Thanksgiving

As we do most years, our family will be in Jackson Alabama for Thanksgiving. We will be eating too much, hunting some, watching A LOT of football, and playing Wii. I love Donna's family as much as I do my own!!
I have a lot to be thankful for everyday!! I wasn't promised this day, but God gave it to me anyway!! I will be an uncle in 2009!! My sister Janet and her husband Henry are expecting a nephew for me. Well I'm not sure they are doing that just for me, but I'm going to give thanks anyway, and pray for a healthy baby and a safe delivery!! Donna's nephew John Higginbotham will be graduating from Auburn (that agriculture school in Alabama) Dec 19th and will be getting married in March 09!! I will be praying for a happy and long marriage for he and Sarah.
God has blessed me so much that I do not have room in this blog to mention everything, but here are the high points:
I am blessed with a wife that is my joy everyday!! On Dec 4th we will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary!! She is still my best friend, love of my life, and the most gorgeous, HOT, amazing woman I have ever known!! Our children just had birthdays and are 12 and 8. Most of the time they get along and are joys to be around. Bailey is having a GREAT 6th grade year, and I can't describe how proud I am of her!! Griffin is the most observant person I have ever known at that young of an age. He is doing great in school as well!!
I am so thankful for my church family!! I am thankful of their heart for worshipping God. I am also thankful, more than I can express, to be able to sing with as talented a group of worshipers as our praise team. I have never known a collective group that loves praising God more than this group, and it is my pure joy to be a part of that!!
More than all of these things, I am thankful that God decided that I was worth loving so much that he made a way for me to be with him for eternity!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend all!!

Donna is off the hook!!

As many of my family and friends know, I LOVE babies!! I have been begging Donna to have another baby for years!! I am sooo mad that God's plan is to have them grow up! I know his plan is better than mine, because I would keep them infants if I had my way!! I miss the baby times we had. I do get to hold a lot of newborns at church and it gets me by (almost like a drug addiction!! LOL).
However; last Friday night my wonderful, now 12 year old daughter, had a sleep over birthday party for 6 of her girl friends!! ugh!! All the girls were barely here for an hour when I leaned over to the love of my life and said, "baby you are of the hook!! I don't want anymore children!!" That made Donna laugh. Of course she wasn't worried, she has known we were through having children for YEARS! LOL
Of course, the more they do grow up, the more you fall in love with their personalities and the kids they have become. God is good.

A little about me....



I am a blogger!! WooHoo. I might make it into this century eventually!!
I am born and raised in Cartersville, GA.
My interests include, but are not limited to:
God, Family, Politics, Baseball, Singing, Poker, Love and Life. At some point I will probably write about all of these!!
I am married to Donna Guyton in 1993. She is still the love of my life and I am more in love with her than the day I married her. We have 2 children, Bailey and Griffin. I could not be more blessed!!
We attend Cartersville First Baptist, and we absolutely LOVE our church family!!
