Day 5 is I am thankful for good dr's. So I had my blood drawn 3 times in 1 week. In my hand none the less. It was painful and left a bruise on each hand. And they were sore for a few days. but when I look at my hands i dont really think about how big of a bruise that was left but rather wow i sure am blessed to get to have blood work drawn and the tests ran for free to find out what is wrong with me. I have a dr that really cares about me. We go to Interfaith Clinic because we have so little money. But they care as if Im paying them $200 a visit rather than $0 a visit. So it is nice that God has allowed Interfaith to be here for those like me who have very little to no money and take care of their needs. Also my meds i was given was given to me for free! So for Day 5 I am thankful for good dr's.
Day 6 is I am thankful for good quality family time. I love Sundays. This post was supposed to be for Saturday night but that is ok. I love to get together every Sunday night after a usually chaotic Sunday morning and spend time with my hubby, kiddos, and my in-laws. We usually cook every other dinner and the same goes with my in-laws although i think here lately my in-laws have been taking most of the bill as we have been going crazy with health and running around like crazy and also trying once again what to cook and what not to cook. LOL If people only knew...one cant have milk or any form of milk, one cant have seeds, alot of fried foods and things that will cause his flare ups for diveriticulitis (which we are still learning about) and 1 cant have red meat. Wow...it kind of narrows things down a lot. but we adapt to the changes. As we do it together as a family. We have a lot of fun. I look back and remember when we didnt do this sunday night get together. We have been getting together for a few months now and it is great! I love it they are memories in the making! So for Day 6 I am thankful for good family time. I am glad that I have a good relationship with my in-laws. It's not one of those dreading...oh its the in-laws kind of thing. I look forward to spending time with them. :)

Gratitude Challenge Days 3 & 4
Day 3 is I am thankful for a house to live in. Oh I may complain about having to clean it or it's cold or it's hot but at least I have a roof over my head and something that i can call my own. A place that I can come home to and be with my family and come home to and relax. God has blessed me with a house to buy and not many can say that. So for day 3 I am thankful for a house to live in.
Day 4 is I am thankful for laundry. Oh i just love to do laundry NOT lol but I am thankful that I have my own washer and dryer and that I dont have to go to the laundry mat. I am thankful that i have laundry to wash. h boy wouldn't that be a sight to see :0 that scares me LOL. I am thankful that my kids and my hubby's clothing needs are met. No we may not have fancy clothes or even a lot of clothes but am thankful for the clothes that we do have. Again not everybody can say they are taken care of with laundry. So for day 4 I am thankful for laundry.

Gratitude Challenge For Days 1 & 2 & UPDATE
This month, I’m participating in a Gratitude Challenge hosted by Brenda at Garden of Learning. The challenge is to write a post each day in November about something that I am thankful for. That’s 30 days of gratitude posts!Because I missed yesterdays post on the Gratitude Challenge I am doing todays and yesterdays. And the challenge is to post something everyday this month that we are thankful for. Shouldnt be so hard as we should be thankful for everything as the Bible says so here it goes...
Day 1-I am thankful for God's Amazing Grace. I have always loved this song. when i was little because of the tune...as i grew older the words. I am thankful for my salvation and for God's love. and with those came God's grace. and He says that His grace is sufficient and He never lies. His grace is sufficient for me and for you too. Do you know Him as your personal Lord and Saviour? If you do not please feel free to contact me at jonlovesjenny@yahoo.com. And I will gladly share Him with you.
I don't know how that I would survive witout Him. He is there through my ups and my downs. And I have a lot of those and I admit that I ride the emotional roller coaster but if I look right next to me God is there right beside me helping me and riding it with me because He NEVER leaves me. And even when i ditch Him He is still waiting there for me. So as for day 1 I am thankful for God's Amazing Grace.
Day 2- I am thankful for my family. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family and He has also blessed me with 2 hands when i just wanna up and slap them sometimes too LOL i'm just kidding on the last part...well kinda...lol...
My family has helped me alot in my life. God blessed me with a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful rowdy kids. I love them all so much. My family supports me and they stick by me and they love me no matter how i treat them. Why? because that is what family does. I even have some pretty nifty in-laws so I have been triple blessed with family. :) So for day 2 I am thankful for my family. I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!
UPDATE:
My hubby went to the dr and they told him that he has diverticulitis. It is a digestive condition. He has to stay away from a lot of nuts and seeds and things that cause his flare ups. Also fried foods has to be limited to moderation...which to be honest everyone needs to limit that right? but its more so for him. His colon and stomach is infected right now and he is on antibiotics to get rid of it. Prayerfully he will start to be feeling better once those are gone. he also as meds for his flare ups. and he is on a steroid pack. Please pray that this is the true diagnosis and nothing more...the symptoms of diverticulitis and colon cancer are virtually the same. if these meds dont get him better then they have to do a colonoscopy to test for colon cancer. That terrifies me...
Me-well i went to the dr yesterday and they are thinking fibromyalgia which they gave me savella for. but they have to rule out so many things before they can officially say fibromyalgia. so more tests are in the future still for me. I am already premenopausal and i am only 24 years old. They also gave me neurotin. I can deal with the pain. I have been so far. I just dont know if i want to be put on those kind of pills right now with having early onset menopause. i dont want to take the chance of not being able to have any more kids. no i dont want or need anymore right now but in a year and a half or so i want to be able to have another one if i can. plus i hate taking pills...i know that i am being a whine bag about it but it is still my thoughts...i am going to be praying over this really really hard the next few days...I am in a lot of pain but i can deal with it if i need to...i have been so far. I just want to know what is wrong with me...Also one of the test they are testing me is my vitamin D level...hmm....
Well that is it for today i have a lot of things that i need to get done at my house and then start working on the christmas program! So excited about it!

A Lot has happened the last few weeks...
Well it certainly has been awhile since i have updated my blog. It has been a little wild and crazy and busy busy busy. I am now completely moved in minus a few boxes that STILL need to be gone through and put away...oh hubby...LOL.
Anyways. I am starting to become more comfortable driving now. And lol the more comfortable i feel the more it seems that God is throwing new things my way but I guess He is preparing me for obstacles in the future lol. There has been some road work going on in like 3 different places in El Dorado that i have to drive through. And it seems that i dont get an advanced notice lol i kinda just have to wing it and figure it out on my own which i have done pretty good so far :)
(doing their physical therapy on their legs)
Squish has had 2 knee surgeries since the last time i have posted. She is trying to be a tough bird and i am rather proud of her. I know that she in a lot of pain still but she keeps pushing through it. She works on her house getting it cleaned up and maintained...dishes dont wash theirself and neither does laundry and things like that...it sure would be nice but well they just dont. I think i need a robot named rosie like off the jetsons lol that would be nice. wow the jetsons i havent watched that show in such a long time. Anyways she has pulled her hamstring from trying to do too much (of course if yall know her yall know that she is like super stubborn and doesnt like to wait too long for things to just up and do them theirselves) and on top of maintaining her home she is also keeping children's church and kids of the king and the older class running smoothly. She is just amazing!
My hubby had to go to the ER recently (last thursday) because all of a sudden when we were talking he doubled over in pain and he couldnt hardly talk and walk or anything. After many hours of waiting and doing a ct scan and finding nothing we were sent home with pain meds and for him to follow up with his dr which thankfully was able to get in to see at 9 this morning. Maybe we will get a more accurate diagnosis? the dr at the ER is guessing kidney stones...he is still in so much pain and gets sick even at the thought of food. but he is so tough and still goes to work so that he can support his family. I love him so much. he just pushed through the pain even though many times it is unbareable. And on top of that his leg and foot is hurting him again...wow...and he doesnt even complain. He just amazes me. And i want to just slap myself for getting annoyed with him over the pettiest things but its like i just cant help it sometimes... He truly is a good man and I love him so much. Not many men would put up and go through and deal with or push through what he does. and he does it because he loves me and the babies so much. And it is clear and he leaves no doubt about it. I LOVE YOU JONATHAN RAYMOND LOVE SR!!!!!
We went to the pumpkin patch a few days ago and even though we really couldnt afford it we sacrificed and did it anyways. The kids had so much fun. I never went to a pumpkin patch before (at least not that i remember) but it was so much fun watching the kids have a blast. I love family time :)
NéNé turned 2 on the 8th of this month. My baby girl is growing up so fast. We celebrated with the theme of curious george. She loves that gunky. that is how she says monkey. Right now she loves spending her days watching curious george, pink pather with her bubba THANKS STEPHEN FOR GETTING JR ADDICTED LOL and watching football with her daddy. wow this child loves her some football and at this moment she dont care what team is playing or if she watches her daddy play on the ps3 she just loves to watch football. But we are teaching her to love the dallas cowboys though LOL even though they aint doing so hot this season but o well we are sticking by em :) And of course every year we watch the making of the dallas cowboys cheerleaders together. i started it from the first season and me and her have been watching it since she was just a couple weeks old and this year we added zz to our little shendig :) I love having family time and i love spending time and making memories with my babies and my hubby.
And finally to end this post. My beautiful sister in law Britney and my little brother Robert had my gorgeous niece 2 nights ago. I am such a proud aunt and its killing me not to be able to see them or my neice Khloe and my nephew Myles. Khloe Chanelle Rodgers was born on October 26, 2010 at 12:39 am weighing 7 pounds 11.2 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. She has brown hair and is just absolutely beautiful! WELCOME TO THE WORLD COCO!

Unfortunate & Fortunate Events
So it all started the day before we got to start officially moving in to our "new" home. Tuesday, August 31st. My mother in law and I were hanging curtains and it was really hot in the house as we hadnt moved our air conditioner yet. Well my mother in law passed out from dehydration and from not feeling good and not getting sleep. Well...she passed out off of the bench and hurt her leg. We thought it was broke and so we called th ambulance and they came rushing to the new house and rushed her off to the emergency room! A few hours later we found out that her leg was not broke. But "all kinds of tore up" from what the dr said. Then she was referred to a bone dr. Well a day or 2 later i started learning how to drive comfortably in El Dorado. lol. I'm rather proud of myself because i am doing pretty good now :) So if anything good came out of the fall was that i am now a driver lol.
Anyways. Squish and I went to see Dr. Rivers and she referred her to a different dr. and rehab and hopefully they will pay for everything. We are still waiting to hear back. We seen the dr this past tuesday and we found out that her ankle has a chip fracture (she has a chip out of her ankle) and her leg has torn ligaments and cartiledge. CRAZY! she is in a lot of pain but she is a trooper and a stubborn one at that LOL but im proud of her.
So we are just about moved in to our new house and squish even is helping alot. We have a system going on. Jonathan and Stephen go pack it up and bring it to the new house. Squish separates it into different baskets for the room (she can do it sitting on her butt) and i go put it away. We are almost done. Well i better go for now as we are hosting our first family night tonight. Watching the dallas cowboys GO COWBOYS and eating the food hubby grilled! YUM! well keep praying for news on the rehab situation! thanks and toodles!

The Plans
Well today we started cleaning the "new" house. The house still looks rough but SOOOOOO much better than it did before. It was/is dirty from the landlord working on it so me, squish, and amanda spent a few hours scrubbing it down...we have a little bit to finish up in the morning/tomorrow afternoon. But we will be able to start setting up the furniture that was donated to us as we had very little of anything. But that is ok at this point if very little matches right now because we aint got to sit in the floor. and a little at a time we will remodel and fix up one room at a time and get nicer furniture for each room after we get the room done...those are the plans anyways. So if we get any visitors just know that it may not be as nice or as well decorated as your beautiful home but someday i will have that but hey you will have a place to sit :)
I am so thankful for my family because they are helping me move and get things ready and set things up to make it as nice as possible. And Squish is even trying to come up with little things to help make my "theme" rooms be a little more of my theme. It is so sweet. She is doing everything in her power to make me a little happier with it. I love her. I love all my in laws and my family. Stephen and Hubby have also spent a lot of time in this house as well and our landlady is working her little old self out trying to make it a nicer home for us. She is so sweet. they are all really going above and beyond for me and my family.
Oh i am so excited...If squish says yes i think i want to host the christmas moms meeting at my house. Like i said things aint gonna match or nothing but i will have lots more room and a place to sit. And i think we would have fun. :) and also so that i can say that i can have a moms meeting in my own home :) i havent gotten to invite friends over since i have been married but very little...i have had a couple people over at a time but never been able to hostess anything. I am just so excited. That was just a thought.
Well I am tired and hurting but I wanted to share my plans and what is going on. Official "MOVING" day is thursday but we will be setting our donated stuff in place tuesday and wednesday! SO EXCITED.
PS we are not moving away in case anybody was wondering. We are moving to the big white house on the corner of our street. right directly across from my mother in law. It is so convenient for all of us and im very happy about the location. It is just next door. from 326 to 340. not sure of why the big number jump but it is literally one yard over...yes im gonna have my own yard! WOOHOO! God has really blessed me so much :)

The Contract has been signed...OFFICIAL HOMEOWNERS!!!!!!!
Well today was one of my worse days. I have felt sooooo horrible all day. In a lot of pain and horrible spinal headaches but i have such a sweet husband who has been pampering me today. I'm pretty sure i am going to have to go to the dr again. I already know that i am in early onset menopause and i have other issues...and with my oldest daughters birth i had an epidural to go bad...that was almost 2 years ago. Oh well...i dont want to be on pain meds all the time because even tylenol makes me so drowsy and makes me want to just sleep. So i just need prayer. Thanks. God has given me such a wonderful husband to take care of me when i have my "sick" spells and my worse days. God is so good!
In spite of that however, today also brings good and exciting news. this morning my hubby and i went to the bank with our landlords and we signed the contract for our new house! We are officially homeowners...we are so excited. of course there are things that still need worked on but that just goes with the territory. :) We get to start moving next weekend! Labor day weekend. My birthday is that saturday of labor day weekend! My hubby got me a house for my birthday! What an awesome birthday present lol. I think i will get him a new recliner for valentines day (with income taxes of course) as that was the deal. if he got me a bigger house then i would get him a new chair since i made him get rid of the other one. I am so excited about my gift :) My hubby did great didnt he? Thank you Lord for providing this wonderful opportunity and thank you hubby for my birthday present!
The house is now $26,000 because the electrician bill was higher than landlord expected but i knew it would be. :) but me and the hubby are fine with that as that is still a superb deal we are getting.
Well I am going to sign off of here and go lay back down as I am not feeling very good still. And me and hubby are gonna do a little packing tomorrow but also enjoy the day together. Maybe do a little "window" shopping for kids' christmas and house wants. i really want to have my bedroom painted too before we move...that is just a want but its what i have my heart set on...we may or may not have the money to buy the paint but hey i know that God is in control. And im a very greatful person right now to be blessed as much as i am. God is good!

Love is a powerful thing...
Well Sunday night I got to sit with my hubby in church for the first time in a LONG time. You see my hubby works at Andy's and he is one of the managers. so he usually is scheduled to work on sunday morning and closes on wednesday night (wednesdays he does inventory). So he usually get to go to church on sunday night. It was such a blessing. Bro. Chris Dallas preached an amazing sermon from the Lord. And my hubby and I kneeled at the altar to pray together and we rededicated our lives to the Lord and having a christian home for our children to grow up in and we want to train our children and show them God's Love not only at church but also in our home. Please pray for us because it is so easy to let the devil in just by our attitudes and the way we live our lives. And please pray for me as you know how the saying goes "if she aint happy aint nobody happy" and its true when they say that the woman is the temperature of the home. Because if im not happy then it seems to flood over to my family members: my hubby and my babies. And i most certainly dont want to be a stumbling block. i struggle with my prayer life and my devotion life. I seem to "NEED" God when things are downhill but when things go great again i ditch Him and shame on me for doing that! I am so glad that He treats me so much better than the way i treat Him. He always welcomes me back with open arms. Thank God for His mercy and His grace. Because He give me far more than what I deserve. In family devotions tonight i read Psalms 119:174 "I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight." I remember when i got saved that i longed for His salvation and His saving grace and I wanted to follow His law and i was happy. Why does it have to be any different nearly 16 years later? it dont. and with His help it wont be.
Well today was a super busy day. today i tackled mount foldmore. I had washed all my clothes and never folded them. i was super busy with the revival and then we are fixing to get ready to move and overall i have just been stressed and not feeling very good. Well i let my clothes get so behind that there was literally nothing left to wear for most of us. That was at least 2 weeks worth of laundry. Well i washed and washed and kept adding it to the pile to fold and put away later. well i got it all done except folding the socks and ironing 4 shirts. it took me 4 hours to fold and hang all those clothes! well lets just say i was exhausted! but im rather proud of myself...the rest of the house is for the morning.
Tonight my mother in law came over and we watched "17 Again" and it was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It made me think about how easy is it to complain about how we are or where we are in life or blame others for our actions. But shouldnt we own up to them. And were those actions good or bad? would you go back and change anything? Thinking back i wouldnt change the good or the bad because i wouldnt be where i am now if i did. And i love my husband and i love my kids and i love where God has me and i dont want to change what God has for me. lol kinda funny that a movie would make me think of things like this but thats ok because it was a thought worth thinking. I love my husband so much and i want to grow closer to him everyday as i grow closer to God. I want my babies to see the love we have for each other and our love for the Lord. I want to be able to be a good role model for them, in life, the way i live for God, and in my marriage. God gave me a good looking ;), softhearted, very loving man! I love you so much Jonathan Raymond Love Sr. Thank you for choosing ME as your bride. I wouldnt change it for the world or choose anybody different. I dont care how much you make, or how big or little you are, how sick or healthy you are I LOVE YOU. when i said i do for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health i said I DO one of the few best words that i have ever said and with God's grace we will get to do it again :) And i didnt stutter when i said them...I LOVE YOU!
well Im pretty tired and hurting and i have more household chores to do when i get up so i am signing off of here with a smile on my face and joy in my heart...

Well i washed and washed and kept adding it to the pile to fold and put away later. well i got it all done except folding the socks and ironing 4 shirts. it took me 4 hours to fold and hang all those clothes! well lets just say i was exhausted! but im rather proud of myself...the rest of the house is for the morning.
Tonight my mother in law came over and we watched "17 Again" and it was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It made me think about how easy is it to complain about how we are or where we are in life or blame others for our actions. But shouldnt we own up to them. And were those actions good or bad? would you go back and change anything? Thinking back i wouldnt change the good or the bad because i wouldnt be where i am now if i did. And i love my husband and i love my kids and i love where God has me and i dont want to change what God has for me. lol kinda funny that a movie would make me think of things like this but thats ok because it was a thought worth thinking. I love my husband so much and i want to grow closer to him everyday as i grow closer to God. I want my babies to see the love we have for each other and our love for the Lord. I want to be able to be a good role model for them, in life, the way i live for God, and in my marriage. God gave me a good looking ;), softhearted, very loving man! I love you so much Jonathan Raymond Love Sr. Thank you for choosing ME as your bride. I wouldnt change it for the world or choose anybody different. I dont care how much you make, or how big or little you are, how sick or healthy you are I LOVE YOU. when i said i do for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health i said I DO one of the few best words that i have ever said and with God's grace we will get to do it again :) And i didnt stutter when i said them...I LOVE YOU!
well Im pretty tired and hurting and i have more household chores to do when i get up so i am signing off of here with a smile on my face and joy in my heart...

God's Amazingness!
Well i have many mixed emotions going through me right now and of course i am absolutely certain it is the devil. we had revival tonight and God moved so greatly in the church tonight but of course i was in the nursery. Dont get me wrong I LOVE MY NURSERY BABIES...love em love em love em but i have a teensy bit of a jealous emotion right now cuz when things go on at the church or whereever i am the one who seems to miss it...just once i would love to see God move in such a great way. but i dont have enough volunteers right now to work so i do the work myself so that others can get the opportunity to hear the Word of God but i am at the point that i desperately need church and i need the opportunity to be passed on to me as well...so i read these posts and hear these people talking of how the night was so amazing and i missed out and so yeah i know its petty and whatever but i have that teensy bit of a jealous emotion going on...dont get me wrong i am sooooooooooo glad that God moved and worked wonders tonight i just wished i couldve been in there to see it too but hey the babies needed me and we had a blast. :)
Well how about a positive note on how God moved? God is sooooo amazing. I was working in the nursery and all of a sudden my hubby comes and gets me to step out for just a minute and he was balling like a baby...so im thinking uh oh what is going on? he is balling and hugging me for like 5 minutes and not saying anything just hugging me and crying on my shoulder so in my brain (i remained calm on the outside) was thinking what is going on? did somebody die? is someone in the hospital? what? im starting to flip out in my brain...but then my wonderful hubby starts talking and he is telling me how God got ahold of his heart and broke down the walls that He has had put up for a really long time. and there has been so many ups and downs lately. It was just amazing to see God moving in Him. no i may not have been in that building and seeing everything but God allowed me to get just a little taste of His awesomeness. so thank you God for that!
Well please pray for me as I am potty training my oldest 2. Can you say stubborn? My son knows what to do but is perfectly content just being dirty and wet and he is 3 years old (turned 3 in may) He is just being lazy! And now on top of this we will be moving by labor day! But i am so stinking excited about getting a much better house. (i live in a 1 bedroom now with 3 babies and my hubby) and we will be moving next door and still staying across the street from my in laws. It used to be a duplex and my landlord is in the process of finishing fixing it up for us and he is selling it to us for $25,000 financed through him...no interest...and no bank! God is so good. it is a 5 bedroom, 2 bath, kitchen, mini kitchette, breakfast nook, dining room, and a livingroom. i have so many plans and themes for each room and eventually im gonna have everything i ever dreamed...and the first one is coming true soon! (as far as the house that is cuz my dreams of being married and having beautiful babies and an amazing family has come true already!) im gonna actually own a house and get to do what i want to with it :) im just so excited. Plans for decorating the next few years...Livingroom...Dallas Cowboys! furniture and all :) Office (1 bedroom) hubby wants razorbacks. Kitchen, breakfast room, and dining room is a sea/ocean theme. Jrs room...spiderman and friends. NeNes room...disney princess. and ZZs room is tinkerbell. Kids bathroom is frogs. And the other bathroom and mini kitchenette will be zebra! :) im pretty excited! We sign the contract on the 26th of this month and can start moving anytime after that but most likely not til labor day due to last minute touches. well i gotta go. its late and im tired. but im so very blessed and thankful for Gods goodness and mercy!
Love in Christ,

Haven't posted in awhile because...
Well i just spent the last 4 1/2 hours trying to figure out and recover my username and password but well hey i finally found it so im gonna try this blogging thing one more time. i have emailed myself all of my information so that if this happens to happen again it will be easily found lol.
I'm keeping this short and sweet for now until i get up later in the day and can blog about what is new in my life. bare with me as i'm new to blogging (kind of a pro at facebooking lol) but i want to step away from only facebooking. dont get me wrong i love facebooking and playing on my frontier and things but there is sometimes i just want to start journaling. writing down my thoughts and just kind of keeping somewhat of a diary of my life and the things and people in it. and hey this way is cheaper as it saves on ink/lead/paper. :) well it is super late and way past my bedtime so i am signing off for now and will blog again later and tell my latest news...stay tuned...
