It's a Boy and I am due March 28th 2012&lt;br /&gt;
We will name him Max and the other two are excited to have a new baby brother on the way&lt;br /&gt;
I am the size of a small house and I get rounder and rounder every day LOL &lt;br /&gt;
We are bring transfered from Ft. Bliss, EL Paso Texas to Red River, Hooks, Texas and wouldnt be happier. Hooks is somewhere we are totally head over heels in love with and this is such an answer to out prayers!&lt;br /&gt;
We are buying our first house ( more details later!)! The&amp;nbsp;home we&amp;nbsp;would like to buy is in Texarkana, Texas and on the most breath taking street ever ( GRASS AND TREES!!!!!) &lt;br /&gt;
We do not yet know our move date just that it is getting near. &lt;br /&gt;
The kids are still homeschooled and&amp;nbsp;yes, they still drive me bonkers every day....&lt;br /&gt;
I am about to pass out so I am headed to bed now.

&amp;nbsp;So the question I have been asked a lot today by friends is if I ventured out on Black Firday or not and well the answer to that question would be....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;OF COURSE!!! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;LOL I am one of those crazy people that love black friday and I love the 'hunt' for those awesome deals and bargains. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This year ( like every other year ) I went on the hunt with some great friends, between the three of us we were able to get pretty much everything that we were wanted there were a couple of things that we were unable to get but that was because the store didn't have it in stock.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
Did you venture out on Black Friday? Or did you stay home and have left overs? &lt;br /&gt;
I also got the wonderful chance to shoot an amazing and fun family on Black Friday, they were a lot of fun and I was honored to be their photographer. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;for those of you that are photographers out there - here is a great giveaway going on now over at ...&lt;br /&gt;

Holy Moly! &lt;br /&gt;
Well first off- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;HAPPPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! everyone!!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I LOVE Thanksgiving! I love watching my hubby- YES, MY HUBBY deep fry the turkey and cook the rest of dinner for all of us. I bake the pies the night before and do as much prep work as I can. It's the cleaning the house that I don't like! LOL But it has to be done right? Well my Hubby says so anyways! LOL&lt;br /&gt;
This year on Turkey day also happens to be my baby sisters Birthday!! She is turning 23 this year. I am so proud of her and who she has become. I know Mom would be proud of her too. So a &lt;span style="color: #660000; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;big huge HAPPY Birthday to her!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year we are hosting friends at our home and we are excited to have them here with us. I wish we had room for many many more! Once we build our dream home Look out! It's going to be a party! I will be inviting everyone in town! lol but shhhh don't tell my hubby he is always the one cooking and he may not be to thrilled with that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As with the keeping of the day, these are&amp;nbsp;some of the&amp;nbsp;things that I am thankful for:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;My faith in God, because with out him I am nothing and never will be. For it is through his grace, love, and forgivness that I am here. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My family, both those that live with me in my home and those that do not, with out the love and forgivness of my loved ones through out the years I would not be the woman that I am today- flawed but very loved.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;That I have a place to call a home, not just a house. For the love that flows through here each and everyday and I am thankful to be a part of it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For my clients! I am just starting out and I am thankful to those that have given me the honor of shooting their families and events&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My horse! Of COURSE! LOL With out Fanci my life would have been such a mess, there were many moments in my life growing up that I spent in the barn just talking to her trying to figure out life as a teenager.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For my friends near and far, there are many people that have come and gone through out my life and each one has heloed to make me the person that I am today. But I am most thankful for those friends that have been with me though-out the years and have stuck by me through thick and thin.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For my new friends, I am not always the eaisest person in the world, I forget everything and have to be told a million time before I remember anything, but thank you for hanging in there with me!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;For these are just some of the things that I am thankful for, there are so many others but time is tight and there is just to many to list. I have been very blessed in my life and if I was to be called away 'home' today I could go happy. &lt;br /&gt;
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-9163493815273433153?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I know it's&amp;nbsp; been a while since I have last posted but a lot has been going on here! I have new photos up on my facebook page you can link to it &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/elvshots"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;if you have a facebook page I would love to have you as a 'like' on the page! Let me know that you are there from here! :-) &lt;br /&gt;
My hubby had to have another sugery but is doing great. He will be back up on his feet again in no time I am sure of it! &lt;br /&gt;
It's getting cold here- not my favorite thing of all time but I guess it has to get cold in order for it to get warm again. It also means that it is time to break out the winter boots which I totaly adore! I love love love boots but it's just to warm in the summer to wear them I don't like sweaty feet! - But then again who really does right? ICK! &lt;br /&gt;
And is there anyone else out there that the moment it starts to get cold you start craving&amp;nbsp; sweets? I always wonder why I can't lose weight LOL! It might just have something to do with my sweet tooth.&amp;nbsp; At the moment I could totaly go for a case of brownies!&lt;br /&gt;
There really isn't anything new besides hubby and his medical 'things' The house is a mess like normal, I have to cook now that hubby is on crutches again, and we are gearing up for the holiday season, that pretty much wraps it up! LOL Man I lead a borning life!&amp;nbsp; But I guess better then being drama filled. &lt;br /&gt;
So what is new in your household?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-7561453574450205083?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Needing cute Christmas cards????</title><content type="html">Looking to buy some extremely cute cards for this holiday season? I have just the place to buy them from! .... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Shutterfly !! &lt;br /&gt;
{ &lt;a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/"&gt;Click Here to go to there page&lt;/a&gt; } &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;They have tons and tons of awesome holiday cards to browse through until you can find that perfect one for you and your family. And I pretty much guarantee that you are going to fall in love this more then one style and if you are anything like me then you just might have to buy both!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;I personally love the Thanksgiving cards { &lt;a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/thanksgiving-cards"&gt;You can find them here&lt;/a&gt; } &lt;br /&gt;
They have everything you can think of- from Christmas to Thanksgiving &lt;br /&gt;
Just are just some of the things they offer on there site: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photo Books&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cards &amp;amp; Stationery&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prints &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calendars &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Photo Gifts&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Home Décor &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;This is one of the better sites that I have found for anything that has to do with photos. As a blossoming photographer this site is one that I recommend to my clients when they are looking for gifts or just for something for their own home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This is also a site that I use my self- the age old theory- if it's good enough for you then it's good enough for me! =) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Here is the link so that you can upload your photos { &lt;a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/upload-pictures"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; } &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;And want to hear something else that is just amazing, awesome, and spectacular??? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;Bloggers get 50 free cards from Shutterfly, click here and find out how!!..... &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/sfly2010"&gt;http://bit.ly/sfly2010&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So the question to ask is-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"&gt;Where are you going to get your cards from??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-2863973417978475683?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I was lucky enough and honored to be selected to do an amazing blog review on the new Chevy Mabliu for a month. I was going to get to drive the car around and then blog about it, for the month that I was driving it. I was sooooooooo super excited - beyond words to be honored to drive and write the review, but do to some family issues I had to turn down the review. BUUUUT keep an eye out there are two other lovey young ladies who are also doing the review for Chevy here in the El Paso, Texas area. When I can get their blogging information I will post it here so we all can watch and keep up with the month long review. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to also send out a bug huge thank you to Holly over at Business 2 Blogger for setting me up with Chevy to even do the review in the first place, thank you Holly for thinking of me when offering blogger's names to Chevy. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This has been a HUGE honor to even be giving the chance to do this review.

LOL Oh, there are lots that I Could be doing, like cleaning the mess of things up in the living room, or washing that huge stack of dirty dishes in the sink, doing laundry, even getting things put together for church tomorrow... but instead what I am doing? I'm sitting here goofing off on-line and&amp;nbsp;fighting with my new phone- which by the way is winning the fight. Mike is in the living room on the other computer watching some show something about stargate or what not, I wasn't really listening, LOL &lt;br /&gt;
The kids are in bed, and my thoughts are wondering off, I want to get out this week and take pictures of them in their costumes, which we bought tonight at Party City. I swear that every year costumes cost more and more! Think about people! Your kids wear them for just ONE night a year!! And here I was paying 49.00 for the 2 of them, and I didn't even allow them to get "the good ones!" I feel like such a sucker! lol Goodness how do people afford the costumes with the "works"? goodness they either have GREAT jobs or that is a big bill on the CC later that month! LOL I feel like I should start saving up now for next year! I better learn to sew!! And who ever thought of having all of these holidays so close together? I need a break- a money break! LOL I am sooo very thankful that I only have 2 kids to buy for, more would always be a blessing, kids always are, but I don't think our pocket books could handle it!&lt;br /&gt;
Well I better get off of here if I ever want to have anything clean to wear to church tomrow!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-858020667073276060?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;Sorry that is has been a short bit since I posted last, we have had some sick kiddos in the house! So now&amp;nbsp;that we are all feeling better { for the most part!} I have a slight favor to ask of all of you! could you please go here:&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americastopphotography.com/site/Americas-Top-Photographer/photographer_20026"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;America's Top Photography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and vote for my pictures? under my pictures { there are 2 of them} my name will be listed { it just says Erica} I would REALLLLLLLLLLY love to win for this next week! one is titled "&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sun Rise Lillies&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;" and the other " &lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Hand in Hand- Sibling Love&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;On to other news I am spending the weekend doing much of nothing, I have just a moment or two of shopping to get done and then we are starting to make Christmas lists around here. I have bought some&amp;nbsp;of the&amp;nbsp;Christmas gifts, it's not very much and there are still a few to buy! Besides, what fun is Christmas shopping if you don't have the list of a 4 year old and a 9 year old to go off of? :) &lt;br /&gt;
I do how ever need to start buying winter clothes for those kids of mine, I can't believe how much they have both grown since last winter!! Both of them need just about new everything! Phew! I better win the lotto or something soon! Well I guess I better start playing it first! LOL &lt;br /&gt;
We are going out next week and doing fall pictures { just the kids} and I am excited, there is this realllly awesome train here { just sitting at a store!} and I am going to see if we can use it in the shoot, it looks all rusted and vintage.... how cool would that be? So much fun!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Well, it's getting late so I better wrap this post up! &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;nbsp;I never thought that I would be so happy about those words. While growing up when asked when my favorite time of year was I always answered summer, there was never even a second thought to it.... it was Summer- period. &lt;br /&gt;
Well now that I am a little older ( JUST a little gosh darn it! LOL) I am totaly falling in love with Fall, the color changes, the crunch of the leaves under my boots, the rain, and of course the start of the holiday photo season! I plan on taking my 2 kiddos out very soon to take their Fall/Christmas pictures. I have been day dreaming all week about where I want to take them and how I want them to look. But in all honestly I am going to get them goofing off I always do, but thats okay we always have fun and when I get them done I promise to post them for everyone. If you haven't headed over to my facebook page yet, I would love to have you as a "like" over there you can find it through this link &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/elvshots"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I wish I had more time to write more tonight but it's late and well there are kids to take care of come morning!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-5362071757982332756?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Things have been going well for me and the family here. Homeschooling is going well for Melessa, she has been getting a days worth of work done in 4 hours or less, which is great for us! That then leaves us the extra time to do fun things like go to the park and play group meet ups! I have taken on the daily baby sitting duties for a friend's family, so here is what most of my&amp;nbsp;days look like now:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I have to get up at 4 am ( yes, really!) and I am out the door by 415/430 and on the way to their house ( yes, I pick them up every weekday) then it's time to clean her house a little get her babies up ( and they are sooo sweet) and head home to start school with Melessa. I get home about 9 some times 930 we start school then, if she hasn't started with out me! we do school work until about 10/1030 and then take a break for brunch ( that would be because I am starving! ha ha) then head back to work until about 1230 or so then it's lunch time. by 1/130 she is pretty much finished with the day and we then have the daily fight over her needing to clean her room ( I swear one day I'm just going to lose it and hide it all!!) and then she has free time to do what ever she wishes! Then dinner and I take the babies home ( yes, I really drive them back every day too!)&amp;nbsp; I get back home and try TRRRRRRRRY to stay awake long enough to get some editing done on my photos and watch 'my' tv shows but lately i have gotten a LITTLE bit of editing down and fallen asleep while trying to watch 'my' tv shows! I have forgotten how sooo very tiring it was to have babies in the house! &lt;br /&gt;
That is pretty much my life at the moment!!&amp;nbsp; And shoved in there some where&amp;nbsp;is my photography! LOL I have been LOVING every single moment of it too by the way! I am so glad that I took the plunge and started offering my services as a photographer. I have met some of the nicest people and it's all because of pictures! Who would have thought right?&amp;nbsp; If you would like to view the photography work that I have done please visit my site&lt;span style="background-color: #666666;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wix.com/elvshots/home"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #666666; color: #f4cccc;"&gt;Here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or my facebook page&lt;span style="color: #f4cccc;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/elvshots"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: #444444; color: #f4cccc;"&gt;Here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to have you as a "like" or "fan" my facebook page!

Guess we will find out!</title><content type="html">So I know that it has been a while but things here have been so crazy busy!!! With getting ready for the start of school, hubby still going to physical therphy 3x a week, and trying to start up in photography it has been busy busy around here!&lt;br /&gt;
I am loving 'doing' photography for others, I have always been in to photography- but just as a hobby and for my family. I don't know when I came up with the idea so step out and offer my services to other, but it has been on my mind for a long while now. And in all honesty I wasn't sure that I ever really would make the jump. It's scary for me, I don't want to end up looking like a fool and falling flat on my face! And I am not near what some photographers are {yet!} but I love every moment so far that I have spent shooting for others! I am hoping that as time goes on I will gain more and more in my skills and in my love {and of course a customer base!}.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I have opened up a Facebook fan page for my&amp;nbsp;photography it's listed under &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/LunarChyld?v=photos#!/pages/El-Paso-TX/ELV-Shots/136587123042588?ref=ts&amp;amp;__a=15&amp;amp;ajaxpipe=1"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;ELV Shots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and I would love to have you come on over and "like" it! &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I would love to hear what is new and going on in everyone else lives....&lt;br /&gt;

Back to School time!</title><content type="html">This year as we get ready for school and do our back to school shopping it's a lot differant then it has been in the last years- Kinder through 3rd grade. Instead of buying tons of new clothes, picking out a cool back pack, and finding shoes that can stand up to playground torture. We are buying&amp;nbsp;loads of paper, a large chalk board, bookcases, cleaning off the desk,&amp;nbsp;even a new computer..... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;WHY????&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; you ask...... &lt;br /&gt;
Good question! Because this year my children are not going back to school.... "brick and mortor"&amp;nbsp;{b&amp;amp;m}&amp;nbsp;style. We are homeschooling, and when I say we I mean Both me and my husband. Since he is home until&amp;nbsp; Febuary or March he is going to take on the subjects of Math, some Sicence, and Art ( thank goodness he is a good artist!!&amp;nbsp;I am &lt;em&gt;HORRIBLE&lt;/em&gt;!!!). I am soo very thankful he is taking on this challange with me. I honestly don't know if I would be able to take it on by my self!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am a little nervouse about my teaching skills and if I am going to be able to ' keep it together' or not. I want there to be a differance between "mom-mom" and "homeschool-mom" I want my children to understand that when it's time for school it's time for school no questions ask, get ready, sit down, and learn! I know it's not going to really work out like that but a mother can dream can't she?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I know that the days ahead are not by any means going to be simple, but it's a jump that Hubby and I feel needs to be taken. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The school that our Mimi want to the last half of the school year here in Texas was very and I stress &lt;em&gt;VERY&lt;/em&gt; unimpressive. There were many many things that upset us over the course of the school year that were never 'taken care of.' And in all honestly we were made to feel that just because our daughter was scoring well on her year end tests and because the state gives them money for her being at school- &lt;em&gt;THAT&lt;/em&gt; is the reason why they wanted her there. Not because her teacher wanted to teach and she had a love for it, and to top it all of 'they' made my daughter feel like the odd ball out with her blond hair and blue eyes. I know sounds weird being the add ball out looking like that, but honestly she is the &lt;em&gt;ONLY&lt;/em&gt; student in her &lt;em&gt;ENTIRE&lt;/em&gt; grade that did &lt;em&gt;NOT&lt;/em&gt; have brown hair and brown eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this year we are taing on the task of homeschool- with a lot of help from &lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;Connections Academy{.com }&lt;/span&gt; CA has sent all of her books and even a computer for her to use for the school year { it is a free -public- school - and everything was sent free} we just pay to ship it back at the end of the year. Something well worth the cost for a year of great school. &lt;br /&gt;
I will be blogging through out the year about how we are doing and what we are doing.... &lt;br /&gt;
Please keep us in your prayers!!&lt;br /&gt;
Happy blogging!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-1020645195879241531?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;I have to start out by saying that when I was first had heard about this book I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have been reading a lot of Amish fiction and before that my reading 'taste' jumped around quite a bit. I always seem to come back to the thrilling 'spy' type of books. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I was excited to open my mail box one afternoon to find &lt;em&gt;The Witness &lt;/em&gt;sitting there waiting for me to curl up with.&amp;nbsp; This is the first Josh McDowell novel that I have had the wonderful opp to read { Yes,&amp;nbsp;I plan on reading as much of 'him' as I can in the coming months}&lt;br /&gt;
Just to give you a taste of what the book is about: { taken from the website &lt;a href="http://www.josh.org/"&gt;http://www.josh.org/&lt;/a&gt; }&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
" From Monte Carlo to Morocco to Egypt and into Petra, Marwan Accad is pursued by authorities for murders he did not commit. Tracked by advanced intelligence-surveillance technology, his every location is eventually found out, thrusting those he loves into danger. Nurtured by a bitter past that equipped him with what he needed for his company to thrive, Marwan Accad never looks back. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet the way forward promises only uncertainty, and living each day is a lie in which corruption and greed play in the lives of man. For whose lie is he going through all of this? Even as Marwan races against time to find his pursuers and their motives, he must grapple with what is beyond his life, with what is eternal. This gripping story presents answers to the critics of Christianity and incorporates evidence for Christ, the reliability of Scripture, and the historical fact of the resurrection in a compelling format. "&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;You can also read the first chapter &lt;a href="http://www.josh.org/site/c.ddKDIMNtEqG/b.6098227/k.9D61/The_Witness.htm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I like the way the Mr. McDowell writes. There is no "shoving' of the Christain faith in this book, although it does make you think about things~ how you may be living your life, what is going on it in it, why you have or have not taken up a walk with Christ. Or at least it did with me! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is such a gripping book. Once I picked it up I was hardly able to place it down again! I am a fast reader so I was able to read this in about 3-4 days, but then again it could be because I was pretty much reading this book around the clock! I just had to know what was going to happen next!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this tale of murder and mayham&amp;nbsp;Marwan Accad is forced to go on the run, not just a hide out for a weekend type of thing. But on the run for everything he and his brother&amp;nbsp;have&amp;nbsp;worked for and for his very&amp;nbsp;life it's self. Along the way he meets a girl, and just like life is things start to grow between them. Problem is... does he give up the girl and deal with a broken heart and keep running? Or does he stay and put her and everything he has worked for on the line and in the line of fire....? Time is running out and the his pursuers are closing in on him, way to close for his liking. Can he get to the bottom of the whole thing? Can he find out why they want him dead with out it being his last wish? Can he find it all out before time runs out for him and they catch up....? And with all this going on he is also trying to come to grips with his faith!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Read this amazing novel to find out how everything ends up.&amp;nbsp;I proimise you will love every thrilling, nail bitting, twisting moment you encounter. I sure did! This is a novel that I will be reading again. And for me that is a big deal! There are hundards of books that I have sat down and&amp;nbsp; been lost in cover to cover but not many that I will re-read. Once I know the story reading it a second time just isn't all that wonderful to me, but Josh McDowell's &lt;em&gt;The Witness&lt;/em&gt; is one that I promise&amp;nbsp;I will be picking up again and re-reading all over... it's just that good!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It has been swamped here so I am way behind on the posting! I am soooo sorry!!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;:: hangs head in shame::&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Well I want to take a moment to say a &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: large;"&gt;BIG HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; to my not so little any more girl! I can't believe that she is 9 years old today!! She was soooooo excited when she got up this morning- 6 am I might add- holloring "happy birthday to me!!!" and waking Dad and Me up in the process. I can hardly believe that it's been this long already! There is no way that it was that long ago that I held her in my arms for the first time and looked in to those amazing blue eyes. We didn't have a party for her this year ( money is tight and no one really to invite- everyone is in another state!) so in the am we are taking her to the water park- Wet and Wild - and tonight we did cake and gifts. And a yummy cake it was if I say so my self! We made a triple chocolate two layer cake with chocolate pudding and fresh strawberries in the middle and instead of frosting we used whipped cream and piled on the fresh strawberries..... I am going to gain at least 15 pounds by the time we finish this cake! But like I said before it sure is YUMMMMMMMMY!! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope everyone is having a safe wonderful summer!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3483591264663079229-756148661538109788?l=thevisserclan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

And keeping the ants out has become kind of like a bad game here.... well with the new cereal storer from tupperware I no longer have to worry about 'extra' anything&amp;nbsp;in the cereal in the morning! Ever since I put our cereal in to the storer we have not had one single ant in it!! I am loving it!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The lid opening is nice and wide so even if you have more of a 'bulky' type cereal you shouldn't have any trouble pouring it out into your bowl. Something else that I have noticed is that the cereal seemed to stay fresh longer too, but this could be because my kids were more likely to close the lid on this then trying to close the box top on the box of cereal. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
