Day 52-60

    Well hello everyone out there.  Sorry I am a little late tonight getting the blog up... I was working on my special project for the wedding.  Only 14% complete now.  God has just been doing wonderful things in our lives.  Personally I have asked someone to become my accountability partner, someone who will ask me the questions I do not want asked and to help me stay on the path that God has for me.  He is helping me to become the man He has designed me to be.  This week He is working on my heart and some things that I have been holding on to as trying to take care of said things myself.  He has complete control and I need to continue to give things up to Him so that I can become more like Him. 
    Well I think we found the cake the we are going to have at the wedding.  We went to Eber and Rebekah's wedding this last weekend and it was wonderful.  Totally God honoring.  At the wedding we saw people we have not seen in forever which was great.  We also found the cake there.  It is going to be great.  We are also putting together the save the dates which we hope to have out by the first week of December.  The wedding dress still has not arrived and we are getting a little worried but all in good time.  We are getting ready for Thanksgiving and seeing where God has us to be as there are several options out there for us.  We have completed 2 gift registries and I get a little excited because I love planning what our future is going to be and look like.  We talked about our next house a little bit and now I just need to get on the computer and design some possible floor plans that we would be interested in.  Yes I shall do this in my spare time between working full time, going to school, working on the special project, being engaged, and all the other planning having to do with the wedding.... oh and the holidays of course.  We have selected a DJ for the wedding and God put him right in our laps thanks to Pricey. 
    God continues to show His hand in our lives as He bring people into our lives and how He takes care of us.  We are so grateful for all those people who are helping us with the wedding and to become the people we need to be for each other and for others.  Tanya had a record breaking day as she saw 30 patients in one day this last week.  I cannot imagine what that must be like. 
    Please keep Roxie and our friend in your prayers as they continue to battle the recovery from surgery and cancer.  Please continue to be in prayer that we can show Christ to those around us and let Christ mold us into the people that He has designed us to be.  Please also pray that we can get some time to just hang out.  I feel that it has been a while as we are constantly planning for our future, the wedding, and just trying to get everything done.  We want this wedding to shine Christ in every way and also to be enjoyable for everyone.  We thank everyone again for your thoughts and prayers and help.

Love
Dave and Tanya

Day 38-51

Hey everyone.  Once again I am sorry for taking so long to get the update up.  Wow it has been just crazy busy and crazy blessings all over the place.  God is so good and takes care of His children so well.  We have been busy just getting to know each other and becoming the people God has us to be for each other.  We are getting the save the dates together and they should be out before next Friday.  If anyone receives a call asking for your address then that is what it is probably for unless we already have it.  I know I need to get on that a little so I will probably be calling a few of you this week.  I don’t know if I mentioned yet but the dress has been bought!!!   We are running a 5k pre-turkey trot in a couple weeks, “we” are very excited about.  (the “we” meaning she is and I am just looking forward to spending time with her even though I will not be able to breath the entire time and probably have to have the EMS come pick me up)  We are getting ready to spend some holiday with my family and then rush back for Black Friday.  Well some of us will be working or sleeping before work and some of us will be battling for a couple items for the workshop and house and just enjoy the company of a few hundred thousand people crammed into small areas of business.  

               

     We are very blessed as we had a scare this past week.  Newdell seemed to be very sick and we both were worried she might go on to be with Jesus but thankfully God wanted Newdell to grace us with her presence for a little while longer.  It looks as if she just had a virus of some sort and with the proper medication, she is back to her loving self. 

I am still working on my secret project.  It is moving along and I have gotten some additional assistance to help complete the job.  I am still excited about the project and only had a small set back but ready to take it on in the next couple days.  I am a little nervous as this project is time consuming and I know it will probably take up until the wedding to complete.  I know God has everything under control, still just want to make sure I am using the time He is giving me wisely.

We are just about ready to jump into the wonderful world of gift registry stuff.  I say stuff because I am not really sure what all it entails.  We are looking forward to it to get to know each other better and to be able to see what the whole process is about. 

We are still working on the transportation, meaning limo and looking at different possibilities there.  If anyone has any advice on said subject please feel free to email me at david.ghysels@gmail.com. 

We are meeting with Mike, the DJ, someone who we believe God has laid in our path to fill this position tonight.  We will go over songs, length, and general information.  We WILL be having people dance so please start working on your moves for the dance and if anyone claims they cannot dance, just watch me and know that it is impossible to do worse than me, all that to say please enjoy and we look forward to seeing you on the dance floor.  I will tell you that… wait nope, I am not going to ruin any surprises…. Just come ready to have a good time and enjoy what Christ is doing. 

       

     **** Special note: Dad aka Boss aka Tim will be making his way out onto the dance floor ****

We will be celebrating at Eber and Rebekah’s wedding this weekend.  What a great story of Christ working in another couple’s lives. 

Please be in prayer for Roxie as she is having surgery on Tuesday 11-08-11.  She is a dear friend and many of you know her.  Ok well, some of you may know her but the great thing about prayer is that it does not matter if you know the person or not.  God works in wonderful ways through prayer.  Please continue to pray the God ties our hearts together and prepares us to be the people for each other that we need to be.  I don’t know if I am allowed to share whom this person is but please pray for a dear friend of ours who is battling cancer.  They are very strong and we just want to keep them in our prayers.
