"Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings' end!"

That "other" beginning is now an end and moved on to much greater...Marriage. The long anticipated day was gone before we knew what happened. 
It was a beautiful day. A great start to a wonderful life. I almost forget I'm only married a week. It seems so normal already!


the first look

family...siblings 

My dear nieces and nephews...yeah I miss them a lot. More than I thought I would.

Mom and Dad....it's not always been easy but you've been there when we needed you the most. Thanks for your support and prayers the last few months especially!

These ladies really do rock my world. They have made my Grenada days amazing. I love you Kevona,Melody, and Alana.

our flowers were a little delayed in coming... Thus some pictures the guys don't have their bouttonieres.

my little man...my godchild Kaden. He refused to smile...how I love him!

His lovely mother and sister Kayla


the people that mean the world to us! 
 There's been rough times planning this wedding. Things we would never want to go through again but these people have been understanding beyond words. You have no idea how your cooperation has helped us along. 


Alana: She's been a friend since I first moved to Grenada. She's a mother to two dear boys. Her life isn't where God wants it but he's still working. Pray for her!
Melody: I lived with her for 2 years on this Isle of Spice. She's been a sister and support through this relationship and my move back to the states. Mel you are amazing. Continue to allow God to work in your life and lead you!
Brenda: She's now an in-law. Long before my husband and I existed she spent a month on this island with her then boyfriend. We connected and have ever since. Thanks for your help these last 6 weeks...Glad your in this family with me!!!
Sister Krista: She's more than a sister..she's a friend. Many years ago when we lived together we told mom we are going to marry black boys...little did we know! I'm excited for May so I can meet that little child that was ferociously kicking. 
Kevona: She spent many nights by our house when I lived in LaBorie. A mother to two of the cutest kids, her life hasn't been easy. God has plans for her life even though the road ahead looks long. Keep her in your prayers as well.

I'm still smiling. Marriage is still wonderful and the honeymoons over. lol

Coutain family
It made me wish so badly his father was here as well. God's plans we don't understand.
During the ceremony his father's name was mentioned and it was the only time my emotions got weak. My prayer for my husband is that he can be what his father was to his family.


My husband told me just yesterday...he would do this day all over again.
I never thought I'd hear those words!

the sun was bright...close eyes...one.two.three OPEN

..the time is almost here...

I was trying to calm her pounding corsage :)

...and they gave me away to the most amazing man ever!

We Did It!

ha...love this...fatherly wisdom!


When I'm with you the only place I want to be is closer.

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
