So I know I haven't posted in a while and I'm sorry. Life has been very busy and at the end of the day I'm asking myself where all the time went. Well, not a lot has gone on classes are going well and work at the Fire Station is the same. Which is where Kadee and I just got back from, we are working out there to get ready for 2 yes 2 5K races in June. We agreed that we should start to train now so we do it rather than how we said we would last year and well, we haven't. It was nice to head out to the station and work out with my wife. I mean I got the best of both worlds, work out and spend time with my wife, We are a team just like any other married people. We fix dinner together, clean the house, eat or meals st the table together, so why not get in shape together. We both want 75 years of being together and are taking some steps to work towards it. We will both have count downs on for the start of the 5k's and will keep you all up to date on our progress. On a nother note, to explain the title of this post Kadee and I made a new blog. We will keep our old blogs with the website to get to our new blog. I hope you all enjoy and thanks for reading this one. WWW.The-Kidd-Family.blogspot.com

A Year In Review "07"

Well, well,well, where do I even start this. Oh how about last Jan.
Last Jan, Well other than the semester ending and then starting that was all that hap pend. I didnt have many plans for the new year sorry. Next up was Feb, I took 3 days and went with our States VBS team to North Carolina for Training. This was a blast, I got to meet a lot of new people and have a great photo show of in on myspace and my facebook.

Nothing BIG happened in March, like asking the Love of my life to marry me.( and she did say yes) After a great movie and time together well, I asked her and she said yes. After that not much happened other than the planning of the wedding and all the other details of that. Next up is the summer!!!!!!

Wow what do you do if you are in youth ministry in the summer. Camp, camp and, more camp. We took another group up to Bambi for summer camp, and I must say that I have never had such a great time. The kids did well(thanks to some work by Kadee and Jill to keep me from not sending them home) and we all grew as a group. after that, we came back and had a week off and I left for lil kids camp to teach a Drumming class. oh yea before all of this we had a youth and regular VBS. It wasnt until after the summer that my friends understood why Kadee and I wanted to get so much done for the wedding. Yea I had 4 whole weeks of 0 time. Next up was the fall.....

This fall my mom bought a new place on the southside, its nice you should see it. so in late Aug early Sept, we helped her move in and I moved in to her place. This was weird because it was the first time I have lived on my own. I had 2 project to get done before the wedding and a full load in school and the last thing I needed to do was tear a muscle in my shoulder. Yep 4 weeks before the wedding I sure did, and the best part was having it not being able to move until the Wed(3days before) our wedding. Still even in the midst of all of this going on, my friends and family,(my family big time) helped me a lot. I could not have gotten anything done in the house with out their help, so thank you again everyone for construction help, moving help, and whatever else I for got. So there I am in a surgeon's office wed waiting to hear if I was going to have to have surgery after my honeymoon. Then after all the test and grabbing and moving the Doc gave me the all clear with a crap load of restrictions.

Well now it was time for the big day. You can go to my 6 part series on the wedding to find out about it, but in a nut shell. Holy Crap baby you look hot, do you Ido, Do you, I do . Kiss man and wife, lets go eat and go on a cruise. After getting back well it was back to reality, a roof that leaked, a car that wouldnt run. And it just seems like in the 3 months we have been married that we havent had a week with out something going wrong. But Kadee and I have given or lives and marriage over to the LORD and so we trust and Know that He has our backs.

This year we got to have our first Thanksgiving, Christmas and, New years. We thank God for our great family and friends. They have helped us along in or time together and Hubbie and Wife.

So what does the future hold for the Kidds, God has moved us from Immanuel Baptist where I was the Minister of Students in a different direction of life. The time I had there and friends and Family I made will always be dear to my heart. I start the Emt Academy in a week and will be done with it in a semester rather than a year. I then hope to work full-time in the Fire/Ems area. Other than that, not a lot goes on with us, we are kinda boring. We get home from work and class and love to fix dinner together and the call it a night by 9-930.

Well thanks for seeing a year in review with us. I cant wait to see what huge things God does in and through us in "08" see you all later.

hello all

Why hello all, time for an update, I have school, home, and just life, so lets get started.

Well one more week and classes are done for the term and, I could not be any more happy!!!!!! I have enjoyed this term, but 16 credits was a bit much. I know of one class I will get a 4.0 in and the rest should be around 3.0 or 3.5, so Im not worried. It will just be nice to have time back. Next term I only have 14 credits so that wont be to bad because, they are all day classes. This means soon, very soon I will be done with school. This will stink because I enjoy the ministry that school has become, but I know that God will keep placing people in my life he wants me to meet.
Well as everyone knows it rained all weekend, and guess what. Our inside was totally dry, not one drop of water!!!!!Praise the Lord our cool God, the roof is done!!!!! It was nice to come home and not see our little drip,or have to dump out the water that collected in a pot. Our Christmas tree is up as well, I must say it is the bomb!! Kadee and I went and bought decorations for it and realized that we already had a crap ton of them. So we are going to put up all of them with lights and garline. It will be nice to sit on our new sofa and love seat and just look at it. Oh yea our new furnishings are here, yea!!!! I can now see some light at the end of the tunnel, it just seems like it has taken a year to get everything done, but it is almost there.

So last night Kadee and I finished dinner and were working around the house when we both just said we should call it a night and go to bed. This wouldnt be a problem except it was 8:30 at night, holy crap we are still in our twenties and going to bed at 9pm, oh well dont judge us we were tired. Other than that life is great, Im married to my best friend, I have great family and friends and everything I could want. Life is good, how about for you?

nothing new

sorry it has been so long where to start,
well classes are almost done for the term, even tho I like them it will be nice to have some free time to do nothing.(till next term but, im only doing 14 credits) I have made some great new friends this term and enjoy seeing them, but wont next term as much. thank God for the Internet!!!! Married life is great, but why would it change? People have the weirdest looks when They ask how we are and I say great, Only to look at them like they are weird when they see the look on my face when they say Oh yea that will change. I have a great wife, and no she doesnt have to crack the whip, or yell and nag. Im sorry if that is your view of marriage, but its not ours. We try to talk out everything and go from there, isnt that what should do? Our roof will be done this week and our new furnishings gets here friYEA!!!!!!!! we have sitting places now!!!!!!! so that is really it, sorry we really dont do much other than work/school, house work, church, every once n awhile see friends outside the other things we do. see ya for now.

we are ok

well it was brought to my attention that Kadee and I are not eating enough. Well I thank you for your concern but can say that we are eating just fine. I would have to say that a lot of the weight loss That we had was prob due to stress.(we didnt have a big event in Oct!)That and the fact that as I said in a post, it was uphill both ways and we walked everywhere. If you would like I can take pics of the 4 cuberds and fridge full of food. Besides one of the greatest joys in life now is siting down and eating dinner and other meals with my wife,(which we do EVERY night, even on my late nights from class) we are a family its just what we do. So to sum up is money tight sure who isnt it with, But we have been faithful to God and He hasnt let us down yet, nor will he. see ya later gaters

photos are up

hey everyone, Kadee helped me get the photos up. You can go to my MySpace and see them, or My Facebook. Just click on the pics prompt and go to Our Wedding and enjoy.

The Wedding Part 5

Well after much food, dance and time with friends and family it was time to leave. As my wife and I changed and said our good bye's, I still could not help but think that my wife and I were now on our way to a cruise ship. We arrived in Detroit around midnight and then were up bright and early at 4 to park the car and head to the airport. Waiting for the airplane I remember sitting by Kadee and thinking that we were finally going on vacation, no calls from the fire dept, sheriff office, work, nothing and, sorry everyone it was a great feeling. Now we land in NYC, what a great city that Kadee and I both have a heart for. This is where we got to have our first romantic breakfast at Mc d's, with a crap ton of luggage to kill time(3 hrs just to let you know) As the taxi pulled in to the dock yard, we saw 2 of the biggest ships we had ever seen. theses things were.......well floating citys, even though our ship wasnt as big it was still huge. The best part was when we arrived 2hrs early they let us in to check in and board the ship, now are room wasnt going to be ready till but, we had time to sit, eat and, explore the ship. now its time to go.

Leaving NYC the sky line was amazing, then we passed by Lady Liberty and it was on to open ocean. What a great sunny day to be out and see the coast line. By now we had gotten in our room and unpacked, and were ready for food.After eating we cough a movie and went to bed early. Day 2 was pretty uneventful, we got up around 12 cleaned up and hit the ship. We found out where all the restaurants were, found the stage, and main areas were, and all the pools, hot tubes were. Day three we awoke to be in St. George, this was a nice little town. After eating on the ship, we took off to see the sites. Now I must say there were amazing things we saw, but dude it was up hill both ways for real. Heading to a beach we came across the unfinished church. it was a church started in the 1800s and never finished due to weather and a church split.(go figure) we then hit up St. Cathrine's beach and milked every moment there. It was a great day, 80 sunny and the water was wow. around 3 or so after many hrs in the sun we headed to a place to eat and then headed back up hill to the ship for the night. We decided to clean up and go to a sit down place to eat this night, so we did. waiting in line I so hoped we were sat with cool people and boy did God come through. We met 2 other couples and had dinner with them, they were nice and talked with us for a while. then after they left we had a group of New England Ladies sit down and wow. You talk about all things stereotype they were, their poop didnt stink and they wanted nothing to do with us, so we finished and left. That night we then went and cough one of the live shows and called it a night.

The next day we awoke to be in the capital city of Hamilton. We now were in all things urban, it was like being in a small NYC. The only difference was how nice the people of Bermuda were. Day one of 2 here Kadee and I spent walking around and we spent the best 20 dollars of our life's. We bought bus and ferry passes, we could now go ANYWHERE on the island and didnt have to walk.(yea) We then went to a lil garden right in town and mapped out the next day, which was well you will see. Heading back to the ship, we couldnt help but wish we could meet the cool people again, and we so did. We were right in back of them in line and they wanted to eat with us. Yea we had cool people to eat with, no more mean people. Dinner was great, we sat around talking about life, and each other and the decided to change and all meet and catch the show that night. After that it was time to hit up the midnight buffet!!!!!!!

Day 2 in Hamilton was packed, we hit up a Botanical Garden that puts anything I had been in to shame. It was huge, Kadee and I spent almost 2.5 hrs in it and didnt see it all.(sorry we did this day 1 my bad) Next we decided to head to the east side of the Island to the Museum, aquarium, and zoo for awhile. They had an amazing zoo/aquarium, we saw everything from snakes, to alligators, all kinds of birds, seals and, a crap load of fish. what a great time, after this we cough a bus back into town(30min ride) to head 30 min to the west to horseshoe bay beach. This was an amazing sight, the sand was pink the water was blue, and my wife looked so hot, could you ask for anything else in life? We spent three of the best hrs so far in our married life there. The waves were huge and knocked us over at times. Although we didnt get to many photos of it with the digital, we bought and underwater camera and got some cool photos ill have to scan and get up that way. We then headed back to the boat to go to a new restaurant without the cool people, it was called Chopsticks.(can you guess what they served?) It was ok, we'll just say that room servise was called that night. We then called it a night, man were we whipped after a long day.

The last day we got up early and headed out into town to buy t-shirts and what nots before the ship left around 12. We had a nice lunch and layed out for a while before heading down to our room to clean up and meet our cool new friends for dinner and a show. Dinner and the show were fun, we then sat around and talked then called it a night. we then git up and layed out again but, only for a little while because it was time for the chocolate buffet. Imagine walking into a room to the sight and smell of 750lbs of pure goodness in front of you. Holy crap is all I can say 2 plate fulls we headed up to a deck and sat and eat a lot. wHAT A GREAT TIME. The next day We awoke to the end of a storm and 25-30 foot waves, we'll just say that Kadee stayed in bed for a while. Walking around the ship I decided I would go outside, wow was this different. walking up to the bow of the ship the wind almost knocked me over, im not the smallest person in the world but still had to hold on or hit the ground. In the process of walking I happend to look over at the monster wake we would make and saw a pod of 15-20 dolphins playing in the waves. Isnt it like God to in the midst of a crappy day to still find away to make you smile and show how cool he is. We then had our last meal with our cool friends this night and went to our last show, in the morn would be NYC and a huge layover at JFK.

Heading back to the airport in the taxi it was weird to not be in the water. when we arrived around 11 at the airport we killed 5hrs by reading and watching football on the tv. Before we new it we were in the air and in Detroit, then at our car and on the road to our home. Arriving at home we were thrown back to reality, work a leaking roof, and the washer almost catching on fire. Man isnt God good, the following 4 days after getting back we had every reason to fight. But we just prayed, and leaned on God for our strength, held hands and together pushed right through all the problems we had. This has to be the best part of being married, having a best friend to be with you in good times and bad to help you through them. I hope you have enjoyed a look into our wedding and trip to Bermuda. I will try to get the pics up soon, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them.
