One year ago today...

...was just the beginning...

...of happily ever after!

Adventures in Wyoming!

This week we've had the delight of having two of my sisters visit us! It's been so special, and what a great blessing to just 'be together'! Here's just a snipit of some of our fun happenings. Enjoy!

God's beautiful creation...
"Hold on, we're coming!!!"

The only bear we've seen, and it wants to take my arm off! Lol!

Having fun in the C-O-L-D mountain stream...

Um...caught in the act! ;)

Happy smiles!

"I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." Ps.104:33

"My Sister, My Friend"

I am blessed! Why?

Because I have sisters...and not just any sister.

But the very BESTEST sisters in the whole world!

She's not just my sister; she's my friend--ever!!!

Special thanks to Elizabeth U. for snapping these precious pictures for us. We appreciate it!

One year ago today...

...the most WONDERFUL MAN...

...in ALL the WORLD...

...asked ME, to marry HIM!!!

"The LORD your God in your midst,

The Mighty One, will save;

He will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will quiet you with His love,

He will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever

your hand finds to do,

do it

with your might...

Talking to My Man...

... Oh! How I love him!! He's the BEST!!!

(This picture was from a year ago this time! Such fun, wonderful memories--so special!;)

Winter Love...

Take my

hand,

Take my

whole life too,

For

I can't help,

falling in love

with

YOU!

Thank you, Bethany, for all the pictures...and wonderful memories!!

True forgiveness--

And be kind to one another,

tenderhearted,

forgiving one another,

even as God in Christ

forgave you.

Eph.4:32

"How completely you have forgiven,

is more important than

how deeply you hurt."

Jerry E. Tobias

What sacrifice...

How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

Thank you to Bethany, for the picture!

Announcing the...

...NEW LOOK...

Yes! It's finally here! The new look, and the new name! Can you believe it?! For real! We atually landed our new look!!

Although it was thought about to pull a prank being it was April 1st, we decided you'd all been waiting long enough, so we'd delay no longer, and arrive on time! Thank you for your patience!

We'd love any signals you'd like to send to our control tower...letting us know if we're flying straight and level! lol! Also known as comments as to what you think of it all!

Date set for 'NEW LOOK'!

Just wanted to inform all you "PATIENT" blog readers, that my goal (providing no break-downs!) for the 'New Look' is April 1, 2009! The navigational delays we encountered were not planned on, and thus we did not arrive on schedule as planned!! Hopefully though it'll be up and running here shortly?! ;)



Also, while you're waiting, I thought maybe you'd enjoy a picture from about 1 year ago?!? It was actually one year ago today, that I (officially) found out that Josiah wanted to pursue a realtionship with me! :) Oh! Such special, joyous memories!! We serve a faithful GOD!

Thank you for your patient waiting, and stay tuned for the upcoming flight...I mean look! lol!

The Bestest Husband!!

Happy Birthday, to the most WONDERFUL husband,

in the WHOLE world!!!

Thank you for how you so faithfully, tenderly, and lovingly care for my heart--I am SO cherished! You're the bestest husband, any woman could ever have!! Happy birthday, with all the love in my heart!!!

"Who gave Himself for us,

that He might redeem us from every lawless deed

and purify for Himself His own special people,

zealous for good works."

Titus 2:14

Thank you, my man, for having a heart tender toward the LORD, and being ZEALOUS for Him! I am the most blessed woman there is!!

A life lived for His glory!

It is with heavy hearts that we come to this post. Our hearts go out to Josh, in the lose of his precious wife, Alaina, as well as to his family, and Alaina's family.

In such a great tragedy we must turn to our Savior, and His word. Psalm 62:8 has calmed our hearts as we've wrestled through this great lose; "Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."

Alaina, is in heaven, worshiping and rejoicing around His throne, and though we mourn here, we must take comfort in the promises of God's word. He is our anchor and stay!

We'll miss you, Alaina! You're contagious, loving, Godly life lived for His glory will not be forgotten! Our prayers are with you, Josh, your family, and Alaina's family! May God's presence enfold you in this time, and the days to come! We love you!!

"For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?"

1 Thess. 2:19

Check back SOON!!

Hello to you faithful blog readers/followers who are still with me!?!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience, forbearance, perseverance, and understanding as I've much delayed in getting the 'new look' and 'new name' up and running on our blog! The computer is home for a bit(I think!:), and I'm really hoping to RELEASE our 'new look' and 'new name' within the next week!!

So please hang on to this flight just a tad bit longer..... for I'm hoping to land it here VERY, VERY SOON!:) (actually, I'm not the best at landing--so I'll have to find the pilot! lol)

Yes, it's still coming...

Hello, to all you blog readers! Thank you for your array of comments...suggestions...and opinions...WOW! We had no clue there were so many blog 'lurkers' out there on our blog!

So, hopefully you're all still bearing with me?! Around here, things in the hanger have been pretty busy! But, I've not forgotten, and as soon as some of it comes in for a landing here, we'll have this NEW blog up and running for your viewing! ;o)

Oh, and by the way, now that all you 'lurkers' have shown your face...just 2 comments on a post should be un-heard of!!! (grin) Don't y'all agree??!!

New Years Contest!

So with a New Year dawning, and with us being newly married. We thought we'd take a

SURVEY

from all of you, for a NEW look, and a NEW name to this our blog!!:)

You see...we need your help! We've decided that since this blog now entails the both of us, we need a merged name and look! (smile)

Thus, we're calling on you! The only guidelines are this--

1. It must refer to both of us in the title/name, or have the Wissmann name in it!

2. It must have something to do with aviation/flying in the name of the blog as well!

3. Have fun...be creative...help us out...and then be watching for the NEW face of Josiah and Abi, on this NEW blog!!

Who knows--your creative name--just might be our NEW blog name! Go ALL out! *grin*

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Just a thought...

"An unnoticed life 

that is lived for others, 

is more important 

than a highly visible life, 

that is lived for self."
