JLB...No Compromise!

Here at JLB we believe in hard work and dedication. Those who lack these qualities...regardless of work experience and even family relations will NOT be tolerated.

What you are about to see is based on a true story, real people, real situations, real feelings, real emotions and real hair color.

Curse of the Digital Camera

Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I take pictures with my digital camera thinking "Yeah! I'm a good person...look at me taking all these wonderful family photos...capturing the Kodak moments as they happen" then what??

The camera FOOLS me!

Once I load them to the computer I experience a strong sense of accomplishment and think to myself "it is finished". Oh, but it is far from finished!! I look around my house at the bare walls and empty picture frames (which I keep out on display to mock me) hoping such a sight would stir me to print the pictures...but no...it doesn't...all because of the curse!

The curse says: "you don't have time, you don't know which wall to put them on so you shouldn't even try" or my favorite "you took those pictures last year and you don't even have the same hair color!!" That one ends with a mocking evil laugh "ha ha ha ha!"

Well TODAY I will break the curse! I am going to print off some Damiens' family photos we took last November...that's right- almost 10 months ago. My hair has changed colors at least 4 times since then...but I'm not going to let that stop me!!

Next time any of you come to visit I will be able to show you ALL the members of our family.

However, if all else fails, I can always throw the camera away and save myself from guilt.

"If my baby looks half as good as I do he or she will certainly be a model"

Happy Birthday Johnathon!

Happy Birthday my love!!

Today you turn 27 and I have been blessed beyond measure to have spent the last 4+ years with you. Johnathon, you have made my life full of love, lots and lots of laughter, adventure, and a companionship that could not be replaced with another!

You are my true love. I am constantly in awe of you and the man you are. You have become unwavering in your pursuit of Jesus, you are a rock and stronghold when I need it most, and a loving and gentle spirit at just the right times.

Everyday you confirm the love that Christ has towards His church through the way you cherish and love me "Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church..." and you make it look so easy!

Johnathon, I love you more than words could possibly explain! God gave me a double portion when He gave me you and I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams a man as good as you. I can't wait to see what He does next through you...Happy Birthday...I love you.
