Good morning! Well, i question of the day, "where do I begin" to tell a story that began over 5 months ago, as well our life has had many changes since that time.  So with a DEEP BREATH -- here goes. 

1)  We had a beautiful baby boy on November 23, 2005 weighing in at 8ilbs .96 ounces and 21 inches long....and for his name...HERE IT IS:  JAVAN MATTHEW JILES JOYNER~~~

2) My hubby got a new job working with the PGA in florida, so as of April 2006, we picked up and moved from Atlanta and now reside in Florida.  Thank the Lord so much for his grace and for providing in everyway!  There as been many moments of anxiousness and such, but the Lord is calming all my anxieties!

3) My younger bro is getting ready to move to California.  To pursue his career in Filming... WOW -- we can now go vacation out there in California.  I have never been there,  I think it would be a great place to visit!  FUNFUN!  HERE BRETT GOES -- Also, brett graduated from Wright State..

4) I just turned 27..oh my,oh my! Our little angel just turned 5 months, and boy is he growing up FAST!  He always keeps us on our toes, and more and more we fall in love with his daily.  He laughs, coos and just had his first day at daycare yesterday.. He seemed to enjoy and his daycare provider Ms.Bev is amazing!  A gift from God..

As for now, must be running..no more chatting for now. 

God Bless e

 Well, long time since I have had the opportunity to write.  I am not sure if it is because I am just not good at anything that must be done on a daily basis, or if I am lazy or crazy!  Who knows -- but, I know one thing, this past month has been filled with many adventurous moments of great ups and always those moments of uncertainity.  We have had many family visitors, which have brought pure joy into our hearts, and saddness when they had to leave, but their were GREAT, GREAT memories!  We were both just so thankful that they all ( nephews, brother and sister-in-laws, and my inlaws all come, and WE must not forget about Kassie ( their puppy she shared in the experience as well).  So it has been quite a month that began with damon and erin's wedding in July, and just moving right along into August, where soon Matthew & I will be traveling to Myrtle beach for vacation!  How exciting is that -- we are both just ready for a rest and relaxation week filled with absolutely no responsibilites.  How nice -- i am dreaming about the stars, the beach, and sand the beauty of God's beautiful creation...wow, I can see it now...

oh tay back to reality!  let's see what else has happened, we officially have a baby's room/office now.  At least the baby has more than just a corner.  We began registering, and the baby's crib is up and ready with bedding.  It is absolutely adorable.  We love it, and can only imagine a little one being there in a few months.  Last weekend, my in-laws bought us an awesome stroller/infant seat, and we are stocking up on all the clothes and such.  Looking forward to future baby showers -- how fun!  Our little one's name still remains a secret to all -- but what a surprise it will be when everyone finds out when our precious little one is born! 

let's see....today was cleaning day, after a long work week, where I picked up extra hours, but praise the lord it is day shift! So that makes us ALL happy!  i went shopping for my honey some clothes for vacation ( i know he doesn't need any...but i love shopping for my honey/baby) ..and i picked up a few maternity shirts that were $3 dollars at old navy. How can you pass that up!  I also got a bathing suit ( maternity) for $7 dollars.  How exciting..so that's all the shopping for now...trying to save money for vacation and other debts to be paid.  But what can I say is that LORD PROVIDES! Amen! 

We have another baby appt on Monday. YEAH! We get to here our little one's heart beat, and my belly is growing so cute.  It looks like a little b-ball! Wonder how much I have gained? Last i was 7 pounds up -- :) Also, on Monday matthew & I get to spend the day togethor , YEAH -0- i can not wait!  I miss our date nights, when we do not get one....

well, right now I thinking about my younger brother and hoping that all went well with his filming, I am sure he is glad that it is coming to a close, and now he can focus on the future and editing and such.  But what an experience for him....

well...must get back to cleaning before my honey gets home and dinner is ready!  until later...

 SURPRISE!  Yes, we were filled with surprised this past monday, when we were able to see our Little "Boy" for the 2nd time on ultrasound.  The feelings and expressions that filled Matthew and I's hearts and minds are undescribable as we sat there and the tech pointed out the beautiful parts of our little Boy.  It was just a heartfilled moment, as he sucked his thumb, and moved about.  Just watching him, made me even more look forward to the moment when we will get to met this little one face to face!  How exciting ...

So PRAISE the Lord everything looked great from the ultrasound.  Everything present, and our Little One looked more amazing then ever!  

Well, I must be running!  My relatives are here and my nephews are going to keep us busy! 

Talk to you soon! 

 On this Saturday early morning, Matthew & I are anxiously awaiting our trip to Ohio, where we will met up with family and friends tomorrow, which is a day before my oldest brother's BIG DAY.  Yes, it is his wedding! This has been an event that has been long in the making, and the Lord has brought him and erin togethor for a lifelong journey that will begin on the 4th when their vows are shared with 300 guests! What excitement fills our souls, as Matthew & I prepare to pack, and get social vest on, so that we can just enjoy the weekend with family! 

What else has gone on, well the Lord closed to the door to the Texas job.  It just did not work out, and Matthew was not offered the job.  As for where we stand on the issue, we know that the Lord knows best and we are going with His judgement.  It was a hard phone call to receive, but my honey knows that the Lord is still working in him and that something will just pop up in the future that will be where the lord wants him.  It was a great experience for Matthew, and he has learned so much even just in the past week!

Well, i just took my pills and my tummy is starting to ache a little. I must run and get me something to eat before i get sick..Sorry for the short note..MORE LATER

Life what an adventure..ENJOY it for what it is worth!

 Good morning from the city where the weather is warm, and the sun is shining and the swim pool is calling my name!  So what can I say besides what an adventurous past few days both Matthew & I have had.  Life has thrown us a few curves, and we are just awaiting to see where the Lord leds as we adventurous possibly in a new direction. 

So we begin this journey on Sunday, where I had to take my honey to the Atlanta airport, where he was faced with MANY other travelers and the fight for a delayed takeoff to Houston, Tx.  You might say what is in Houston.  To be honest, I am not sure, but I was certain of one thing that the Lord was leading matthew to go for this interview which took place on Monday AM at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Tx.  After the interview, I received a phone call at work from my hubby!  Sounded as though things were right on schedule, and he had performed through his 1 1/2 hour interview, and now was in search of looking for possible housing/apartments' if the Lord leds us that way .  From what I was told, looks as though housing is much MORE affordable out in Huntsville, but are we ready for such a responsiblily.  Only the Lord knows !  So after a long day and 1/2 in Texas, Matthew arrived home yesterday around noon, to find himself exhausted, but yet he still had to go teach many lessons at MVGC! So after wishing my honey I LOVE you's, he had a long evening as did I , for I was still at work.

Anxious as we both are to hear news on weather our lives will be changing in the near future, we await!  We pray!  We know that Lord will be watching out for our best interests, as we were we can be used for HIM in the best way! We are excited, we are scared, but most of all I am so thankful that I am behind Matthew in this journey, and either way in which it takes us, we will both go through it togethor -- forever! What a blessing! 

As for now, I am off today and tomorrow, and I am completely exhausted after 2 days of work, and I am trying to motivate myself to get ready to do some grocery shopping, go to the BIG babies'-r-us sell and than possibly stop by the see my honey at the golf course, before heading back home for my life insurance interview, where she must draw blood! Why can't i just do it, i am a nurse! hahah! just kidding --

Update on the baby - my belly is growing daily, and I can not wait to share in the moment where we will find out whether we will be having a little girl or a little boy! What excitement fills both of our hearts - Can't wait to some day in the near future, met our little angel and just thank the Lord above! It is amazing how you become so attached to someone you haven't even met yet, but feel this connection with!  It's an incredible bond, created by God!

What a life, what an adventure! What possiblities lay ahead! Phillipians 4:13, Jeremiah 28:11
