Possibly Going Private:

So, I was just looking at my past blogs and going through e-mails and notied that I had one post from November of 2008 that had 26 commets left to it! I was like what the crap...there was nothing exciting on it and nothing fun and all the coments were just links to other pages and who know what else. I did not look at any of them and after trying to delete all th comments and not succeding, I just deleted that particular post.

I am on the bridge of going private, I got really irritated by this.

Anythoughts or if you would like to be on the "approved list" you can send an e-mail with your address to us at gandltidwell@gmail.com

Thanks!!

Beat to the Punch

It's 4:00 am and I don't know what woke me up, but I can't go back to sleep. I was just looking at the blog two days ago and noticed how nothing new had been written in a long time so I wanted to take this time to thank my wonderful, beautiful, amazing bride for putting up with me and all my stress from this semester. Then I see that she posted just yesterday! Lol.

Laura, I love you with everything good that I posses within me. When I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself almost falling off the bed cause you have snuggled up to myside, my heart melts and it keeps me up wondering how come you love someone like me so much. To everyone reading this blog, Laura is truly one of a kind. She is the "butter of my bread!" She is my joy!

Life's Journeys

Well, I have not blogged in a while and not a lot has gone on so here I am. It is a wonderful, beautiful, fall afternoon and we are just enjoying our time one with another. Garon and I have been staying pretty busy but with just the normal routine things. We are approaching the holiday season and we are figuring out what to do, how to do it, and at the same time we continue to find deeper meaning for everything.

We will be making a trip to IL for Thanksgiving which we are pretty excited about. My cousin lives up there and has no family around so it will be a great thing to be able to help her out a bit.

For Christmas we will be going down to Texas. We miss all of our great friends and family down south but I must say the weather is much better up here.

For New Years, we don't have anything too exciting as of right now, I am sure we will come up with something though.

It is crazy to think that the year 2009 is coming to a fast close. Where has time gone and what have we done. I have been thinking about the past year and the things I have accomplished, the things I should have accomplished, and the many great moments I have shared with those around us. In October we were able to make a trip to Utah and I absolutely loved it. We were going on not so great circumstances but it was such a humbling and self-fulfilling experience.

My life is truly blessed to have some really wonderful people in it. I know that when things get difficult and the way a little weary there is always somebody or something I can lean up on. This life is a grand adventure and I am so happy to be here, to wake up in the morning and to witness the growth of others. As Chicken Little says it, "Today is a new day".

I am so grateful for Garon and the companionship which he offers. I am "one of the lucky ones". I never imagined how great it would be to have somebody by my side who would hold me up through the darkest of darks and rejoice in the happiest moments. Thank you Garon. Over the past year and a half we have seen a lot, been through a lot, and have managed to help each other along as we wondered the path of our journey.

Everything seems to be pretty much same old same old.
