TIRED

We have decided to get serious and get our house in Drumright going. And of course we would do this right before we go on vacation. So the past two days I have been going down to the house and doing some clean up. I took Elisha with me to do some work and some of the boys from our church to help. Thanks Austin, Brandon and Mathew you did awesome. My poor Elisha, he has so much to learn when it comes to work. I believe we have spoiled him terribly bad. He does a good job most of the time but the poor kid can not handle the heat. We don't have AC at the house yet so we just have fans blowing to help keep us a little cooler. Everytime I turned around he was standing in front of the fan doing some kind of funny. This child makes me laugh and mad at the same time. I was paying him to work not play. So I have decided that we really need to work on him when it comes to working. I want him to have good work values. I want to convince him it is his job to support a family someday not his wifes job. He is only ten so hopefully by the time he is ready to move out and get married we will of taught him this. We have the kitchen, living room, dining room and three of the bedrooms cleaned out. The master room and bath will be last. It is tuesday night and we are so tired. But I just wanted to let you guys know we was up to.

Lazy Sunday

It is Sunday afternoon and I feel so lazy today. I woke up this morning and debated on going to church. My little two year old has been pushing me to my limits. I think he is teething again, so he is quit emotional at times. He wants something so I give it to him then he decided he doesn't want it. So it is a never ending emotional battle with him. Yesterday morning he wouldn't stop crying and screaming at me. Then a friend called and asked if I wanted to go to lunch. So I thought I would to get him out to see if it would help his mood. It did help get his mind off things a little. But it was a emotional day and I knew that he was starting this morning off in the same mood. I decided to go ahead and go to church this morning but he was quit emotional again. And I spent a good part of the time in the cry room with him crying. I would of took him for a ride in the van but I left my purse and shoes at the front of the church. And the church was very full so I wasn't going to go and get them. He was finally given some candy and that soothed him so I could go and sit back down. So after church we decided to go home and have a lazy day at home. This child of mine can wear me out and make me feel like a emotional basket case at times.

It is just a few more days before we get to go on our vacation. I am so excited to go and get away. I am glad that we will have some time as a family and hopefully we can relax a bit. Lee has been having a lot of back trouble lately so I hope that this will give his back some time to heal. Trina just 6 more days. YIPEEEE

Date Night

It was friday night and we decided to have a date night. I had so much fun, my husband actually took me to the mall to shop...yippiiiee That is one for the books. Well actually we have our trip coming up in just a week ( how the time has flown by) and Lee was in desperate need of some new clothes. I refuse to by him something unless he is there with me. Everytime I buy with out him there he doesn't like it. So off we went to the mall on a shopping spree. He got new clothes and of course I did to. Heheheeh...... why not. He then decided he wanted new shoes so I let him get 2 pairs and I got 3 pairs. I really enjoy spending time with my husband and what better way than shopping. We ate dinner in the mall instead of going to a restaurant. Saved a little there, right. After the shopping was over we decided to go to a movie. We have been wanting to see Chuck and Larry so thats what we saw. A funny movie but there was lots about the movie I didn't approve of. The language was horrible for starters and much much much more. So I really don't recomend this movie. I wish they could come out with some funny movies that were clean. But all in all I enjoyed my evening with my husband he is the man of my dreams. Thank you hunny for spoiling me and I love you so much.

WORKING ON ME

I am at a point in my life where I would like to improve myself. I want to be a good wife, mother, and servant to the Lord. It seems as though everytime I decide that this is what I want to do. The old devil works harder with me. I catch myself being testy with my kids and husband. I decided to take Trina's advice and read "Created to be his Help Meet". So far I really am enjoying this book. I love how she gives the scriptures to back up what she is saying. I love the story of the "One Ugly Hillbilly". She is so right that a smile on your face makes all the difference in how someone feels about you. You can be dog ugly, but if you wear a smile it makes you so much more attractive. I would like to be the woman who is always smiling, even when I am not happy. No body else should have to deal with my mood swings. So from know on if you see me with a frown please let me know. Please God help me to be a better Help Meet for my husband. I do not want to end up as one of those old crabby ladies who chased her husband away because I was selfish. I want to tend to my husbands needs because thats what I want to do and because thats what the Lord has given me to do.

I have seen so many of my failings lately. Lets just say that I seem to change all the time. I used to cook dinner every night. Then somewhere down the road life got busy and we seemed to eat out all the time. This is not a good thing it is heavy on the pocket book and you just seem to get lazy. I don't even want to know how much it costs us when I don't fix a meal at home. Hmmm we have a family of five and we were eating out about twice a day. Mmmm not a pretty picture. So I am trying to do more cooking at home. So far I have made dinner 4 times this week. Yaa Whooo.... for me. It is friday and we decided to get a babysitter and go out alone tonight. Well at least no kids. So I will fix the kids something at home and we will go out. But hey don't I need to celebrate a little.

Get Serious Cherrie

It is time to get serious about a few things in my life. I decided to start doing school early this year. Mostly because we are such a busy family. And I know there will be times that I lack in it. Well I started lacking, already. We are about 3 weeks behind and this is driving me nuts. So I told my kids that they are grounded from the t.v. till we get things caught up. It seems that the time just flies by so easily. Its not the kids fault that we are behind but mine because I haven't been consistent with them. Sometimes its just easier to let them do something else. That doesn't need my attention. My goal is to get things in my house flowing like I would like them. And I will start with the school. So here we go........Get in gear Cherrie your kids are depending on you to teach them.

Water Fun

Me and a few friends decided that we wanted to go to the water park today. This was a last of the minute thing that we decided on sunday night at 10:00. We got up and around by 10:00 in the morning to go. This water park is a hour away so we wanted to get there when it opened. We have a new sister who has moved here in the last few months. We was hoping that this would be a way to get to know her better. She is a single mom of four, and from what I can tell she is very sweet. I took some pictures of the park. So I will post them for everyone to see. Our trip got cut short but that was o.k. with me. Sis Ambers little girl got hurt she somehow hit her head and puntured it. Not a pretty sight. So her mom took her to the first aid to patch her up. We decided that it was time to go after that. But the kids did have a great time. And the little girl was awesome. She was a brave little girl. I will post a few pictures know.

We stayed at the part for about two hours but I think the older kids could of stayed all day. They had this thing called a lazy river we loved it. They gave you a tube and the water would push you in a circle. The kids loved this, they had two big water slides for the kids. And a obstacle course for the older kids to do. It was a very relaxing day and God had a lot of mercy on us. Ambers daughter was o.k. and it could of turned out so bad. Thank you God for watching over us all the time.

TIME IS COMING SOON

Fridays seem to be such a busy day for me. It is the day I spend all day in town running errands for my husband. Usually picking up checks and dropping checks off. I always have so much that I want to do and I always don't have the time to do it all. But I will eventually find the time, I always do. Well tomorrow is Saturday and I have lots planned again. Our house in Drumright is so embarrassing the yard needs mowed so bad. The problem is that the house is on the main road for the whole world to see. We don't live close enough to just get over there real quick or anything. And I haven't been ables to find anyone who wants to mow it. So hopefully I will get to mow tomorrow.

I was looking at the calender yesterday and I got so excited. We have a trip planned to Portland, OR. coming up in August. And I realized that it is just two weeks away. This is where me and Lee started our life together and where we buried our first born. So as you can tell it is a very special place for me. I will get to spend time with Dennis and Trina who mean the world to me. They gave me a place to stay when I first came to Oregon. They sang in my wedding and she was in my wedding, and her dad married us. So as you can tell they are very important to me. And I am looking forward to spending some time together. I was remembering a post that Trina wrote awhile back about how to be a good guest. So I think I will read it again so that I do things right. lol...hehehe....

I am wanting to go to the coast were me and Lee went for our honeymoon. I am looking forward to having so many wonderful memories flooding my mind. It is weird how living in a place for such a short time still feels like home to me. I am hoping that God will bless us on this trip. We would like to get to visit with several different ones who have made a difference in our lives in some way or another. We booked our trip about a month ago and the time has gone by so fast. So ready or not Trina here we come.

BLESSINGS

It is late thursday evening and I am listening to my music and thinking about how good God is to us. As I was reading Michelle S. blog today and she was talking about all the blessings God has done for her. I thought that maybe I should tell you guys about a few of my blessings.
As most of you know, the story about how me and Lee met. I believe this is one of those things that God did. I was living in Arkansas and one day I decided that I wanted a change. And at that time in my life I wasn't the best person. I had made a lot of wrong choices in life. But for some reason I felt like it was time to do something different and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I guess you could say I was a little lost. So I decided to go to Oklahoma with my mom and her husband. When I got to Oklahoma I met a young sister who asked me if I wanted to go on a trip with her. Since I really had no plans I thought that it might be a nice idea. So not to long later we took a trip to Oregon. When we arrived I felt like this place was home. And I must say I hadn't felt that in such a long time. It was there that I met Lee. We pretty much new instantly that we would get married. We just seemed to fit so perfectly. You could say that he completed me. In two weeks we were engaged and three months later we were married. This was such a blessing for me. God provided a companion for me. I dated lots of guys and God would always let me know they were not the one, he had the one for me waiting on me to be ready. I am so sorry that I was so stubborn and I had to go through so much before I got this blessing because of my stubborness.
After me and Lee got married I got pregnant right away. I was so happy, my life was perfect. I married the man of my dreams and know I was going to have a baby. I remember at the beginning of my pregnancy I felt as though something wasn't quit right with the baby. I believe God told me this so I would be prepared. I was so sick with this pregnancy. I pucked so much that I would start pucking up my stomach lining. When I got to the end of the pregnancy I remember telling Lee's mom that the baby wasn't moving as much. I figured this was because I was at the end and there wasn't enough room. I must say that the delivery was quit intense. And I ended up having a still born little boy. The blessing in this story is that God prepared me in many ways ahead of time. I remember feeling so good after he was born. I believe God gave me strength beyond measure. He made me a stronger person because of this trial. I was very sad, but I think it would of been harder if God hadn't given me those signs ahead of time.
I believe with all of my heart that the trials we go through are for a reason. And at times we might not understand them but eventually we will. This is just some of the most important things that me and Lee went through at the beginning of our marriage. And I believe that God did it so we would learn to lean him. God had way more faith in me than I had in myself. He let me go through something that I would of never thought that I could have. I thank you God for always being there for me and taking care of me and my family.
Then ten months later I gave birth to a healthy little boy. God decided to take my first born but he gave me another son. And I am so thankful for that. Elisha has been such a treasue to me. God has been with me so many times and has given me so many things to be thankful for. We named our first boy Elijah and I will always remember him. He made me a stronger person.

HOUSE IN DRUMRIGHT 1

I have decided to go ahead and show you guys our house in Drumright. I am so excited to get this house done and sold. So I ask that everyone do some praying that this will get done and sold. I took some pictures of the outside and inside. So when you see these just remember it is a work in progress.

This is the outside of the house. I think it is beautiful, and I hope when we are done we can sell it to someone who will feel the same way.

Not sure is I told any of you about our basement flooding. The problem is fixed now thanks to my mom. When we redid some of the sewer problems the dirt got piled up and it was leading the water towards our basement. Not a good thing at all. My mom the wonderful mother that she is got a shovel and moved the dirt to redirect it. So everything that was in our basement pretty much got ruined. So I took some pictures for you all to see what a lovely mess I have to clean up. By the way the water got about 2 to 3 feet high so things were floating around. I had my scrap book bag with all my loose pictures in it down there. And they are all ruined. I was quite upset at first. But that is just life.

Wow that was work!!!!

I had told you that we was having a van cleaning party today. And I must say that we sure did. I was so tired by the time we got done. Three of my good friends came over to join in on the fun. We started about 8:30 this morning and didn't get all done until around 3:00. We did take a small lunch break though. I could not believe how dirty my van was, I was so embarassed by the grim that I found. I was glad though that I have good enough friends that have the same problems as me. We did a awesome job working as a team to get this chore done. The kids had a blast playing with all there friends. Me, Michelle B., and Silvia worked on our vans and Michelle S. was sweet enough to help us with the kids (Thank YOU). She made lunch for the kids, for some reason when I get started on a project I have a hard time stopping. So the kids should be thankful that someone was there to tend to there needs. I was on a mission that I wanted done. We took some pictures while we were cleaning the vans so I will post them.

How does this happen to our vans? Could it be our children? Surely they wouldn't spill things, would they. After all the work that we did I forgot to take a picture of what our vehicles looked like. Believe me they were a 100% better. Michelle S. took alot of the pictures for me. Thats why I don't have a picture of her on here. So sorry Michelle S. but thank you for coming and spending the day with us.

Thanks Lindsay

As you all can see, my blog got a new dew. And I am very happy with it. I will need some help trying to do a few things but I am sure I can find someone who will help (right Trina). Well for know I would like to thank Lindsay for doing such a wonderful job for me. There is no way I would of got this done with out her. I have definetly become a religious blogger. I have been thinking about the mobile blogging also. I am going to do a little more research but I think it would be awesome to take a picture with my phone, type a few words and send it to my blog. I am quite intrigued by it all. So if anyone has any information on it let me know. I am very interested.

CLEAN THAT VAN

I have decided it is time to get my van cleaned out. I have let it go for way to long. So tomorrow morning I am having a van cleaning party and everyone is invited to bring theres on over and we can get it done together. I bought a new shampoo machine about 2 months ago and have not used it once. So tomorrow we are breaking it out. I plan on turning on the sprinklers for the kids to play. So they will stay out of our way hopefully. I invited a few friends to bring there vans over, so hopefully we will achieve our goal. To have a clean vehicle for at least a week. I will take some pictures of us tomorrow, (if I don't forget) to post on here.

HAPPY

I am so excited this morning. I have been in the process of getting my blog a makeover. And I got a email today and saw the results, and I think it is so perfect for me. So don't be surprised if this boring old page all the sudden looks very snazzy. So be on the gard for the new me!!!!!! By the way did I tell you how happy this has made me.

God Knows All

It was another late night up visiting with friends. So Elisha and Samuel didn't make the long haul of the night. So I had to take a picture of them fast asleep in the recliner. I must say that they are awful cute. God has been real good to us lately and I thought I should voice this real quick. I was getting a little blue lately and feeling sorry for myself. Then God has been giving us some company this past week and it has been so good for me. We had some friends come in from California on thursday night to spend the night. We were invited to dinner on Saturday night by some other friends. And my dear friend Amy (my twin) and her family came over to visit on Sunday. We also had Robert and Crystal come and visit. So the house was full and I loved every minute of it. I think God knows when you are blue and knows how to fill that void. So thank you God for taking care of me.

Where does the time go.....

Wow what a day. I feel as though we got so much accomplished today. The day went so fast and I don't know were it went. Well for starters I got up and did a load of laundry and unloaded the dish washer. I decided to let Lee sleep in for awhile. So at about 9:44 I thought that it was time for him to get up. I can't let him sleep the day away when we have so much to do (right). We got around and went to town to pick up a few things we would need at the house in Drumright that we are redoing. And yes I took plenty of pictures and I will post eventually, but for know I will wait till we have the after pictures also. We meet a friend down at the house to show him what we would like to have done. And I am so excited to get all this done. I think that when it is done I might want to move back in.... hehehehe......As if Lee would ever allow that. But the house is going to look so awesome. I hope someone will come and buy it, who will love it to peices. So here is the download. We already put a new roof on and redid the old water lines. The house had new siding and windows already. And know we are redoing both bathrooms and the kitchen. Then fix the wood floors and recarpet two rooms. Then paint the entire house and put a marble and granite on the fire place. Did I mention the kitchen is getting additional cabinets and granite on the counter tops. It is going to look so nice. I can't wait to get all of this done.

We then came home because we had dinner plans with some friends. We had such a nice time eating a wonderful meal and playing a game of hand and foot. We so enjoy spending time with Robert and Crystal. They are those kind of friends were you can talk about the faith with and yet still have a good old time. I love our spirtual conversations. And I love laughing with them when we just want to be silly. Thank you Crystal for being a good friend who always makes me smile. Well it is getting late and I am real tired. And tomorrow is dinner day and I have nothing prepared. So we will see what happens with that. Good night and I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.

work and more work

A couple of posts ago I showed a picture of my honey cleaning out some of the woods. Well let me tell you something. You should always wear long sleeve shirts and something to cover your face a little. He was such a brave man for cleaning this for me. Well to make a long story short he know hows some poison Ivy. He is doing real good at trying to get rid of it. This stuff can be very bad if you don't get a handle on it quick. He has had it a lot so he knows how to take care of it. But it still is very annoying. And itches very bad. So if you don't mind say a little prayer that it will dry up soon. We have a lot more to clear out and try to kill off. And we are also in the process of trying to fix up our house in Drumright so we can put it up for sell. I plan on taking some pictures of the house so I can post them. We are going tomorrow to do some work and hopefully hire someone to help get it done sooner.

We went and took the kids to see Harry Potter today and it was real good. But we are very big fans. My ten year old son has read all the books and can't wait till the book comes out next week. He will have to fight his dad over who will get to read it first. I am very proud of myself. I have been a homeschool mom for a little while. And when Elisha decided to read the Harry Potter books. I was very impressed, I taught him how to read. Sometimes it just amazes me that I did this. And my 8 year old daughter is starting to take off and enjoy reading also. She has been ables to read for awhile. But she has just decided that its not just a chore. She is actually starting to like it. Whooo hooo. FINALLY.......

Well I hope everyone has a good weekend. And if I remember my camera tomorrow I will take some pictures of the house and show you all.

My Elisha

My Elisha, he is the best little boy. He does so many things for me. I would like to jot down a few things about him so I don't forget them. He is only ten and he is so mature in his thinking at times. He is interested in the bible, always asking questions and wanting his dad to show him where it is in the bible. He helps take care of his little brother. He loves it when Samuel gives him hugs and kisses. Elisha is a very emotional child with a big heart. And I am the proudest mom of this guy. He makes my heart melt. Elisha thinks he is so funny and you can tell that he takes after his father and grandfather. I pray that I can raise him to be a good man who will provide and be ables to take care of a family someday. And so far I think we have done a good job on this little guy. Elisha I love you so much and you are such a great help to me.

Moody Me

Have you ever had one of those days when you just feel sad? Well today is my day. I have noticed that I have been very moody lately. I get upset with Lee for no reason and I don't know how to tell him how and why I am feeling like this. This feeling is the worst for me. I am not one who likes to feel sorry for myself or anyone else to feel sorry for me. I usually don't tell anyone but for some reason, today I feel like typing it down. I guess I am hoping that it will make me feel better if I do this. So know you all know it, I get in my own moods sometimes. I haven't been good about going with Lee to church as much as I should. Not that I didn't go at all, I did. But not every time. With the Parkland meetings last week he went to all of them and I just went to one. Then on Wednesday he went with out me again. I have had a few things that I have been wanting to do lately and we have done none of them. I guess I am a little spoiled. So I get upset and don't go with him to things sometimes. I think it hurts me more than him though. I am not really looking for anybody to understand me or anything. Just someone to listen to me. So I will stop pitting myself and go on to the good.

We have been wanting to work on our yard a little so we went and bought this awesome weed eater that you can push. It is awesome, it will clear a path real good. I was so glad and I can't wait till we get it all done. I took some pictures so I will try to put them on the bottom of my post. We would love to have our yard looking like a little park someday. Have a wonderful day and thanks for listening to me.

New Dew

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I went down to my wonderful cousin Vicki's beauty shop today to get a new dew. And by the way I love it. I so enjoy feeling like I am getting pampered. I am so excited for her to get her new shop done so I can go and get facials, manicures, and pedicures. She is very good at what she does and I love being her cousin and getting that family discount. Getting your hair done know a days can be heavy on your pockets if your not careful. Unless your like me and have a family member who loves you dearly. So thank you Vicki for being so good to me. And I so love my new hair.

Nose in corner time

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Lee has decided that Samuel is old enough to stick his nose in the corner. I must say he is so cute when he gets mad. And he does not like me to take his picture when he is in trouble. But I could not resist. He is only two years old and I think that this nose in the corner has worked pretty good. When he is being naughty we ask him if he wants his nose in the corner. Of course he tells me ( No corner ). I would rather stick his nose in the corner than to spank him. Not that he doesn't still get a whap on the diaper from time to time. But this does help alot.

My Little Girl

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

At times I look at this little girls face and just think about how beautiful she is to me. And I so want her to be just as beautiful on the inside. I want to raise her in a way that would be pleasing to the Lord. Show her how to be a good wife some day. I worry that if I do this wrong she will be a mess. I must say right know I am a little worried. She has so much attitude that it drives me crazy. Did I mention she just turned eight. She is giving me the additude of a teenager. And if it gets worse at thirteen I am afraid for the poor child and everyone else she is around. Now don't get me wrong she is not a bad child by any means. She is very stubborn, she always has to have the last say. And those eyes can roll back into her head with the best of them. If she doesn't get her way she almost starts hiper ventilating at times. By the way this does not settle well with this momma. I want her to learn to compromise with others. Not to get upset if things don't go the way she wanted. I want to teach her to be kind and friendly to everyone. And not to leave others out. She has so much possibility if I can do my job right. For know I am working hard on the additude. And praying that I can get it under control. She has been grounded quite a bit lately. Oh ya did I mention that we are also working on the lying thing. For some reason that really pushes my buttons. And she does it so well. It scares me at how easily this comes to her. I am afraid she might be grounded for a long time. But on the other hand she can be the sweetest little girl also. She is so loving and she loves her brothers so much. She is so good about helping me clean the house. Playing with Samuel so I can get things done. Not sure why I felt like posting this today. Maybe so someday when she grows up to be this beautiful young lady that shines from the inside and outside I can remember that it took lots of prayers and hard work.

My little girl has always melted my heart. And I want her to be the best person she can be.

SCOOBY

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

This is our little scooby. He is the cutiest little dog I know. I let the kids take the camera around the house and shoot some pictures. When I saw this picture I knew that I had to post it and show off our little baby. He is a real good dog, my kids just love him to death. As well as me and Lee, but I must say that there are times when it is very tiresome of having a animal. Because of his size, he is a house dog. So when you plan to go somewhere, you always have to remember him and that will put a damper on things at times. I am lucky that my mom also loves my little scooby and she is willing to help us out at times.

I must tell you that before we got scooby, Elisha had the worst allergies his eyes would swell up and just burn real bad. After this little dog came into our life his allergies got so much better. We found out later that little dogs are good for kids with allergies. They help reduce the allergies some how.

I am sure your bored hearing about our dog so I will go.

FRUSTRATION

I have been so frustrated with my internet provider lately. You can not get a hold of anyone when you need them. And at any time I could be kicked off the internet. I must say that they make me pay a pretty penny for the worst service I have ever had. I would like to get out of my contract but not sure if I will ever get to talk to someone about it. So if for some reason you don't see me on here for awhile it might be that I got my way. My internet is satilite and I thought it would be better but oh was I wrong. You have to pay $300 just to get it hooked up and then they charge between $50 and $80 a month. Can you believe that it sounds outrageous to me. You would think that my service would be extemly fast. NOT it is as slow as a turtle. So what do I do? I thought about calling one of the news station and complain. So if you see me on the news then you know I couldn't get my way....hehhehe....HELP News 5........So if you want to know who this provider is well it is Wild Blue. What a joke!!!!!!

Build a Bear

This is Stormie's new build a bear. Or actually it is a pink kitty. We had a lot of fun going to the mall and making this little animal. O.k. let me explain how they do things in this store. First when you walk in you get to choose from a wall of animals. They have so many to choose from. Once you decide on the animal that you want. You can decide if you want a voice box to go in you animal. Well of course Stormie wanted one and she choose the one that gave lots of compliants. Then you move on to the stuffing machine. And I must say that is pretty cool, the lady asks if you want your animal fluffy or fat. Stormie wanted it fluffy you also get to choose where you want the voice box, in the hand, foot, or tummy. She then has you pick out a heart, she then tells the kids to jump up and down to get the heart beating. She has them rub it on there head and spin around three times for knowledge, rub it on there nose so it always knows where you are, and then give it a kiss so it loves you. You then put the heart in the little animal and the lady sews it up for you. When this part is done you take your animal and give it a bath. This is were they have some air blowing all the extra fur off of your animal. Then the fun begins, the shopping for your animal. And I must say they have quite the selection to choose from. Stormie picked out several new outfits for her new kitty and some for her poodle that she got a few years ago. And she also gets to get birth certificates for these animals. So we have Sally the poodle and Angel the kitty.


On Saturday we went to a wedding up in Olkahoma City. And I must say that the bride and groom were beautiful. The wedding was so elegant. I wanted to post just a quick picture of them because I think they are the sweetest people. Well at least she is I don't know him very well but I have heard only good. And I trust Amber's decision that she married the man of her dreams. We love you Amber and wish you guys the best of luck.
