About MeDan and Stephanie met in January of 2000 while attending SBU. As they got to know each other they started dating. In January 2002, Dan purposed to Stephanie asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes and the story begins. August 10th, 2002, Dan and Stephanie were married in font of a large gathering of family, friends, and church members at First Baptist Church in Warrensburg Mo. For their Honeymoon they were blessed to go on a seven day cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman Island and Ocho Rios Jamaica. On March 22nd, 2004 Dan and Stephanie became parents to Josiah. When Josiah was a baby, he was very passive and seemed to pick things up pretty quickly. On May 13th, 2007 Mothers Day, Dan and Stephanie became parents again to Jackson. Jackson is our miracle baby. Born with Morganella, and now dealing with random seizures that the neurologist says he should grow out of when he’s 3 or 4. This has kept us on our knees, and we believe that God has a special plan for him. The Gould’s are currently in transition from Plano TX, where Dan served Grace Community Church as the Studentu0026hellip;

A Christ Follower[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxfaMqBsPKYu0026amp;hl=en_USu0026amp;fs=1u0026amp;] I am thrilled that you’ve checked out his blog and this page for that matter. I want to take just a moment and share with you about the most important decision you could ever make! Because this is so important, I have dedicated this page to explain how you can have a relationship with God. Here are some basics to get you started thinking about making a life-changing decision for Jesus Christ: 1. God created us because He LOVES us and wants us to ENJOY a personal relationship with Him. “Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our union with Christ . . . because of His love, God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His children – this was God’s pleasure and purpose.” Ephesians 1:4-5 2. HOWEVER, there is a problem! You see, God is perfect, and we are imperfect! The Bible calls this imperfection “SIN.”* Our sin separates us from God, and it results in a consequence. That consequence is eternal separation from God.** The only way for us to enjoy a relationship with God is for us to be perfect ourselves–but nobody isu0026hellip;

Tractor Rides, The Farm, Christmas Gifts, B-Day Cake

One of the things that has become a tradition for Josiah when we visit Nana and Papa’s house is to go on a tractor ride with Papa. Today, he got to do that; and boy was he excited. Also one of the things that has become a tradition for all of us now has been going to the farm and having Great Papa give us a ride behind his big tractor.

Today we did things a little different! Instead of being pulled behind a tractor, we just piled in the back of Great Papa’s pickup and went for a ride through the farm. Both boys had so much fun and Stephanie’s Grandfather loves to do it. We saw cows, drove through the creek, went past the old barn, and saw more cows. Doesn’t sound like much, but the fact that the family was all together and the boys loved it, made it so worth it!!! To top it off, the weather wasn’t to bad either, it has been colder!!!

Afterward, we all came back to the house for some good ole BBQ Pork Steak!!!! It was so good! The night was capped off with Christmas Gifts for the boys. Nana and Papa said, since this is the only time we will all be together lets do it tonight. However, Nana said something about coming to Texas over Christmas. After the opening of gifts, we celebrated Rachel’s Birthday with an Ice Cream B-Day Cake. It was sooooo good, and I don’t even like ice cream that much!

Today was a lot of fun. Here are some pics of our adventure.
