Our family . . . our fun!!

Have you ever thought of your family as the people you always want to have fun with??  Well, we are blessed with that on all sides of our families!  Here are a few more examples of enjoyable days for Donnie:

On Wednesday Donnie and I took Dad to the National Cemetery where my Mom is at rest.  Such a beautiful, respectful place.  We all miss her, especially Daddy.

When we came home, we went by Oviedo on the Park, where there is a memorial to the citizens of Oviedo that have served in the armed forces.  A dear friend of ours submitted Donnie’s information, and we found him on the wall there for the first time.  It was very honoring and special!

Saturday kicked off the weekend right with Sophia’s 3rd birthday celebration (Rachael’s 2nd child).  She is a character, and we all love her bunches!  A “FROZEN” birthday at a very hot Friendship Park . . . lol 🙂

After the party, off to Brandon to see the “Bros”.  Rodger has been planning a “MACK-ssacre” for a couple of months, and it finally got to happen.  I don’t even need to say anything . . . you can tell it was a BLAST for them!!  4 hours worth of blowing up the world with all that HEAT! #bestshootingdayeverwithmybrothers!!

Then, Sunday evening Lorraine (Donnie’s sister) graduated with her bachelor degree in theology. The Mac’s together again, including great food . . . there is always great food when we get together.  It’s part of who we are, right??!!

Donnie continues to gain strength, preparing for his surgery next week.  Please pray that there is no metastatic disease, and the tail of the pancreas is able to be removed.  God tells us to “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”  Matthew 7:7.  We pray, and accept God’s will for our lives.  We are so grateful for our precious family and friends that have prayed RELENTLESSLY for us.  You build us up and give us strength.

Love,  Donnie & Tina

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

Wonderful work! This is the type of information that should be shared across the internet. Disgrace on the seek engines for now not positioning this submit higher! Come on over and discuss with my web site . Thanks =)

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!

Someone essentially help to make severely posts I would state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and thus far? I surprised with the analysis you made to create this actual publish amazing. Wonderful job!

I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Superb work!

Having read this I thought it was really enlightening. I appreciate you taking the
time and energy to put this content together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!

Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to know so much
about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
I believe that you can do with some % to power the message home a bit, but instead of that,
that is great blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

Excellent post. I used to be checking continuously this weblog and I’m impressed!
Extremely useful info specially the ultimate section 🙂 I care for such info much.
I used to be seeking this particular info for a very lengthy time.
Thank you and best of luck.

Link exchange is nothing else except it is just placing the other
person’s web site link on your page at proper place and other person will also do similar in favor of
you.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be
a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

An impressive share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a
coworker who had been doing a little research on this.
And he actually ordered me dinner because I discovered it for him…
lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this topic here on your
web page.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like
this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward
to your new updates.

When I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on each time
a comment is added I receive four emails with the exact same comment.
There has to be a means you are able to remove me
from that service? Thank you!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest
writing a blog post or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as
yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i
was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments?
If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can advise?
I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

What i don’t realize is actually how you are
now not actually a lot more well-favored than you may be right now.
You’re very intelligent. You realize thus considerably relating to this subject, made me individually
believe it from numerous numerous angles. Its like men and women are not interested except it’s something to accomplish with Woman gaga!
Your own stuffs outstanding. At all times care for it up!

I have been browsing online more than 2 hours
today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.

It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Nice weblog here! Additionally your website a lot up fast!
What host are you the use of? Can I get your associate link for your host?
I desire my web site loaded up as quickly as yours lol

What a wonderful family and great times. So glad you are all having so much fun. Donnie sounds like he is doing great too, so happy for you all. God Bless

 

God is good all the time! So happy to see all the wonderful pictures and joyous celebrations of life!

That is so awesome about the Military Recognition for Donnie. I love it!

Question. Is the billboard still up there in Orlando/Oviedo of the ad for education with Donnie's picture? Just curious. I never took a picture of it, but should have. All these pictures reminded me of that.

My brother is so AWESOME! I love him dearly! ….everyone that knows him loves him!

Praying, Praying Praying for the 15th….Continued healing!

I love you both!

Sis 🙂

Me and Diana are so gratefull for your progress and your fun times with your family. We know it's the best fun of all. We will continue to keep you and the family in our prayers. We love you Donnie.

What a blessing to be surrounded by the love of your family! It's wonderful to see how Donnie has built his strength back up. Prayers for the best outcome next week. <3

Thanks for all the great pictures and happy news. Continuing to pray for you both and for the surgical team who will be operating next week!  I am so glad that you are surrounded by such a family and so many friends.  Much love!
