This past weekend Jamie, Dad, and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the first half of the football game. We ate lots of greezzy food. After the first half we went back to Dad's house to watch the second half and have a chess rematch. This time Jamie played Dad, then I was to play the winner. Well the results were: Dad is a really big LOOSER, Jamie kicked his butt! Then Jamie was a really big LOOSER when I kicked his butt!
Mom is coming home this week so there wont be any more chess games for a while, so as it stands I am Champion of the chess board! :)
I started the women's ministry on Saturday and it went unbelievable. We are currently doing a discipleship program, which means we are paired up with one or two other women for a year. God paired me up with the perfect women! She's a new believer and has a lot of the same back round as me. I am very excited about this! I love ministering to other women.
Jamie's job is still pending on moving to Naples. We are thinking it will happen at the end of this month.

An average day for Mrs. Leigh
Today was an awesome day. I have had the past two days off and was ready to get back to work. I was blessed that I didn't have to be in till 9:30am. I slept in till 8! Got up and drank some "delish" coffee that my husband made me, and took a walk. I used to prayer walk all the time but since we got married I have fallen out of the habit. Well guess what, its time to start again. I walked around our condo complex and loved it. Its so refreshing to start your day out with a nice long walk with God.
Jamie and I have a competition going on with how much we both walk throughout our day. I took one of those pedometer things (those things that count how much you walk in a day.)to work today and I walk on an average, 1 mile an hour! That's a lot of walking.
Well that was my day. We go to small group tonight and that's always good.
Talk at you later....

Its been a long time
To be honest, it seems like the times I need to blog I don't feel like it.
There has been so much that has happened in the last couple of months. So, because my last format was so good, I think I will do another like it.
1. My job: It is still slow and I am only working 4 days but God has been so good at providing just enough for us. I really like serving and the people I work with are really nice.
2. money : Well! God just performed a miracle for us. Jamie has some debt that we have been working on. Well we just found out that a $6300 bill has already been paid off , we just have to update the credit reporters with it!!!!!! Thanks God! So our debt went down considerably!
3. Kids: From the last time we talked to now, my desire for kids has increase 100%! I want a baby so bad and I cannot figure out why. I don't like kids. Well, so I thought. Jamie is the smart one that says we need to wait and spend time together first. (which i agree with) But that doesn't take away the desire. WOMEN help me. What is wrong with me :)
So, I think that we will be having kids sooner than we thought.
4. My relationship with God : It has gotten a lot better. Jamie and I have backed out of a lot of things, which has made time for God and each other. I have never had the desire like I have now to read the stories in the old testament. Its really neat. I feel like I am reading a novel. Not to mention that God has encouraged and taught me so much through the stories.
5. Ministry: Jamie and I are no longer apart of Gifts From God. God has called us away. I had to come to a place in my life to realize that if God is really God, then He doesn't need me. For some reason I think that God needs me to help other people. Well, He doesn't. He used me and it was a privilege but I was loosing my relationship with Him. In order to get it back we needed to leave the ministry. Again this was hard for me cause I thought that if I left that I would be hurting all those women and they would walk away from God. NOT TRUE. They are still going to the bible study and doing really well. Pride is what that is.
So, I am praying and I am pretty sure I am going to join the women's ministry at my church. The demands are A LOT less and I will still be able to be in my passion.
6. My relationship with my husband: We are beginning to settle in a get a routine. Every morning I ask God, why me. Why am I so blessed to have a husband so amazing. He makes coffee every morning for me!, he does the dishes every day!, he is sooooo patient with me!, he encourages me!, he does so much for me!!!!! Just recently we went over our goals and personality test and it was so cool to see how God put us together. Its like a puzzle piece.
I LOVE YOU JAMIE, thank you for being so selfless.
7. My relationship with my dad : As it stands I am CHAMPION at chess. (My dad is the laoo-ze-errrr) We went out to Buffalo Wild Wings on Sunday (Jamie, dad, and I) and watch the Broncos beat the Bucs (Jamie is the laooo-ze-errr) and then went back to dads house and hung out for a little while.
8. Selby : I don't know if I have mentioned this before but she has mange. The doc said she got it from her parents. So she has had to do a 6 week Kimo Dip to get rid of the little bugs. Last night was her last one. YEAH. She gets really tiered and sick for about 4 days after the dip, which rips our hearts out every time we have to do it. So thank God that its all done. We actually went to the vet last Mon and they said all the bugs were gone. (Selby was singing; Aint no bugs on me, aint no bugs on me, there might be bugs on some of you mugs, but there aint no bugs on me!)
We still are thinking about moving to TN. We really want to buy a house but we some how have to save 10% of what the house cost, so if any of you have any extra money lying around.........
Talk at you all latter....
