queenbee — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:15:41 GMT

Born at 4.19pm on November 18th, Jonathan weighed in at 10lb 9oz (4.8kg), measured 54cm+ (he was longer than the measure on the scales!) with a head circumference of 36.5cm. We went in to hospital at 3pm on Tuesday the 17th, and had a dose of gels put in at 7pm to soften my cervix. I was having mild contractions all night (I just thought they were my back aching!) and they broke my waters at about 8am Wednesday morning. They also took about 5 goes to get a drip in my arm... I'm bruised ...

News of an old member...

Elisabeth — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 00:29:27 GMT

Some of you older members may remember Lindsay from way-back-when (not Linz - a different one )...I can't remember her username (aren't I bad? ) but I know she went by Lindsers sometimes. Anyway, if you remember her, then you might like to know that on Facebook today, she has shown up as in a relationship! Here's the story in her own words: The old-time Lindsay wrote:...we met at church in June, started talking more last month, and have been getting to know each other a lot. He went to ...

ENGAGED!! (updated) | My sister is courting a guy! :-D

Elisabeth — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:46:54 GMT

I was going to post this in "I'm Thinking" because Thomas asked for it...but it's too long for there...so...here ya go. -------------------------------------------------- Thomas wrote:Elisabeth wrote:I'm thinking that my sister is now officially courting a young man...even without any matchmakers. Awww...please share the details! OK...so...my sister, around the age of 14 or so, first started showing signs of a disease that took about 6 ...

My love story.

Button — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:56:54 GMT

One day, I met this guy (alexander) in the park that I frequently hang out at. we talked for about 5 minutes then I went on my way. It happened to be free movie night at the parking garage and my friend devlin, my sister and my cousin were all going..we got to the parking garage and the movie happened to be on the very top ( well the one down from the top because it was raining.) I was about to go sit down and listen to the band that was opening for the movie. I decided to go back to the bottom ...

Ehem...May I make an announcement?

Aunt Sam — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 20:17:59 GMT

Yes, it is true...Dad is engaged! w00t! She has 4 kids which will give us a grand total of 15 chillins!

Possibly..I repeat POSSIBLY the beginning of mine!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:18:22 GMT

I can't believe I even just wrote that!!! I admit, I have been holding out on everyone here. I've been casually dating a long time friend for about two weeks (not J, the jerk..but an entirely different guy) and since we're not officially together but definitely not just hanging out, I was hesitant to announce it. All I know is that I'm really happy and pleased with everything so far..we have so much in common and seem to be on the same page spiritually. We ...

Jethro and Anna

queenbee — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:12:05 GMT

So I don't have much time to write their story, and not that I know that much of it, but I'm off to my brother-in-law's wedding this afternoon, and I can't wait!! I'll post more, plus pictures later, when I get home probably!

drumroll please!

queenbee — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:46:02 GMT

Ben and Alyce are proud to introduce our little Blueberry Muffin to the world The head is to the right, looking away from us. The oblong shape on top is his arm, and a leg is curled up at the left. We went in this morning, appt at 9am, and had a good 30-40mins looking at Muffin while the lady measured and photographed the spine, heart, legs, arms, etc. But she couldn't get a good look at the head - Muffin was too comfortable with the head stuck way down at the bottom! So I had ...

Tabetha and Steve

Anonymous — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:39:49 GMT

So... forgive me if I provide weird background. I promise there is a love story in here somewhere. Tabetha and I met our junior year of high school. We had the same home room and our lockers were two apart. She walked in late and everyone noticed her. She has cerebral palsy so she walks 'funny.' I never knew how to 'approach' people with disabilities so I kinda ignored her but when her locker wouldn't open, I just had to help her. A couple days later I noticed she was sitting by herself ...

Ben & Alyce's Life Story

queenbee — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:07:24 GMT

Well, as some guessed, the secret was that I was no longer on the Pill, as of January 1. And now?? Yes, Ben and I are expecting a little one November 6th, 2009 We went away over the weekend to Melbourne to celebrate Ben's final draft of his thesis/finishing up, and all week I was awaiting the monthly. Monday arrived, still nothing, but had been having cramps all weekend. Took a home test, and hey presto! Two little pink lines So I am 6 weeks pregnant, and ...

The Story of Timothy & Brittany's Betrothal

BrittanyM — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:55:51 GMT

Okay, here is my story with a few pictures inserted from our betrothal.... we wrote this and gave it out at one of my shower's since there was a lot of people that didn't understand why we did what we did. This is a short explanation of what betrothal is and why we chose it versus dating/engagement or courtship/engagement. Most importantly, neither dating or courtship are ever mentioned in the Bible. We have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and the Bible is His word; therefore, ...

My love story...

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:50:58 GMT

Once upon a time there was a girl named Maggie who prayed for a husband. [to be continued] Come on, people, we need more love stories! Either someone's not praying or not following God. Oops, that could be me. But seriously, we need some more old-fashioned love stories to make us girls sigh dreamily.

Ben and Amanda

Anonymous — Mon, 25 May 2009 19:29:44 GMT

Ok, so as promised, here are pictures from this past weekend, the wedding of Benjamin and Amanda Bacon. And the story that was not promised but will be provided nevertheless Ben and I have known eachother for nearly 7 years. We first met working at summer camp on the Word of Life Ranch back in June 2002. He was 14, I was 16. We became really really close in those eight weeks. When I first met him, he was sporting a thick British accent and told me his name was Monty and that ...

Joey and Mary

Anonymous — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:41:48 GMT

One of these days, I will be posting my story on here... until then, I delight in posting others. I just received an email from friends in Canada (see, Katy? I have friends everywhere). This family has six children. The oldest two, Mary and Elisabeth, are my age and were both single. Last March, Elisabeth was engaged to a young man from California, but the engagement broke in October, two months before their wedding. The day that engagement broke, another relationship bloomed. I will try ...

Rose's love story

EnglishRose — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:17:16 GMT

As promised... I'm going to go right back to the beginning, way before it all started, so that you can get a better picture of how it all worked out for the best. Well, picture me starting at uni...I had been home-schooled all the way, so was rather shy and didn't have a clue how to talk to men properly. Everyone said to me 'when you're at university you're bound to meet The One', so I was half-hopeful and half-uncertain. I certainly didn't find any gorgeous men in my first few weeks ...

My news!

EnglishRose — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:34:29 GMT

I will give you all the gossip later, but just to tell you girls that I got engaged today!!!!!!!!

I was thinking about this.

Mego — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 09:37:37 GMT

And I came up with some thoughts...about my own love life.
Having just passed Valentines Day wearing black, and having a crushed heart...but only because of myself, not because of the date I had...or what was thought to be a date...
I realized that I AM in a God-written love story, with God himself.
He is passionately persuing me. He is holding me in his arms. When I pray, "God, you have to keep me alive tonight!" he is there.
And that, is my story.

My love story-in-the-making

White Lily — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:02:39 GMT

I'm not sure how many of you saw my story on the old forum, so I'm going to type it up again here (so I won't have to keep clarifying things in random threads). Warning -- it's a little long. :p A teensy bit of back-background: my dad is a biology professor at a private university in Michigan. Our biology department has an affiliation with another private university in Washington state that has a marine biology field laboratory on the coast of WA (north of Seattle). This field station is ...

Song's side of the story

songoftherose — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 03:13:31 GMT

STATUS: FRIENDS I met Russ when I was 15. I was in 10th grade and my brother Kurt was a freshman in college.Russ was in his dorm. They were quickly becoming best friends. My family went down to visit Kurt in November for Thanksgiving (this was 2003). I met Russ and thought he was CRAZY!!! His hair was long (I don't know how he got away with it at Ambassador), he was wearing sandals (IN NOVEMBER!!) and he did crazy stuff like eating cookies right out of people's hands. But yeah, ...

BIG ANNOUNCMENT!

BrittanyM — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:08:37 GMT

The baby's birth news will be posted here! (BTW, this was Timothy's idea, he thought it would be funny )

Elisha and Nathan

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 02:34:03 GMT

So... I feel weird posting in here, yet again. I guess I am just at that stage in life where all of my friends are getting married. Actually, I am nearing the tail end of that stage and starting the whole 'we're having a baby!' stage. At any rate, let me tell you guys about Elisha and Nathan. First off, Elisha was a roommate of mine my first year of Bible school. At that time, she had a boyfriend. Within the first couple months of the school year, they broke up. It was one of the hardest ...

Ben & Alyce's Love Story

queenbee — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:33:39 GMT

Our very first meeting was late 2003, when his youth group and mine (from different churches) had a get-to-know-you night, as we were combining to attend a youth conference interstate in January ‘04. He was a youth group leader, but wasn’t attending the conference, and I was just a youth member. It wasn’t until soon after this conference, when my family moved to his church, that we saw each other again. I joined the youth group and for a year I went along. The next year, 2005, I joined ...

Abby and Andy

Anonymous — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:44:09 GMT

K, this one is for you Kris... I guess we just never get tired of hearing a good 'true' (as in not fairy tale) love story, huh? This is the story of Abby and Andy. I mentioned Abby in my story about Elisha and Nathan. Abby, Elisha and I were roommates. At any rate, I think a ton of you will identify with Abby's story. She went to Bible school not necessarily looking for a husband. In fact, she spent the first few months constantly banging her head on her desk (literally) saying, ...

Haha's side of the story

Most of you know this, but my sister, Alli, got married on the weekend I'll load some pics on here too, but for now, you can look at the ones I put on Facebook (they should be accessable even for those without a profile themselves) http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=37684&l=5e198&id=530138701

Jaimie and Chris

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:32:23 GMT

As promised the story of Jaimie and Chris. Jaimie's Side Jessica! I'd be happy to send you the entire story...well, it's not entire, I suppose. It only goes to the point when I knew I would marry Chris. However, I'm more than happy to share it; I pray it is an encouragement and a call to patience and hope! Funny, how God works in love. I met Chris through a young man I was enamored with in high school. During our first semester of college, he suggested I read Chris’s writings ...
