EDIT – This is an update from Mark:I saw the doc yesterday about my eyes, and he wants to do an “enhancement” surgery to correct my vision. But before he does that he gave me some contacts to wear that will replicate the vision after the surgery so we can see if it will help....

Wow I just left you a long message on here and lost it. Anyways I am sorry about Mark’s eyes and I hope the contacts work so he doesn’t have to go through surgery! I have class tomorrow, so I won’t be able to venture out there. It is our last meeting before Yosemite. We will have a fun and full day of shooting on Sunday though. I need to bribe Andrew to take his senior pictures out there and maybe you guys can help me. It’s so crazy…….he graduates in May and we don’t have any pics yet. I want to send out announcements like I did for Cherina. Do you notice what time I am on here? It’s 2:49 a.m. (like in the morning). I am still on my night shift schedule. What kind of tripod did you get? and where? I have a super heavy Bogen/Manfrotto tripod, but it’s so heavy for me to carry around. I am looking for a new one.
Kerri it looks like you are still up! We need sleep! Anyways I enlarged the collages, thanks and they look better to me.
AM SO TICKLED ABOUT THE SCHOOL PICTURES, ((KERRI))!!!
AND WILL PRAY ABOUT MARK’S EYES.
LOVE, CHERYL
Bless his heart….that would bum me out too! But I have faith that they will straighten it out soon and he’ll be seeing clearly through the lens of life! You guys have a great time doing the school pictures today….I know they will be great…as usual!
Have a blessed day!

Father God, through the stripes of our Lord Jesus we are healed, so please do apply this to Mark’s eyes. He needs to see clearly for his work and for his life. We know you are the great healer, and that you designed the eyes, so you know what to do — please also guide the doctors if there is surgery, so they get it perfect. Thank you, we love you, Lord, in Jesus name. Amen.
Love to both of you! Gerrie (I’m off to the hospital in 30 minutes)
“Father God, I lift Mark before you and I ask you to heal his eyes Lord.
Thank You for being the one true living God who still heals. We love you Jesus, Amen.”

Hey guys…As always, I am so excited about the opportunitites God has given you to use the gifts He blessed you with! It is such a joy to journey with you via xanga…And I am definitely praying for you, Mark. It is so evident that our Lord’s hand is upon you–that His grace has touched you…And through each trial, HE has equipped you with a deeper sense of who HE is, and yes, HE has fitted you with divine sight to walk through the mists that surround your path. I am so blessed to have met you guys–though not face-to-face, but in the spiritual realm as brothers and sisters in Christ. Yep, His love bridges any distance! Thanks for allowing His love to flow freely through your lives…With much love and many prayers, Paula–click here–
Oh I’m so unhappy that you’re not seeing as well as you should Mark! I’ll be praying for you. And yeah, it would be great to see you two if you come up to Auburn for Brian’s practices! Kerri, we do sing Camptown Races here, but only on Groundhog Day.
You know, it’s just a Mayberry thing to do. Love ya’ll….Kelly May
Hey, wonder why your having trouble with my site? Uhm…..
Praying for Marks sight…Heavenly Father, touch your son and bring healing to his eyes Lord God…give him your peace knowing that You are incontrol!
Wish you could come to my kids school and do pictures! They would come out awesome!
Sounds like some very interesting & fun projects coming your way! Can’t wait to see the results. Mark, I’m praying even now that your sight will become clear again. God bless you both! :-) Loving prayers . . . Carolyn
wow what a neat Job to get!!! and I will be praying for marks eyes!! your right a photographer needs his eyes!!!
Yes I got a new camera in February I think is when I got it……..it is a Kodak Z740. It is a small digital camera, but I can buy lenses and filters for it and I love that. It is an easyshare camera so it is like my first step up from a plane jane camera. I only paid $300. for it. But I like the freedom of being able to change the colors of the pics…sepia, b&w, natural and others……….to 10X zooming. It is so fun! Well, Flory is off this morning learning GOLF………PRAY!! lol. My brother has talked him into learning. I just cant see how chasing a little white ball around for 5 hours can be so much fun. I think it is more fun because of the MALE BONDING thing. And Flory needs that……..he has had me 24/7 for over a month. I love him to pieces, but you know…….a girl’s gotta have her time to stay sane! Anyway, Have an awesome weekend. Love you…….Kimi
sorry I couldnt help but laugh at somewhere along the day a contact popped out and wasnt noticed!! so hey I do think that my site was messing up, there is no way that you wouldnt be on my protected list. But you know what? I am in the process of changing my subs over to a new site so why dont ya go here from now on ok? good_strong_coffee that is gonna start being my main one. love ya!!!
Praying for your eyes, you already have had such a miracle so this one is in order, too.
Thanks to you both for being a visual blessing here on the internet.
Hi kerri I am glad to hear about mark’s eyes. I know God will see both of you through this and that mark will be whole and complete.well have a wonderful weekend.
Donald
Continuing to lift both of you up to the Father! Also–would you stop by my site and read the request I have posted…Please join me in praying for my daughter tonight (7 CST, 5PST)…Love ya, Paula
Kerri, thanks for your comments concerning my dear daughter…I didn’t realize Lindsey danced?!!! How exciting! I will be anxious to hear about her recital! And yes, I always get nervous for her! Of course, I pray a lot, for my true desire is that our Lord always be glorified through her. Her music has brought much joy to my life! With much love and many prayers, paula

I have a similar problem with one of my subs. When I go to their page, I automatically get transferred to another web page called Putfile. But I noticed that it only happens with Safari, and not Foxfire, so you may want to use a different browser.

RYC – A lot of people have had trouble with Explorer. You might want to try Mozilla Firefox. Just google it and follow instructions.
I’m thinking it’s a glitch in Xanga because a lot of people have had that problem with different sites and it all started at the same time.
Have a blessed day!
Michele
I am having the same problem. I was going to ask you to tell bizzymommy4 I can’t get on her site with that same problem.
It appears that ACTIVE X has been making it take longer to get onto some sites… usually those with music & lots of extra “stuff” — but I’ve gotten on . . . & it seems that as it does, I get a loud noise from the site — kind of like a door slamming.
I’m having the same problem. It comes and goes and seems to choose different sites at random.
LOL……..I wonder why all of a sudden it is doing that to you? I have not done anything wrong I promise. I have pics up. Maybe it is because of that. I dont know. Well, you are missing great pics. Maybe I need to unload some pics to make it easier to get there. I dont know. I will unload the music, maybe that will help. Loves to ya………Kimi
Oh I DESPISE that pop-up! ![]()
Try x-ing out instead of hitting ok. If you find out how to fix this, please let me know.
It’s doing it to alot of sites I read, ![]()
(((((( HUGS ))))))
Lori{v}
have you contacted xanga on this?? I encountered it with my daughters site, but when I clicked ok it was fine. I thought it was just cuz of something she had running on her site, I am pretty sure thats a java script program?? you could check your security settings to make sure you can view pages with java or script?? Well keep us posted!!
just wanted to let you know that i just went to my daughters site and paid more attention this time and I think her activex box is associated with her music on her site???
Huh, on my brother’s site… interesting. I’ll tell him about it. No problem… you know we love you guys.

p.s.- isn’t this Shelby Mustang just so, so…. BOSS!!!

My friend Kathy invited me over to her place yesterday….she has a creek that runs along the back of her yard with trails that stretches in both directions east and west of her place for about a mile each way. Right now there is tall grass and things are blooming everywhere…Kathy knows Lindsay and I...

Thank you for sharing, I love hearing about your family! God bless you all in this adventure! in Him, Gerrie
So glad to hear everything is going so good for you and your family!
Have a blessed day!
Michele
Hey you busy girl! Great hearing from you. I pray you are able to find out what has been bugging you with your health! Pray God is incontrol! I’m loving the pictures!!!!! Adorable!
You think YOU”RE sad to lose Joel…..
It’s only ten days away….*sigh* He probably told you about Larry the drum teacher in Auburn. He was Joel’s intructor and HE ROCKS!! He isn’t a Christian, but he is such a nice guy and a great drummer. The only problem would be that Brian would have to go to Encore Music to take the lessons. But hopefully, you can find someone local so it will be easier for you. I am so enjoying this weather! I’ve been out in my yard pulling weeds and just basking in the sunlight…..ahhhhh spring!! Love ya! {v}
I love photography. GREAT WORK!!
I love to take pictures, but I think I have a long way to go before I can be considered a real photographer.
Thank you for stopping by my site and offering up a prayer for William’s situation and for me, too. I thank God for you, Kerri, and all my brothers and sisters here on Xanga. Praise God for gathering some of His children here. in Him, Gerrie
just love this new site very well done I also love the photography also very happy for both of you about your business. God is so good wonderful when you know that is hand is in all of this. I also love the pictures God Bless you and your family and thank you for the kindness you have always shown me.

I wasn’t able to view the slide show – the computer shut it off…I’ll come back and try again. ~Carolyn ^^^she’s a cutie.
Carolyn (and others…)
I had some problems with that earlier today. Not sure what the bug is, but I tried it a few times and then it worked.
I’m waiting to get some feedback from the program technicians on this.
Mark
Happy Easter to you all, Kerri thank you for your comment! Love always, Gerrie
AWESOME SLIDE SLOW! I loved it. It was more than just a family portrait sitting. It had a mood for me and good choice in music. Happy Easter to you guys, I just came home from working all night and now I have to sleep but I am going to try and get up early since I don’t go back in tonight.
