This is FUNNY!

This story and picture recently showed up on a friend's blog. It's just too funny not to share. (Thanks Brea!)

So, her friend had a little going away party for a gal in their office. They called Wal-mart to order the cake. This is what they wanted on the cake:

"Best Wishes Suzanne" and underneath that write "We will miss you"

This is what they got:

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

It's Friday....and you know what that means!

WATCH -- The Next Great American Band
7:00 pm CST
FOX (Channel 6 for Nashville Comcast)

.....and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! (Vote a million times!!!!!)

Blessings on you and the band tonight, Denver. We'll see where this path leads one week at a time!

Thank you God for the opportunity to bring you GLORY through music! It doesn't matter if we are on a stage in front of millions of people, working in an office, or changing diapers. We all have the opportunity to serve you, magnify you, and glorify you with our lives!

When it rains....it pours!

IT'S RAINING!! Really ..... there is wet stuff falling from the sky. And, it's been doing this for almost 2 whole days! It's a big deal around here. As you've probably heard, the southeast is really struggling with a major drought right now. To have wet grass, gray skies, and the occasional sprint to my car ('cause you don't want to get soaked) is actually nice!

What wasn't nice was our morning at the Bierman home! Again.....when it rains, it POURS! Denver has been gone for a while now, and things have been going smoothly. I've felt pretty good and Boston (2 1/2 years old) has been very cooperative. That is....until this morning. We had a haircut scheduled for 9:00 am and then a quick trip to Wal-mart for a cookie and visit with our fish friends in the fish tanks. (Boston loves to go see the fish!) After driving through Chick-fil-a, we arrive a few minutes late to our appointment. He freaks out....I mean FREAKS out! There I am (rather plump at the moment) with a flailing child. I'm sure I appeared to be a mean, maniac mom ... so we left and went home. No cookie. No fish! At home, B-man goes to his room - CRYING! I then discover that Bloo (our cat) had eaten some of the flowers Denver sent me and thrown up all over a chair and the floor. Okay....so I clean that up and take out the trash. While walking past my car, I hear a hissing sound. I lean down and it's coming from the tire area. UGH! So......I walk back inside and have a meltdown myself!

What a morning. So after a few tears, prayers, and phone calls to Denver and my mom......I gathered myself and re-united with my sweet little boy. We ended up eating our Chick-fil-a for lunch and, after further examination, my tire is okay!

Isn't it amazing that what seems so important (a haircut) and overwhelming (cat puke and leaky tire) in one intense moment is really not the catastrophe it appears to be. I'm so thankful for my God, family, and friends that help me refocus when I am not seeing with 20/20 vision!

FYI ... it's just sprinkling outside now. Kind of symbolic, huh?

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2

Baby Update

I went to the Dr. this morning for my last check-up. Looks like we're still on schedule for our little lady to be born next Monday, Oct. 29. (I am showing no signs that she's ready to escape my body!) I should be in surgery by 8:00 am. Please pray for an uneventful delivery and easy recovery!

Denver will be flying in Sunday night, with me on Monday for the delivery, and then will fly back to L.A. on the 30th to continue his work on the The Next Great American Band (assuming they don't get voted off the first week). Pray for him . . . . it's gonna be super hard on him to leave us!!!

Ned Flanders . . .WHAT???

My man does not look like Ned Flanders! (But it was a funny comment!)

Ten Years

October 19, 1997

O'Charley's restaurant.

Denver and Amy's first date.

Thank you for ten years, Denver. Love YOU!


(I drove b/c he didn't have a car! Denver didn't have a car until my dad sold him a 1980 Dodge Aspen for $1.00! Denver's car was more yellow/tan.)

What did you think?

So, what did you think of the show? I'd love to hear your comments!

Sigh of Relief

FINALLY, the premier of The Next Great American Band! We can finally talk about this part of our life!!! This has been a journey of MANY months, and we're so excited to see where the "votes" lead. Actually, we know that this entire thing rests in God's hands . . . so we can wait to see where the Lord takes DMHO and our family over the next several weeks!

Now that you know they ARE in the final 12 to compete on the show, I'll be able to share stories of how God's hand is in all this. The first story comes from the beginning when Denver sent in the audition tape. We didn't hear anything from the show until the LAST day producers were making their choices of who got an audition and who didn't. Not only did they get an audition, they were sent straight through to the Las Vegas auditions (seen tonight). WOW! God obviously wants them on the show!

Denver and the guys are now in L.A. preparing for the 1st show. Please pray for the guys! I'll try to post specific prayer requests in the few days!

By the way, check out the DMHO fan club web site.

Thanks for watching tonight!!!!!
