Random Thoughts... Can't Sleep Mode...
Hi there....
I am sitting here in the bed and can't sleep and I need to be up in like 7 hours if that... We have a very busy day ahead of us.. We have my lil cousin's 1st birthday party and my other cousin's baby tea... Then If I am up to it which I am not sure I am possibly going to my sister n law's MAW MAW'S memorial service.. Not sure about that one but you have to understand after 2 of huge events my emotions are probably going to be through the roof..
I went a couple of weeks ago to my first baby shower since losing Samuel.. I never got to have a shower/ tea for him and was so looking forward to that.. It is an adjustment for me and I believe for Brad also to have participated in anything.. Now we are venturing out.. It is going to be neat to go to Houston's 1st Birthday tomorrow. Since He was born just a lil over a month from Samuel.. It will be good and bittersweet I am sure...
So I don't know I am so tired but can not sleep.. So I thought if I could get all of my racing thoughts out and listen to some Praise and Worship music maybe then I will be ready to hop on into a deep sleep..
I don't know if I told you.. But we have found more lil' outfits and I have been meaning to post some pictures but just have not gotten to it.. Please know you can start following that side of thing at www.sosdrive.blogspot.com
We will start posting more there after Samuel's 1st birthday celebration. I want to thank everyone for continuing to pray and give to the us in this effort.. May God bless you back 10 fold...
I have been dreaming crazy stuff lately and usually my dreams come true but these are totally off the wall or from outer space. So pray that these dreams get in check.. I went through this sometime ago and I guess I am going to have to do devotions right before I lay my head down.. Isn't God's word a great Manual for our lives?!?!?!?! His word helps me our alot. I really know I would not be here today if it was not for HIM and HIM alone.. He picked me out of a messy messy life and said come unto me... Read Matthew 11:28... And granted it was one of the hardest things in my life I had to do but I know now that everything happens for a reason.. I grew up in church and went ot a private Christian High School but it only was memorize verses in my head nothing got into my heart till I went to Teen Challenge in 2005.. I was in Teen Challenge seemed like at the time the longest 22 months of my life but I know if I would not have went through that discipline and life changing experience I would not have been able to go through everything that I have been through with Brad since 2007.. We know that God is the ONE and ONLY that can bring change and wholeness if we allow HIM.. Thank YOU Brad for hanging in their with me through it all...
Marriage is hard and difficult and losing a child on top of it is like putting the icing on the cake but not sweet icing bitter icing.... We have our moments still but we push through it.. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy.. Our Lord and Savior has came to give us life and it abundantly.. Sorry I would give you references to this but I am listening to Praise and worship music and God is cleaning me out right now... Sorry if I jump around..LOL:)
Sometimes I wander what would life be like without Jesus?!?!?!? and I tell you I thought I had HIM in my life before but not like I have the last few years.. There is a difference in having Him in your life as a convience and having HIM apart of your life as a personal relationship.. Like Just now when I just thought I lost every bit of today's blog and I found it I was asking for HIS help and then Thanking HIM... It is AWESOME how HE is always there for us but we take it for granted...
Well, I am about to read the WORD and try to go to sleep..
May You each that read this have a blessed weekend...
Delight thyself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of thy heart.
Psalm 37:4

Just a little of what I have been up to the last 24 hours...
Okay I really hope that you can see the above pictures...lol.. Half the time I am wingin what i am doing on here.. It is me Tiffany.. Like all the other times...lol..
Last Night I cleaned and straightened up our house.. And I made up a SAM'S Club list as the Head of the HOUSEHOLD told me to do... Brad that is.. So we went to Sam's today and that is the result of me organizing our Pantry and overflow in the Garage!!! I Can thank me days at Teen Challenge for this one.. Our freezer is packed as well with meat.. We decided to get what we need first with our tax return and then maybe get one or two things that we want then the rest to pay off Samuel's and my medical bills.. Which really I don't see that coming to an end anytime soon. We have took out a loan and we are thinking that is not even going to be enough... So we wanted to make sure we had enough food for a while and that we can make it last as long as possible... God is so good isn't HE...
If I have not told yall.. We are having Christmas at our house this year with my mom's side of the family...So I am working on making it as Creative as possible so I am making homemade gifts and activities for us to do and do together.. I am excited that it is our turn but nervous all at the same time.. i am glad I have had over a year to plan.. SO we have got alot of good deals on activities to do with the kiddos..
Well... I also went to a few local businesses to see if they will be willing to help with Samuel's Birthday Celebration and they are hoping that district will let some of the businesses help out... God is so faithful and I know that the right amount of items will come in just in time and just enough for what the NICU needs..
Well, If you have Facebook you should be my friend me as is Tiffany Thompson Snyder is how I am listed.. I love Facebook and gathering and meeting people from my past as well as new people..
Well I am rambling on and on and on.. So I best go for now..
Please continue to pray for baby KAYLEIGH and PETER... God Bless..

SEEMINGLY A LONG WEEK....
HOWDY AGAIN!! IT HAS BEEN A WHILE!!!
I have tried getting on here a bogging several times but I seem to get distracted very easily.. DOG GONE IT... I believe the teachers told me when I was younger it is called ADD... LOL
Let's see....
I believe that I told yall about Dad being on the chair of Rutherford County March for Babies. Well, Thursday night we went to the Kick off for march for babies in April.. It will be at MTSU.. I will get more info on this casue we will be having Samuel's team once again this year. Which is extremely exciting.. We already have Tee-shirts made from last year but I am hoping to do something a lil' more creative.. Like I said. My cousin Angela set it up last year and she is setting it up this year so I will be getting more info to you soon.
Sorry I am apologizing now if I jump around so much.. My emotions haved been high and low alot lately and I am blogging to get all my thoughts out...
On Thursday, We went to Maternal Fetal Group... And mother nature was not a problem when we made the appointment. They have never had problems running ultrasounds and tests b4 but leave it to my body and me to be complicated once again like the rest of the procedures I have had that we are supposed to be going back with in the next 2 weeks.. I can not be normal.. It is just normal for me to hear that now.. Dr. Fortunado does not want to mislead any of us and he and the whole practice is determined to get to the bottom of this..
Also on Thursday we went to Target to get one of Brad's coworkers some baby gifts. Pray for this family.. They are the Blaylock's and the just had twin lil' boys with in the last month.. And It is a great adjustment and blessing at the same time. While we were there we got lil baby tees for 50 cents.. It is awesome finding sells/ clearances like this..
Yesterday we went to Cool Springs goofing around.. And we ordered a new reclining chair and couch set.. I can not wait till it comes in.. Our couch we like but we like to recline and we are moving our living room around soon and just making our house a home.. Our current couch we are going to sell.. It was purchased in 2006 for almost $600. We would like to get $300 for it or best offer.. If you know of anyone that needs a couch it is a khaki color. Just email us at: btsnyder@att.net.....
Yesterday, we went to supper with my mom, dad, and neices.. They are adorable.. I would ask you to pray for my sisternlaws family.. My sister in laws MAWMAW is on her last days but hanging in there.. It is sad cause my neice was praying last night for her at dinner and on the way back home to mom and dad's we were talking cause she had just got off the phone with Gretchen (mysisnlaw, her mommy) and was saying that the nurse was still there with mawmaw.. And so we had the discussion with Lizzy and I said honey we have already prayed for the Lord's will to be done and the Lord is going to take of her.. She says I know but Tiff she told me she loves me smile and never to lose it.. I said that is right and you can keep on smiling through it even thought it hurts cause that means so much to her. She said Tiff she will be able to join Uncle Mike in heaven and I said yeah guess who else... She looked up and down and grabbed my hands and tears started to come out of my eyes and I said she get to spend time with Samuel in heaven before us and then we were discussing all the people that had gone to heaven and she started to feel better.. But she will be 7 this year and Lizzy is so smart and I know since MAW MAW has been sick she has been at maw maw's house everyday with Gretchen helping take care of her. So this is gong to be a hard loss on her.. May God give this family strength through this time.
Also, My cousins sister n law Ann Hayley is having surgery for colon cancer on Monday.. This as well as happened so fast. Ann is married and has two sons that are still in school not sure if they are even in High School yet.. So please pray for this family as well.. This was found out with in this month.
As I have jumped all over the place and getting all this out I am starting to feel a bit better but my heart is grieving for these sweet families and the unknown that will be happening with my reproductive system.. I just praise God that he has brought us this far and I know that he is working behind the scenes for our good whether we can see it now or not.. We must fight the good fight and keep our faith in HIM..

I will also post your drive on my blog so others can know what you are doing and maybe help you that way. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

Howdy!
WOW!! It has been a while since we have posted last.. Life is moving right along though.
We are in the process of changing somethings around the house and I am ready for a change..
The pictures above are just a glimpse of treasures we got throughout the last week.. Anything baby that we are finding on CLEARANCE we are purchasing.. And it feels great.. I believe we are up to 70 total outfits/onesies now.. I am so excited.. God is so good.. I am still looking forward to see what else gets here.. I am just filling up Samuel's closet.. And Pray over all the clothes.. It is great.. We are taking Samuel's room and making it a sitting/study area.. And hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will change the living room around a lil' more.. I will try to post pictures after it is all completed..
Yes, we are going to leave our house up FOR SALE.. But we are just praying that God will send just the right family until then this should be our home and make it homey...
We went to the Dr. this past Thursday as well.. And please be praying for us and the medical staff. We are willing to do whatever it takes to try again but we just want to make sure we are able. Maternal Fetal Group is in the process of pulling my medical records and Samuel's to see what exact infection we were carrying. So that we don't go through this again the are trying to cover all the bases.. I am so very thankful that they are doing this.. We will going back this coming Thursday to have complete ultrasound and some other tests done depending on what our records show. So please be praying that God will give them and us wisdom on what to do and how to do it.
I am continuing to meet amazing people in everyday life and it is amazing how God orchestrates our lives everyday. May we continue to keep our eyes open and serve HIM throughout each day.
God Bless YOU all and Happy Valentine's DAY..

WELLLLL.....
WELLL... LET'S SEE HERE.....
WE ARE DOING FAIRLY WELL HERE...
I went to visit Dana and baby Landon last night and had a blast and a half...
It has been a while to get out and away from family.
Dana, her mother in law Jackie and her friend Sue tried to teach me a card game.. It was funny.. It was like rummie/ phase 10... I had a really hard time picking it up but am so thankful for their patience and love..
Landon was born premature and I met his cousin in the NICU when Samuel was in there so I have gotten pretty parcial to this whole family. They are all doing well and was so blessed by them last night...
I do ask for you to pray for the family cause Dana and Laura's grandfather passed away this morning and so grieving is hard to do right now with Laura on bed rest and Dana still can not get Landon out and about...
Update:
We still have not recieved any clothes except what we have purchased and we are 2 months away.. So please keep this effort in your prayers. God Bless you.
Also, Maternal Fetal Group called today and we are going for the consultation Next Thursday(one week from tomorrow) to discuss what I hope is my final surgery... YEAH.. Please keep us in your prayers on this...
God bless you all...
I pray that each of you are having a blessed week..
WE ARE DOING FAIRLY WELL HERE...

It has been a while to get out and away from family.
Dana, her mother in law Jackie and her friend Sue tried to teach me a card game.. It was funny.. It was like rummie/ phase 10... I had a really hard time picking it up but am so thankful for their patience and love..
Landon was born premature and I met his cousin in the NICU when Samuel was in there so I have gotten pretty parcial to this whole family. They are all doing well and was so blessed by them last night...
I do ask for you to pray for the family cause Dana and Laura's grandfather passed away this morning and so grieving is hard to do right now with Laura on bed rest and Dana still can not get Landon out and about...
Update:
We still have not recieved any clothes except what we have purchased and we are 2 months away.. So please keep this effort in your prayers. God Bless you.
Also, Maternal Fetal Group called today and we are going for the consultation Next Thursday(one week from tomorrow) to discuss what I hope is my final surgery... YEAH.. Please keep us in your prayers on this...
God bless you all...
I pray that each of you are having a blessed week..

HBP, Potassium, and trip to the hospital
Okay, everything is going well here..
I finally figured out my headaches and dizzy spells.
High Blood pressure and my potassium levels were extremely low..
I guess this was a wake up call for me to get my body in ORDER.. What ever that means..
I did not realize the abnormalities that can come after having a baby. I believe that God is just trying to get me to get this body under control before this next surgery.. Talking about surgeries... This next one has been around the world to get a consultation so PATIENCE is kicking in or having to be kicked in.. I should have an appointment for the consultation by Wednesday.. I will be going to Maternal Fetal Group on this one.. EXCITING... They watched me during my pregnancy with Samuel and while I was in labor..
LOL..
Oh... My dad is taking the chairman position on the March of Dimes.. SO this is VERY VERY EXCITING for us...
Well, there is very lil news and some newsless news..
Love YOU all.. Take care and God BLESS..

Just Praying for Wisdom and For my Friends..
Howdy Yall..
Life is Life isn't it?!?!?!? God is really teaching me this as I learn who I can trust in life.
Let me tell you we can not always trust our hearts can we?!?!?
Let me try to briefly inform you. I was talked into helping start a group on face book for a church member tonight and at first once I got the email I was okay with it but the more I talked to this lady on the phone the more things were not adding up and I was feeling very uncomfortable. So while I was chilling out on the couch and after I had tried to get past what she had said that my pastor had said and done I just prayed and I was on facebook... I was just praying Lord please let Pastor or pastors wife get on please please... And what do you know a hour later there pastor was.. And I said can I ask you something and he said sure and once I started in on what it was he said let me have my wife call you. So needless to say my "sincerity got you highjacked" that is how pastor put it. So I got sucked in something that I felt was right at first and then it ended up being wrong.. I have got to start reading between the lines and listening to my spirit better. Sometimes when we help people we need to check their motives and our own. Is it SELFISH OR IS IT TRULY for God??????? Well, that is that story.... So any of you read carefully before you enter in something cause you may be mislead even by people you admire... And it hurts when it is done!!! BIG TIME!! But what do I always say GOD IS IN CONTROL.. And bet that He will shed light on things!!! BEWARE THE ENEMY CAN WORK THRU ANYONE TO DISTRACT YOU!
So for a funny story... On Monday Morning I was riding back home with Brad cause I had stayed with my Granny and there was one of those talk shows on talking about Obama.. (Of Course) What is new?!??!?!? Huh??? Well, I heard bills that he was passing and Brad said yeah you should have heard the one before you got in the car.. I said What was it about?? HE SAID FACEBOOK...(cause if you know me you know that i have became addicted to it)
And I said what about Facebook?!??!? He said OBAMA passed a law to where you can only update your facebook one time a day.. Well, he had me going for about 10 to 20 minutes almost the whole ride back to manchester from the Boro. And I said no if he can pass that kind of law then why hasn't he already passed a bill to OUTLAW ABORTIONS?!?!? I was PISSED.. needless to say.. Well, I finally made him tell me that he was joking but I told him that ain't even funny cause if it was true I was going to write OBAMA myself.
Well, That is all of the stories..
I do want to thank you for your prayers.
Prayer Requests:
Mrs. Donnie- (my mom's friend) ended up having inner ear instead of a mild stroke . That was such a blessing to find out. They did say that she had 2 light strokes before but not recent.
Baby Drayke- He passed away Monday Night. So please pray for his family and friends and the staff that became so close to him.
Laura and Mollie- They are both pregnant and have experienced premature births before. Please pray that they go full term with these pregnancies.
Just continue to pray for a successful turn out on clothing for these precious babies..
OH I almost forgot!!! Pray that my Dad will make the best decisions for him and his life right now. The March of Dimes asked him to be a CHAIRMAN on their board this year.. I really hope he does it since this is where my heart is but I also know that him and mom do own their own business as well. Who knows I just pray that he makes the decision for him. ( I told mom to tell him I would do it in a heart beat if I was in his position)
Well, Love you guys!! Pray all is well in your world!!

25 random things.. and thought I would share it here!!
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1. I want to thank Cindy for taggin me in this cause I really don't know if I can come up with 25 random things.... LOL.. THANKS CINDY!!
2. We are currently looking for a hypoallergenic dog right now. I want a small one but Brad says if he gets mad at it he might punt it like a football.. I really hope he is just kidding..
3. Our house has been on the market almost a month now with Rowland Prudential.
4. I don't like change. It seems that is all my life consists of though. So I guess I am just getting used to it.
5. I have attended Rockvale Elementary In Rockvale Tennesssee... K-2 and a few months of 4th. And I was queen one year.
6.I also atteneded Meadow Lane Elementary In Olathe,KS for 3rd grade.. We only lived in Olathe for 15 months..
7. I also lived in Independence, Kansas from 4th to 6th grades and Have managed to keep in touch with my friend Brianna ever since I moved away. We might have went like 1 yr and half without communicating at all. Which I think is amazing to stay in touch after all this time.
8. I live in Cataula, Ga as well. I attended Harris County Middle school and for High School I went to Calvary Christian School in Columbus, GA and that is where I graduated.
9. I grew up in church all my lifebut there were times that I did not want to go and even despised God. Until about 4 years ago I really rode the fence of living for HIM and/or NOT living for HIM. Now I just know it is not where we go to church or what religion/demonination we are; it is ALL ABOUT HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
10. I worked at Claire's Accessories for over 2 years and LOVED IT but I also met people who did not influence my life inthe Best of ways.
11. I have tried the worldly ways... Drinking, Smoking(Cigarettes and illegal grass), Sex, etc and know that there is NO HIGH LIKE THE MOST HIGH!! GOD the Father, GOD the SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT!
12. I am a proud Teen Challenge Graduate. I was a resident for 22 months.. I tell you THAT IS WHAT GOD USED TO CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER!!!
13. UMMM. I have been married over a year. And did not realize that marriage is so hard and is alot of work. But I am so thankful that I am sticking with it.
14. I have a son in heaven. His name is Samuel Owen Snyder and was born on April 10th, 2008 at 23 weeks and 6 days.. He was 1 pound 10 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long. He was definitely a miracle baby cause I was always told that I would never be able to have children. Now I am gonna have a surgery to help me go to full term. I should have the surgery by the end of FEBRURARY THIS YEAR Maybe March!! But we will wait a while still to have anymore.. Unless God has other plans.
15. I played softball and basketball growing up.. But once I moved to GA I just stuck with basketball cause GA was too hot for me to play outside.
16. When I was little and playing coach pitch.. my dad was our coach and I had a bee I think it was a sweat bee that got under my shirt and yes dad had to take my shirt off while I was out at 2nd base. THank God I did not get stung cause I am allergic. But that was undoubtedly one of the most embarrassing childhood moments that I had.
17. I am a daughter, grandaughter, sister, aunt, mom and wife.. I also try to be a good friend.. I was not always good at this growing up cause we moved around alot and it was hard making friends and leaving all the time. So if I never gave you the chance growing up or was rude to you I apologize now.. It was a defense mechanism.
18. I attend 2 churches right now but praying to find one closer to our house soon.I go to World Outreach cause it is where most of my fam goes and cause my uncle is the pastor.I also go with my Granny to Family Worship. Bro. Brian and Sis Darla has always been there for me before, during, and now with my life. Bro. Brian's Mom would even take me out for luchh a couple of time while I was in Teen Challenge.
19. I truly believe that opposties attract my husband is quiet spoken and I am a go getter and very outgoing.. I can thank my DADDY for this..
20. My mom and I have not always been the closest. But since I have got married and became a mom it all makes more sense to me now.. And we are closer than ever.. I love her so much!! And realize she is always right!!
21. I realize NOW that all our parents want for us is THE BEST and they will do whatever it take to help us get there.
22. I pray that I am living the way the Lord wants me to and that it is pleasing in HIS SIGHT.
23. I pray to have a ministry one day. NOT sure what it is going to be. But I am eager to see cause I know that is what we are all called to do.
24. I no longer have my gallbladder.. THANK GOD..
25. I absolutely love young and the Restless. I always watched it with mom growing up and it is my time to get away when it is on or I DVR it and take a moment out to watch it.
