Lots of love always!

Stephanie Ridge notices Sandy Mayabb: My mom was the most beautiful mother-of-the-bride this weekend. She started my married life off with a bang! She thought through every last detail leading up to the big day. She remained calm when I need her to be. She gave her blessing on my new life as a wife. And best of all, she gave me away to my amazing guy! Thank you mom! You'll always be my best friend.

Elizabeth McCurry notices Jayne McCurry: I could not ask for a more loving mother. Thank you for always being there when I needed you and even the times when I didn't. I love you!

Shannon notices Aimie: I am proud of my sister Aimie. She is very smart and such a kind person. She worked her way through college and I know that must've been very difficult. She earned her degree and now has a good job. She is marrying her high school sweetheart next month and I know she is happier than she has ever been. She has always influenced me to follow my dreams.

Shannon notices Kimie: I am so proud of my youngest sister Kimie. She is a general manager of a large hotel. She is always get rewards and accolades for her hard work. She is a very hard worker. I hope she knows how proud I am of her.

Shannon notices Andrew: Andrew is my husband and the father of my two baby boys. He is loving and kind and thoughtful. He surprised me on our wedding day with a beautiful wedding band set, but more than that, he always does little things. For example, he will bring home a pint of ice cream out of the blue for me or my favorite soda water. He cooks almost every night and always puts thought into it to make it something I will love. He provides for our family and is a good man. My boys love him with all their heart and their eyes light up when he comes home every day. He is cordial and kind to strangers and can get along with anyone. He can hold an hour long conversation with any random person he encounters.

Taylor Rew notices Elissa Edwards: Elissa is AMAZING because every morning she sends me and a group of wonderful girls an email telling us she's praying for us! She includes Bible verses from her morning quiet time and tells us what's been on her heart! She tells us how the Lord has been working in her life and just reminds us to live daily for HIM. It's so encouraging and a wonderful way to start the day- I look forward to her email every morning- Elissa NOTICES her sisters in Christ and selflessly offers her time to promotes fellowship through the ultimate NOTICER, Jesus Christ!

Jo Ebbert notices Andy Andrews: Andy, I noticed Andy a few years ago while flipping through the channels trying to find something to take my mind off of what was troubling me. I stopped at a public television presentation of Andy speaking about the 7 Decisions. It was one of those times when you are certain God lead you directly to what you needed. The words you spoke are etched in my mind and heart . I have shared your messages and stories with so many people and seen the impact it has had them. People I love have been lifted up off the floor and put back on a path that leads away from despair and toward true hope and joy because you wrote so beautifully about life. I feel like I know you and while I doubt we'll meet in this life, I am sincerely looking forward to meeting you in Heaven. Keep up the excellent work God has called you to do, he notices and so do I. Jo Ebbert

Greg notices Shannan: Shannan was very instrumental in my life in helping me discover what career was really best for my abilities. She saw things in me that I didnt see and she was patient in helping me discover those talents. I am lucky to have called her my boss, but even luckier to call her my freind!

April 7, 2009 @ 3:21 PM

Kelly Buck notices Mary Jane and Steven: Mary Jane and Steven are my in-laws, but truly they have become more then that. They are another set of parents in my life, friends and amazing grandparents to my children. They are constantly giving of themselves and their resources to bless us as a family. They spend countless hours a week loving on and laughing with their grandchildren and are willing to give up every one of their Friday nights to babysit the kids so my husband and I can go on a date night. We can always count on their emotional support when we announce to them our latest adventure, no matter how crazy it originally sounds. I am so thankful for their generosity, support, creativity and servant hearted love. It is so wonderful to be a recipient of all those things not only from them, but from their wonderful son who carried those values he has seen modeled for years into our marriage. Thank you Steven and Mary Jane.

April 7, 2009 @ 3:16 PM

Kelly Buck notices Rusty Buck: Rusty is my husband of almost 6 years, and friend of almost 9. I can truly say he is both my best friend and my biggest fan. He encourages me daily to be the woman he knows I was created to be, and he serves me and our children daily. He puts our needs above his own and does not let other people or circumstances alter his priorities of loving God and family. I am so proud to be his wife and so proud that he is the father of my children. I am thankful for each morning I get to wake up beside him and each night that he tucks me in before he goes into his office to study for medical school. Thank you Rusty for your integrity, strong character and love. I love you.

April 7, 2009 @ 3:07 PM

Shannon notices Lanelle: Lanelle is my mother-in-law. She is the kindest mother-in-law anyone could want. She is loving, caring, kind and complimentary (which makes my day more than she knows). She is a Christian woman and a prayer warrior. She is my boy's grandmother and they love her with all their heart. When I see the light in my oldest's eyes and his huge smile and gleeful leg kick and arm wave when he sees her, my heart just melts. I am so glad that they decided to move closer to use when our oldest son was born. Today also happens to be her birthday! Happy birthday! Thank you for everything.

April 7, 2009 @ 1:13 PM

Shannon notices Mari: Mari is the mom of quadruplets and is an amazing Christian mother. Every time I see her with her children I see what a wonderful mother and person she is. I know motherhood sometimes seems like a thankless job but I wanted to let Mari know that she doesn't go unnoticed. Her kids were born premature but are extremely smart and well adjusted. You'd never know they were preemies. She blogs about them and makes such a wonderful online baby book for them that I know they will appreciate when they are grown. I thoroughly enjoy watching the videos she puts together. There is a reason God entrusted these four angels to Mari and her husband (who is also a wonderful person).

April 7, 2009 @ 1:08 PM

Andie M. notices Mrs. Glenda Byars: I now consider her a friend. Not just any kind of friend, the kind of friend who mentored me to become the person I am today, who was an example of the kind of person I would one day strive to be. I am still striving to be as good a woman as Mrs. Glenda Byars, my high school English and Creative Writing teacher. Not that I personally turned out to be a wonderfully creative writer mind you, but she was my most favorite teacher of all time, and an exemplary one. She is a genuinely warm, loving, good hearted and Christian woman. She was an encouraging teacher, gently nudging you to open your mind, to stretch the limits of your creativity and to reach your potential. I have always kept in touch; long after school was over, sharing with her tidbits of the stories of my life. She and my parents saw each often as I grew to be an adult, with a life of my own, a marriage, a career, then finally having a family, and my Mom always made sure to tell me that Mrs. Byars asked about me and how I was doing. My heart warms to think of her. As I was completing college and contemplating what to do with my Home Ec degree she was, along with two other of my high school teachers, a moving force in my decision to become a teacher. Ultimately, it wasn't what I was meant to be when I "grew" up, but now she is working as a librarian, and I work in a public library as well, so I am still following her path. She writes a column in the local newspaper back home, and I read it faithfully online, and am tickled to death when she remembers my parent's anniversary and writes about it every year. I love you, Mrs. Byars and you are an amazing woman, whom I am extremely proud to know and have in my life. To say that you have been one of the most influential people in my life hardly begins to say anything, but it’s a start.

Denise L notices Teresa W - Penny D- Sherie M & Angi G: Denise L holds Teresa W - Penny D- Sherie M & Angi G in HIGH regard. These 4 ladies have spirits of Gold. They each have a jeweled heart with so much love and compassion to share with the world. Their deep characters range from angels to gypsies to queens. They all four bring such wisdom, courage and hope to what really matters. It is just not enough to say thanks for the love. Keep being real Girls.

April 7, 2009 @ 12:47 PM

Pam Caddell notices Phil Caddell: What can you say about a man that fills your heart with love and laughter. When I met you fourteen years ago, I knew something was different when I saw your face. You lit up the room and had the most genuine smile I had ever seen. These years have been a journey for me where I have gotten to know who I am as a person and I can thank you for that. You love me unconditionally and for that I will be eternally grateful. You are the most intelligent man I know, outside of my father, and you can keep a room in laughter with your wit. I feel my most comfortable when I am with you and I look forward to spending many more years with you. The true sense of a man is when he shares his emotions with you over the loss of a beloved pet. Losing Heidi, was the hardest thing for me but only you could understand my feelings. I love you with all my heart, now and forever.

April 7, 2009 @ 12:34 PM

Kelly Marikian notices Holly Battaglia: My sister, Holly, has been one of the most influential people in my life. Growing up with her by my side, she taught me patience, understanding and what being a friend is truly about. She has always inspired me to be a better person, to always be a leader and to try and do good things. Holly taught me from an early age to see two sides to every story, so that I could make the best decision for me. She doesn't realize was a truly great person she is and how much she has done. Today she is a busy mom teaching her kids the same things she taught me. My sister doesn't know that without her in my life as a role model, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thank you and I love you!

April 7, 2009 @ 12:17 PM

Michael Casallo notices Ciindy Nelson: Cindy Nelson is the closest thing to a perfect woman that I have ever encountered. I truly wish that my daughter grows up to be a woman like Cindy, her selflessness and gentle disposition show others the difference that Christ can make in your life if you allow Him to. I wish the best for Cindy, for her family, and for her life. I look forward to the amazing things that Christ has and will do through Cindy Nelson.

April 7, 2009 @ 12:00 PM

Michael Casallo notices Teddy Owens: Teddy is the type of friend that I wish everyone has. I have never met anyone in my life who invests so much of themselves into others asking nothing in return simply hoping to see them succeed. Teddy, though younger than myself, teaches me a lot about who I want to be and provides an example of what a real friend is. He is an amazing man and I wish for him an equally amazing life!

April 7, 2009 @ 11:49 AM

Michael Casallo notices Dr. Jim Connors: My definition of a great teacher is one who causes you to consider changing your major to their discipline. Dr. Connors, by virtue of his charisma and dynamic teaching, is doing just this. Recently I met a young lady for the first time, she is a South Alabama student, when I expressed my amazement with a Geology teacher she immediately said "You are talking about Dr. Connors!" Dr. Connors is a great man who inspires and challenges his students while providing a "real" person to interact with. Keep up the great work Dr. Connors!

April 7, 2009 @ 11:44 AM

Michael Casallo notices Dr. Harold Pardue: Dr. Pardue personifies the phrase "great teacher". I had the honor of taking a few classes with this great man and am so thankful for the experience. Dr. Pardue not only provides education for his students, he seeks to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to see his students succeed. He is the only man I have ever known who taught himself a foreign language for intention of better communication with our international students. Dr. Pardue is a great teacher and man and I hope to one day become the educator that he is.

April 7, 2009 @ 11:39 AM

Michael Casallo notices Leo Denton: If it was not for Dr. Denton I would have never earned my undergraduate or my masters degree from the University of South Alabama; Dr. Denton is not only a great teacher and mentor, he is a great friend. I count myself lucky to know Dr. Denton, he has impacted my life in ways that he may never know.

April 7, 2009 @ 11:35 AM

Katharine G. Grimm notices Jeremy A. Grimm: Well, what can I say about you my love? You have touched parts of my soul that no one else has been able to. You have healed my heart when I thought it was impossible. You never gave up on me or us. You are an incredible man of God and I count my blessings daily for being given such a gift in you. Thank you for giving me my two beautiful daughters, my home, my life. You are amazingly wonderful and I love you with all of my heart and being. I look forward to not only spending the rest of my life with you, but all of eternity. I love you, your wife.

April 7, 2009 @ 11:10 AM

Katharine G. Grimm notices Leesa Hughes: Leesa Hughes has been a major influence in my life for the past 9 years. As with all relationships we have had our ups and downs, however, she has poured so much truth, love and wisdom into my own life it is overwhelming. It is a comfort to know that no matter what life may bring us, I not only have a true friend, sister and mentor in Leesa, I have someone I can trust wholeheartedly. She has never given up on me, even though I wanted to give up on myself. No matter what she may be going through, she always has an encouraging word to say. And whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and someone to laugh with, she has always been there and I know she will continue to be. To say that she loves unconditionally and unselfishly is an incredible understatement. To know Leesa, is to know what love truly is.

April 7, 2009 @ 11:04 AM

Stephanie Newton notices Sharon Ordway: I hope there are others in the world as fortunate as I to have an aunt like my Aunt Sharon. Even though I am now 28, I can still remember how special she made me feel when I was little and still does now. I know that for the rest of my life I will have an advocate for my dreams, a companion in my defeats, and a calming voice when filled with worry. I love you Aunt Sharon. I hope I can be like you when I grow up. Love, Stuffy

April 7, 2009 @ 10:53 AM

Tommy Eaker notices Priscilla Eaker: God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, best friend and spiritual guide. You have been there for me and our sons through many hard times and have always stayed strong and looked to God for help. Your kind giving nature is a gift to all who know you and you truly make our world a better place.

April 7, 2009 @ 10:23 AM

Shelly Burns notices Deborah H.: I posted this on my blog today. My former principal - Deborah Harbin: I am a better teacher and person because of you. You are the epitome of a great principal: friend, teacher, confidant, cheerleader, and many more. I learned so much teaching under your supervision. You let me be creative and do what I felt was right for kids. Anytime I've needed advice, help, a letter of reference, you name it, you've been there, ready, willing, and more than able to help me out. I never thought I wanted to get my Masters in Educational Leadership, but you continued to encourage me. Now that I have accomplished that, I strive for that next step on the career ladder of education. To work under you again would be a dream come true; to one day be half the principal you are, is what I'll strive to do. Thank you for everything!

April 7, 2009 @ 8:05 AM

Shelly Burns notices Carol A.: I posted this on my blog today. My dear friend - Carol: It is fitting that you should come after my mom, because in a way, you are like a second mom to me. You are my best friend and I'm so glad that you are a part of my life. You have impacted me in ways that you may never know. I admire so much your horsemanship, hopefully I can learn some of it from you real soon. I admire your grit, you don't let others get to you, even if they shut you out. You just keep going, holding your head high, refusing to let them get you down. I admire your love for family, even the adopted kind like me and Willie. I admire your devotion to your animals, no animals are loved or treated better than yours. Thank you for taking me in, being my friend, and loving me. It means the world!

April 7, 2009 @ 8:04 AM

Shelly Burns notices Cindy Lyon: My mom - Cindy: I am the woman I am today, because of you. You molded me from the womb and did your best to teach me right from wrong. So much of what I do today, is because of what you did as I grew up. There are days that I do something and say, "I'm turning into my mother." But that's not a bad thing because my mother is an incredible person. You have made such a difference in my life and continue to do so everyday. I'm so proud of how hard you've worked the past two years to lose weight and take better care of yourself. You look amazing!!

April 7, 2009 @ 8:02 AM

Marie notices Sandy G: I am noticing you today, and thanking you for being a positive force in my life. My mother. She has shown me that strength, perserverance and love are qualities that will make me a better person, and mother. She has always weathered the storm with grace and I applaud her for making her own decisions and showing me that it is all right to do so. I love you, Mom.

April 6, 2009 @ 5:59 PM

Marie notices Nancy: This is also posted on my blog. I notice you as being a postive person in my world: My Aunt Nancy. Of course this is my mom's little sister, because the fortitude and independence runs in the family (please may it drip this way)! My Aunt Nancy has always been there for me emotionally whenever I needed her to be. Growing up she always put a lot of thought into our Christmas gifts as well, which seems shallow to mention but I do so in efforts to show how thoughtful she was even back then. Fast forward a few years and she still has been very generous with me when the needy time came, and I will never forget the gestures she made to me, even when I was miles away. I know that if I called her right now and told her I needed something, she would help me in any way she could. It is such a comfort to know that even though we may be far apart and do not visit often enough, that her love for me never wavers. She has also told me her opinions when I was going in the wrong direction and has helped me to overcome certain obstacles. (Oh yeah and I had my first wedding reception at her house too.. which was the only good thing out of that marriage!) Thanks, Aunt Nancy!

April 6, 2009 @ 5:58 PM

MARIE notices Mary Corso: This is posted on my blog. My best friend, Mary Through thick and thin this girl has stood beside me. We were the M&M Twins in High School, dressing alike and always hanging out together. She was one of the few positive things in my life when things seemed so bad.. and she was always encouraging and patient even though I was probably a bit insane at times. She put up with a lot to be my friend and I will always be glad to have spent such wonderful years with her. The only regret is that we are now 1500 miles apart. She needs to come boot stomping in Texas! Also, my best friend Mary's Mom, Marilyn Along with Mary, there was always her mom. She was kind and open-hearted and always willing to share her home with me. She even did my laundry for me! She cooked meals for me, she drove me to work, and she cared about me. Having her in my life when I felt that all grown-ups were against was a wonderful thing to have. I will also never forget the love and faith that she had in me, regardless for me being a reckless teenager. I have always termed Marilyn as my second mom.
