family who just lost their only child. Feel free to go by their blog and leave your condolences.

This is one of those times where we as a blogger community can come together in prayer for this family and ask that God grant them peace and comfort as they deal with this loss. Please pray for them.

Get Cha Some of This!

The following is a post that a really good friend of mine put up on her blog right after winning the I heart faces competition this week.

We won!
I say "we" won because, yes I did take the picture so I am the photographer who won with my shot, but goodness gracious, my little one's eyes helped me out quite a bit on this one! It certainly helps the photographer a ton when they have a beautiful subject. And I'm not biased at all. : )

Oh and good prediction over at Fort Thompson. He predicted over a week ago that I would win the "Eyes" week with a picture of Reagan.


The reason it is so significant to my blog (as well as the reason I am sharing it) is because a few weeks ago I predicted when I saw that this past weeks theme would be "the eyes have it" that she would win with a shot of her daughter Reagan.

So guess what? She won with a picture of her daughter Reagan! I am SOOOOOO happy for her and wanted to brag for her a little bit because she deserves it.

Lindsay is a professional photographer who I met when coaching her daughter Mackenzie a while back. Her blog is The Miller Experience so go by and Congratulate her by leaving a comment and tell her Tim sent ya from Fort Thompson! Come on show her some love she's my bud! I'm gonna see who does and doesn't. :)

Her company's name is Bella Bleu and you can check out some of her work there if you like. She does a great job! She has photographed my daughter Taylor, and my most prized gift from coaching was a picture she took of me and my assistant coach while on the field that was put in a shadow box with a very nice thank you message.

So make sure to stop by her blog, tell her I sent you, and show her some love for winning. Trust me, you DON'T want to miss a view of this little girl. If you think she is the most beautiful thing, its because she is. Pictures don't do her justice though until you have seen those eyes in person. They literally melt my heart.

Watch For It!

The new look at Fort Thompson is almost ready! It shouldn't be too much longer now. For those of you who don't know, I won a contest at The Drama Mama (Hollies Site) and she has been hard at it working on a new look for this ole blog. She has been such a pleasure to work with even though I know I'm not the easiest person in the world to please. She has told me over and over that she wont put it up until I am TOTALLY happy with it. Now that's professionalism folks! If you are interested in getting a bloggy makeover go visit her design site Drama Mama Designs! Make sure and tell her Tim sent you from Fort Thompson.

So keep an eye peeled because you never know just when your gonna click over here and see the new design. To christen in the new bloggy look we will be having our first giveaway once the new site is up, so stay tuned for that because it wont be up long, however it promises to be worth your while. I will officially announce the contest once the new site is up, so watch for it!
