WHY NOT!!!

Well after all these years i have finally given in!!! i started a blog!!! I had not been wanting to join in but since my daughter is getting married June 20, 2009, i figured why not write how i am feeling!!! well to start off i am happyand sad! for the past 18 years i have always regretted the fact that i considered having an abortion when i found out i was pregnant! i am ashamed to admit i had considered this option but at the age of 16, i thought that was my only option!!! man was i wrong!!! i look at my beautiful daughter and i get so upset with myself. now i know i didn't go through with it but i have lived with the guilt all these years!!! Diana Nicole is such a blessing to me and has been there for me through my both surgeries, she has been there when i was sick, and has helped me out ALOT!!!!

Well before I go on let me tell you a little bit about myself (for those of you who don't know me!) I have been married for 18 years to John Yanez and have 2 kids---Diana Nicole (17 years old) and John Yanez Jr. (13 years old). My husband is an independent fundamental baptist preacher. He got saved August of 1998 and he surrendered to God's call! We were living in Harlingen Texas where i was born and raised but 3 years ago, September 2005 he accepted a church in Abbeville La., where he pastored a church for over a year---and then God moved us to Jennings La where he is the associate pastor at Calvary Baptist Church. We have lived in Jennings for over a year now.
well enough about me and now to the reason i started this blog!!! Diana and Todd met in church and Diana has always had a crush on him but was not sure if she had a chance with Todd because of his age!!! you see Diana is 17 and Todd is 22! Todd would mess with Diana by pulling her hair and pick on her and i knew he liked her but he would not tell her anything but he finally got enough nerve on May 11, 2008 to ask my husband if he could court my daughter-and my husband gave him permission to ask her and after church he asked my daughter and she said yes!!! well they had been courting for 7 months and on December 1, 2008 he proposed to our daughter and of course she said YES!!! we love Todd and know that he will be a great provider for her. since he has proposed we have started planning for the BIG day!!! we are all excited and can't wait!!! well i guess this is all for now i have so much to write but i think i will save it for later---next post i will give you details about the wedding---maybe!!!
