<p>I told Lauren that I am writing this blog and she told me that she is writing one, too! I&#8217;ll be heading over there shortly to check it out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my roommates sisters got married yesterday and we were all invited to the wedding.  It was absolutely beautiful and was simply a great wedding.  One of the things that made it so wonderful was the <a href="http://www.favorsbyserendipity.com" target="_blank">wedding favors</a> they gave out.  Everyone went home with a memento of the day for each of us to remember the celebration of these two wonderful people being joined in holy matrimony.  I have never been to a wedding where they gave out favors like that.</p>
<p>When you attend a wedding, you are there to celebrate two lives being joined.  Sure you have pictures you can look at and your own personal memories but wedding favors give you something tangible you can hold on to that makes you feel like a part of the celebration.  I had to know where the bride got these wonderful favors so that if and when I get married, I will surely have them at my wedding too.  There are a wide variety of favors you can purchase and give to the guests.</p>
<p>If you have a fall wedding, they offer favors by season, by theme if you choose a theme type wedding and you can even get coasters with a picture of the bride in her amazing dress to take home too.  How special is that and she found them all online?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have just signed up for Yoga classes.  I used to do Yoga when I was in college and just sort of forgot about it when I started working.  Now I have made a commitment to get back into it.  I really needed to find <a href="http://www.coupontrunk.com/coupon-codes/yogaaccessories/" target="_blank">Yoga Accessories discount coupons</a> so I could afford what I needed better and I found it.  You know I love a bargain.</p>
<p>Then one of my friends just had a baby and still needed some things for the new baby so I searched out <a href="http://www.coupontrunk.com/coupon-codes/landofnod/" target="_blank">Land of Nod discount coupons</a> and found the stroller that she wanted at a discount.   The Internet is such a great place to find bargains.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well my father is 78 today.  I&#8217;m so glad that I still have him because he has had 7 heart attacks already and is still kicking.  I can&#8217;t help but to worry if and/or when he has another one, that might be the last one.  But I&#8217;m not worrying about all of that.  I&#8217;m just going to enjoy him while he&#8217;s still with us.  Besides, God isn&#8217;t going to take him until it&#8217;s his time to go and there&#8217;s nothing anyone can do to stop it when it&#8217;s his turn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess knowing that I work in an office with a lot of lawyers and other business men made my neighbor think I would know more about <a href="http://www.advantagetermlife.com/" target="_blank">life insurance</a> than I do.  I know there is a lot of different types of life insurance out there but I honestly didn&#8217;t know that much about them.  I had to do a little research to help them out.</p>
<p>I found out that there is <a href="http://www.advantagetermlife.com/smoker.php" target="_blank">life insurance for smokers</a>, which both of them do.  They have to tell the insurance company things like that, which I had no idea.  But what I really think they were looking for was <a href="http://www.advantagetermlife.com/mortgage.php" target="_blank">mortgage insurance coverage</a>.   I&#8217;m pretty sure what started them to thinking about that was one of our neighbors husbands passed away and they didn&#8217;t have mortgage insurance.  The lady was forced to sell her home because she couldn&#8217;t afford the monthly payments.  One thing I learned was just how important life insurance is and how affordable it is too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A friend of mine has been a smoker since high school.  She&#8217;s tried to quit several but has only been able to &#8217;stop&#8217; for awhile.  In fact, she stopped for 7 months once and could kick her own rear for starting back up.  She is concerned about her health because after all, we all know the horror stories of smoking.  I just don&#8217;t want to see that happen to her at all.  She has a couple of young children and a husband that loves her so she needs to be around for a long time yet.</p>
<p>She found something that just might work for her this time.  It&#8217;s an <a href="http://www.cigarti.com" target="_blank">electric cigarette</a>.  They look and feel like a regular cigarette but way less harmful to you than a traditional tobacco cigarette.  There&#8217;s no tar, and carcinogens like there are with tobacco cigarettes.  Yes you still get the nicotine but you are also inhaling a clean water vapor that even looks and feels like a tobacco cigarette.  Oh and you can actually &#8217;smoke&#8217; them in non-smoking restaurants and public places because they&#8217;re not really &#8217;smoking&#8217;.  If she must smoke, I would much rather see her with these than a tobacco cigarette and the price is cheaper now too so she&#8217;s not only helping her health, but also saving some of  her hard earned money too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t you just hate to spend all of that money on Rx eyeglasses.  I sure do.  I need a pair to see and also a pair of Rx sunglasses.  I have allergies so contacts aren&#8217;t an option.  However I have found the perfect answer for me and possibly you too.  All you have to do is check out <a href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php">eyeglasses</a> online and I promise you that you will be so very glad you did.  Believe it or not but you can even get Rx eyeglasses for as low as $8 a pair.  Can you believe that?  And get this, they&#8217;re not ugly either.  They&#8217;re actually very stylish.</p>
<p>I can have a pair to go with several different outfits if I want at these prices.  In fact, I could even change my eyeglasses with my mood and you know how us ladies can change our mood on the drop of a dime.  There&#8217;s even a couple of children in our neighborhood that wear eyeglasses and their father lost his job about 7 months ago.  I might offer to buy them each a new pair of eyeglasses for back to school.  That&#8217;s what&#8217;s so awesome about this site, it allows you to be able to afford eyeglasses for others that can&#8217;t afford them.  I love that.  What do you think about these?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-795 aligncenter" title="glasses" src="http://nikkifontaine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/glasses-300x101.jpg" alt="glasses" width="300" height="101" /></p>

<p>The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box &#8216;fund food for animals for free&#8217;. This doesn&#8217;t cost you a thing.</p>
<p>Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the web site! Please pass it along to people you know. </span></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My mother sent me this and it really touched my heart.  I hope it touches yours too.  No I am not one that is in church every time the doors swing open.  My mother taught me that Jesus didn&#8217;t only preach in a building called a &#8216;church&#8217;, that anywhere there are two people speaking of the Lords word, you are in church.  My mother is a smart lady.</p>
<p>AFTER A DAY OF CONTEMPLATION AND SOUL SEARCHING, I HAVE DECIDED TO REACH OUT TO MY FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN TROUBLING ME FOR A LONG TIME.  OUR NATION IS/HAS BEEN ON THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO HELL FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU WILL FIND CORRUPTION, GREED, MORAL DECAY AND A STEADY MOVE AWAY FROM THE THINGS THAT MADE US GREAT. THE PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED ARE NO LONGER OUR BACKBONE.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, WE CAN REVERSE THIS TREND.</p>
<p>IN GOD&#8217;S WORD HE STATES,&#8221;IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND HEAL THEIR LAND.&#8221;  I AM CONVINCED THAT WE MUST PRAY FOR OUR NATION AND ITS LEADERS AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. SO I ASK YOU TO JOIN ME IN THIS PLEA TO OUR LORD.</p>
<p>ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO PRAY EVERYDAY. IF YOU DO AND THEY COMPLY, WE WILL LIFT UP MILLIONS OF PRAYERS A DAY TO OUR CREATOR. HE WILL HEAR US AND IN FAITH WILL ANSWER.</p>
<p><strong>Let me just add a quote from Ronald Reagan &#8211; </strong></p>
<blockquote><p>If we ever forget that we&#8217;re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.</p></blockquote>
<p>I truly believe this is why the United States of America is in the shape we are in today. Most people have forgotten that we are<strong> ONE NATION UNDER GOD!</strong> Let us as Christians stand up and remind people of this. ~ Have a Blessed Day</p>
