Relay for Life Fundraiser

Hello, Sisters! I know how we all love t-shirts, so I thought I would share these with you all! My work (McComb OB-Gyn) is selling t-shirts to raise money for Relay for Life. Our theme is based on the Candyland board game... Candy for a Cure. I'm going to attempt to post a picture of them on here but if for some reason it doesn't work for me, I will have a picture at our monthly meeting. The shirts are $12 for adults and $10 for children (starting at 2-4). All orders will be greatly appreciated... Just let me know if you'd like to order. Thanks!

Toni's Pampered Chef Party

Toni's Pampered Chef party had to be postponed (she's had strep throat - keep her in your prayers). It will now be Tuesday, March 6th @ 6:30. She's hoping all of us can make it.

Pray for me

Pray for me today, y'all. I have to leave my baby for the very first time (overnight). Jax will be staying with his MoMo while Josh works and I will be on the Coast for a convention and awards ceremony. I know he will be just fine while I am gone, but its just the thought of leaving him...
I think this is definitely worse for me than it is for him or anyone else involved. And, I know it probably doesn't seem like a big deal to any one else but me... so, just pray that I can be a "big girl" about this and get through it all without having a breakdown. ha. Thanks!

OOPS

I forgot to turn the picture before posting!!

OOPS

Also I noticed on the old Valentines Post...The Elvis act was doen by the youth minister at Debra's church..not the preacher...OOPS

Laugh out loud....Amber

Sorry some of the pictures are a little blurry....

A big THANK YOU to Mr. Phillip for leading Children's Church every Sunday morning....look at all those kids...not many would face that kind of challange

Another big THANK YOU to Mrs. Annette for dedicating so many years to rocking the babies in the nursery!!

Check this out!

I'm attempting to figure out this new Blog stuff... hope this works!

While I have your attention, I've been wanting to tell you all about Barbie Bassett, WLBT-3's chief meteorolgist. Some of you may already know her (Jana, Amy) and you may already know this... she has a blog of her own. It is very interesting to read even if you are not really interested in the weather. I have viewed her blog a couple of times, and i find her posts to be very inspirational - I always feel better and more motivated to be a better Christian after reading her comments. She is a very spiritual lady and it is encouraging to see her use her "celebrity-ness" to witness. We can all do that... we can use our everyday actions and encounters as a witnessing tool. We talked about this very thing in our DT class a couple Sundays ago. Anyway, I wanted to share her site with you... when you have time, read through it. I just discovered her blog this week, but it seems that she posts often. http://www.barbiebassett.blogspot.com/
Enjoy!

There will be an opportunity to have pictures taken for a small donation fee and the babysitting will be provided by the youth with a few adults helping too..they will feed the children as well..it is for donation as well..you can give the donation $ that night. THe kids will have a great time playing..they are going to have a nursery room and toddler/child room...
Sunday is the last day to buy tickets..so get yours NOW!

Amber

FYI!

Hey Y'all!
Jana's having a GIRL!!!!!
Or, as Cooper would say, "It's a Mallory!"

(this is as close to pink that i could find!)
--neisha

The January Secret Sister Meeting will be at Jana's house on Wednesday, Jan. 24th at 6:30pm. Bring Finger Foods! The swap for that night is "jewelry".
If you bring a gift (January's theme is "Cross") for your secret sister to the meeting, just leave it in the basket on the breezeway and Jana will deliver it to her during the meeting.

Speaking of "meeting" - I don't like that word... it sounds too stiff and formal... we need to come up with another word instead of "meeting" ... we need something girly and dramatic! ha ha. What do y'all think???

Have a great day! See ya at Jana's on the 24th. Please make sure you all bring a different colored bag for your secret sister's gift - that way, I can easily tell who has who when the gifts are passed out. ha ha. just kidding.

--neisha

You're on the Internet!!

I was just checking out Nikki's website (photographer Nikki Spreen - from LA - ya know, Amber's friend!) and I recognized some of the faces in the Photo Gallery. When you get time, go to her blog, http://spreendoubletakesphotography.blogspot.com/
and check out some of the Calvary cuties on there! I really enjoyed seeing some of everyone else's pictures. Well, she doesn't have EVERYONE's posted, but I did enjoy the ones that are there. I'd love to have a picture swap --- you all know how much i LOVE pictures ... i'd love to have at least one of everybody. Wish i could figure out a way to print them off of her site... but i guess that would actually be illegal! (hint to my secret sister - it would be a really nice gift to get one of YOUR pictures for, say, Valentines Day or something! hint hint oh, and please date the back of the picture with your child's/children's ages so I will know when i look back at it in years to come! thanks!!! :) )
ok - just go to the site and check 'em out!
have a great weekend!!
