As many of you know, today marks the 10 year anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado (USA) that took place April 20, 1999, starting just shortly after 11:00 am MST. 13 people, including 12 students and one teacher were killed and 24 others were wounded by two students who later turned the guns on themselves. It was such a tragic event and the effects of it can still be felt by some today. May we all take a moment and remember the lives of those who were lost and the loved ones they left behind and also the survivors.

This has been s tiring, but good week.  Since Nikie decided to move to Shark Space, she and I have been working our tails off installing all her FLs in enth and uploading all her files on the new server.  Wednesday, we both kind of took it easy, but Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, we worked hard.  But I've really enjoyed it.  As far as my site goes, I just have a few FLs that need new layouts pretty bad and I've decided to move all FLs not hosted in relating subdoamin into my main site folder.  the "fan" folder is just getting on my nerves.  But other than a few new layouts there isn't much more to do to clean up my site except maybe making some codes for some of them that need it pretty bad.  But that will come with time.  I'm hoping to get my computer up and going and/or a new computer within a month or so and I may wait til then to get down to the nitty gritty on code making.

But the main thing I really need to get busy on is layouts for my Reba site and my Love Saga site.  And I am bound and determined, with God's help, to totally both of those layouts myself.  Nikie and Leigh Ann both have been great at showing some of their coding, but I am determined to code these layouts myself with God's help.  I've got a few pics together for the Love Saga site, but I'm trying to figure out how to put it together so it doesn't look like a two year old made it.  But I know God can and will help with this too.  He always does and He never lets me down. :)  If I can just get the main scheme of these sites up, I can gradually add the content I want to do for them.  I've got a pretty good idea of what all I want on my Love Saga site, but my Reba site, I haven't gotten that all figured out yet, but I will.

Anyways, this weekend I'm just gonna take it easy from site work and enjoy some relaxtion at home or whatever.

Well Nikie and I never were able to get our Tony/Jeannie site listed in her Enth panel.  On Monday when I tried again and it still didn't work, Nikie confided in me that she getting so tired of EStarr.  She said their hosting was great at first but they've turned cruddy.  So after like two minutes of telling her again of how much I liked Shark Space, she decided to move to them.  I'm so happy she's coming over there as Shark Space is one heck of hosting company.  They're always there and yes they've had their quirks like anyone, but they're always ready to help when you have a problem.  

So Nikie and I spent the rest of the afternoon on Monday moving some of her fanlistings over to her new site.  We also figured out a way, thanks to Michi, to get oru site corsslisted in her new Enth panel as well used our domain on all of our related fanlistings.  We gave our site it's own Enth panel and we installed all of our related listings as well as our site in the new enth panel.  And now what we're doing is we're using the co-owned snippet of information to list our individual fanlistings in our own enth panels and then same snippet of info to list our site in both of our enth panels.  I know it sounds complicated, but Nikie and I are really excited about it.  I had been praying about a solution to our co-owned problem and sicne Nikie's moving to Shark Space, God has just worked everything out for both of us. :)

Then yesterday, I helped Nikie move some more of her fanlistings over and then I with God's help, I made a new layout for my fanlisting for the pilot episode of I Dream of Jeannie.  I actually made two of them and Nikie helped me choose which one to use.  She also gave me some new screencaps for it.

Then today I didn't have time to do much.  I did get a layout done for my fanlisting for the 5th season of I Dream of Jeannie.  So it's done and all moved over to it's new home.

Not much more to tell.  I'll be going back to work soon.  I really want this job I interviewed for last week.  It has better hours and good pay.  But if I don't get it, I may end up having to go back to Wal Mart.  I don't want to but if I have to I will.  If this job I interviewed for last week isn't what God wants for me right now, I can accept that.  And if He wants me to go back to Wal Mart, I can accept that too.

Anywho, nothing more to tell right now.  Will write more later.
 

Well I've been over at my friend's house everyday this week working on revamping some fanlistings and making all new layouts for them.  It's hard work but it's fun.  I did them for Barbra Jean Hart: Reba, Reba/Barbra Jean: Reba, Melissa Peterman, and My Little Girl by Tim McGraw.  With God's help I got them all up and I'm really pleased with how they turned out.  I'm also working on making some more codes for them.  I got some for Melissa Peterman and My Little Girl.  But the others will have to wait til later as I'm tired. You can see them all over at my site.  I was also approved for a new fanlisting, the relationship between Brock and Kyra on Reba.  Go figure, I applied Monday night and Tuesday morning the approval was in my inbox. :)  How about that. :)  I already have it up and it's ready for members.  So join if you're a fan. :)

I've also kid of gotten back into  a show I used to watch---7th Heaven.  I quit watching it because I kind of lost interest for a while and plus I didn't like some of the things they did towards the end of the series.  But since it has starting coming on Hallmark Channel, I've gotten back into it and I'm really enjoying it.  Right now they're in season 2.  I'm thinking about adding this to my fanlisting wishlist.

I've also really enjoyed talking to Nikie over these last days.  We haven't gotten to talk a whole lot since my computer went down so I take advantage every chance I get.  Luckily my friend has Windows Messenger (same as MSN Messenger) on her computer.  She's also a big help when it comes to my site with her opinions and all. Right now, she and I are trying to get oru Tony/Jeannie site/fanlisting as well as HER Jeannie fanlisting (it's listed in my enth panel even though it isn't my fanlisting so she can host on our domain we bought for Tony and Jeannie) listed in her enth panel, but we keep getting errors.  We've followed the instructions explicitly and we can't figure out what we're doing wrong.  But I've prayed about it and we've both emailed someone we know who co-owned listings to see if they will help us.  So I bet we have it all done in no time.

I have also applied for a major---top five---wishlister.  *sits on pins and needles :)

Anyways, that's it for now.  It's about time for me to go home.  Take care everyone.

It has definitely been a great day indeed.  Been a great week as well.  I've kind of taken it easy this week, but I got down to business on some FLs and stuff today.  I got my fanlisting for Scout Taylor Compton up and gave Skye McCole Bartusiak a new layout.  They both look great and I couldn't have done it without God's help.  He never lets me down. :)  I hope to get some more layouts redone come Monday, Lord willing.

I also got a new forums set up for my Love Comes Softly site.  I still have a little finagling to do on it before I publicize it.  I hope to possibly get a layout done for the main site on Monday, Lord willing as well as try to do my own coding for it or at least start attempting.  Hopefully I can get some good tutorials to do it. :)

Lord willing, I'll also be opening a fansite Reba (the tv show).  I'm really excited about it as I've wanted to do one for a long time.  And Nikie has agreed to come on staff with me and help me out.  And also I'll be buying a domain for it once I get my income tax, Lord willing.  And hopefully I can go ahead and get a layout done for it soon.  I'll also be hosting all my Reba related fanlistings on that domain.

That's it for now. :)

It has been a super duper long time since I've used my journal.  I quit using it for a while because I didn't really have time for it and plus I just didn't want to for a while.  But  now I wanted to start using it again a little bit.  Right now my theme is a pre-made one until i learn how to put my own layout and style I want on it.

Anyhow, a lot has gone on lately.  I've been on a leave of absence from work since the beginning of December because my grandma has been very sick.  She's getting better, but she's still weak.    But she'll get better.  She's just  gotten real discouraged because it's been on thing after another.  But the Lord is looking out for all of us.

I've been really busy pruning my site down to only the fanlistings I really want and adding some new fanlistings.  I now own all six of the Love Comes Softly movies that are out and I am so happy about that.  I'm even going to be making a new site (Lord willing) like a little mini-collective will all my Love Comes Softly related fanlistings and combine them into on fansite, with each fanlisting still having it's own section.  They'll just be in a new folder and Lord willing I'll be adding more stuff to the site as a whole and possibly a message forum eventually.  But we'll see though.

I'm also enjoying being a trouble checker for TFL.  I got picked for that right around my birthday a year ago so it was kind of like a birthday present and I was like, "Oh thank you Lord!!".  I trouble check for three categories: actresses, authors/writers, and tv shows.  And I've just gotten all new TC bosses for all three.  For actresses, my good friend, Hazel, was just welcomed aboard the category staff as the actresses troubles staffer.  Then for tv shows, Chelsea (who has already been a staffer for  a while) took over the troubles portion.  Then I don't know who yet for authors/writers as Manda was the staffer but I noticed she wasn't listed on her name at the boards as the staffer for the category anymore.  But who knows.  No matter who it is, I'm sure they'll be wonderful.  TFL has is also conducting a staff volunteer drive and have already welcomed two new staffers on board. :)  They still have some more positions to fill.  I put in my bid as I wold just love to move up to category staffer.  I've wanted to be one for as long as I can remember.  So I made sure Adia had still had my application and sure enough she does.  I updated my category choices and really in all honesty, I would love to help out in any category except for the adult so I put that on there too.  Anyways, if I don't get picked this time around, that's okay.  When the right time rolls around (if it isn't this time), I'll get picked.  In the meantime, I'm glad I can still be on the TC staff.

That's about it for now.  Hopefully, I will write more later on.

I am absolutely blessed far beyond what I deserve. In fact I do not even deserve to be blessed. But the Lord God himself in his infinite mercy and love blesses me everyday. I don't deserve it, but that is what His grace is all about. It's His unmerited favor on my life and on the lives of all who believe in Him and receive it. God's love and his free gift of salvation are truly the best things that could have ever happened to me because without it, I wouldn't even be here. I recently heard a message by one of my favorite preachers, Joyce meyer, and she was talking baout His love and she encouraged us to be on the lookout everyday for evidence of His love for us. I mean even the little things like finding a good parking spot at the gracery store or even a smile from someone. I know without a shadow of a doubt that God loves me no matter what. he knows of every dumb thing I have ever done in the past and what is amazing is that he knows about every dumb thing I will do in the future and He still loves me.

I am in no way perfect but I do desire to please God in everything I do. The important thing is He knows my herat and He knows I want to please Him and that in itself pleases Him. I want to know Him in an intimate way and I want to receive His love so that I may share His love with other people. God loves people and people are the most important part of His creation to Him. SO I know that He expects me to treat people well even when they don't treat me well. No is that supposed to be easy? Heck no! God never said it would be easy. SOmethings are and some things aren't. But no matter how easy or difficult things are, we all need Him. I know that I cannot go through one day safely without Him. And that includes loving other people. I want to love other peo-le as Jesus did. I know that will include some sacrifice. God showed His love with the ultimte sacrifice by sending His only son Jesus to die for our sins. What amazing love that is.

I just know that no matter what I have or what I say or what I do, I cannot live one single day of my life without God. WIthout Him, all I have is worthless anyway. He is the one who gave it to me but even if I did not have one single thing or person in my life, I would still have God and in Him I have everything.

Hey all! I have another day off from work to enjoy. I have to help mymom clean house osme though, although that isn't bad. I have learned to enjoy my life no matter what I'm doing. But my mom and I are also going ot get a coke later too. That seems to be the one thing we do everytime I'm off is go get a coke. It's been one my most favorite things to do, besides play on the ocmputer.

I am also so proud of myself. Thanks to my good friend's Nikie and Leigh Ann I have a bradn new l;ook on my fanlisting collecive. Leigh Ann has made me a beautifl layout and Nikie has taught me soem wonderful coding techniques and I got a ton of work done on it yesterday. But now comes the chore of converting all my fanlistings to the new format. But that will come with time. Anyways, that's it for now. Be back later.

Hey everyone I'm back! I haven't used this journal much but I'm fixing to start. But I do need some help. I want to totally change this layout so if there is anyone who can help me, please let me know. Thanks.
