First off, so sorry for the delay. With the end of school approaching and the husband being on tour I have been a bit overwhelmed and most of the times just crash and veg at night. I really want to finish my story so I guess I need to post more than once a month!!!We left off at this dude walking into Mac's house. There were a group of us watching a movie after a long day at the "day camp"

Ok so we last left off at me realizing that at some point in life I would be marrying someone famous. PLEASE, don't think cocky of me, I am sharing all of this to say that it has taken me approx. 30 years to realize that this "vision" or whatever you want to describe it as, had a point. I am NOT by any means stating that Mark is uber famous. I will state that he is quasi famous. When you go

I remember the day like it was yesterday. Sometimes I think it was something that I imagined because seriously, how could what I had dreamed become a reality. Let's set the scene. I was 7 or 8, have always been a fan of all things tennis and I had a Jimmy Conners poster on my wall (I always liked him over McEnroe, but hey!!!). I also had this really cute puppy poster that I had just scored

I am quite proud of myself. I have done 2 things today that I have never done before. They were pretty simple, but still, it's fun to push yourself. I have decided that I should start making dinner more for my family. Isn't that like the first step into becoming a better wife and mom?? So I got on my friends food blog and was reading and one of her posts made me want to make this soup. So,

Ok, I know it has been about FOREVER, since I updated my blog. Did I have my second kid in my last post??? I really have no idea. With the increasing popularity of Twitter (@stephanietlee) and Facebook it has been easier just updating those and letting the thinking part of my brain kill this here blog. You know we live in a quick and easy world. That is what I feel these other social platforms

It's all the rage on Facebook, but in case you aren't my friend (no offense) here it is:1. I am married to my best friend.2. When I was little I used to clog.3. It is on my 2009 to do list to obtain some ink. IE: get a tattoo4. I have the uncanny ability to memorize lyrics to songs very quickly.5. I always thought I would marry someone famous. I guess I kinda did.6. I don't really like my hands.7

This has been an historic moment in our country. Whether you voted for him or not it is pretty amazing that a day after MKL, Jr Day we, the American Public, swore in the FIRST African American President. This will rank up there with the days in my life that I will always remember where we were. My other days that stick out are the explosion of the Challenger Space Shuttle, the start of

I love to be outside. I enjoy the things that the outdoors offers. What I don’t love is being too hot or too cold. I say I don’t like to hike, but I realized the other day when we took our “big” hike that it isn’t the hiking it is the weather that make me not want to do it. It was so terribly cold and I didn’t have the right “gear” to keep me warm. I still had a ton of fun but if the right

The week after Christmas is usually a really fun one for our family. For the last few years we will load up and head to Gatlinburg for about a week. A lot of the time Mark will have shows for some type of youth conference. We go and enjoy nature, the lights and some good ole’ redneck fun!! This year we took our friends the Whittaker’s up there with us. We had a great time. There were 5 adults

This snow on the trees and the scenery in Alaska is so beautiful I cannot even express it. The snow that just sticks to the branches of the trees looks almost fake. Like a set in a movie. I totally feel like I have just walked through the wardrobe and into Narnia. Maybe I should add meetingMr. Tumnus to the "wish" list.

Seriously we went there. It was the craziest thing. We went to North Pole, AK. This is the place where all of your kids letters go to when they send them to Santa. You can go to the Santa Claus House, but it was only open on the weekends. Well, we made the best of it regardless. (even the street lights look like candy canes!!), AK. It was so much fun and did I mention it is COLD. It

After 14 hours we finally made it to the 49th state in our great union!!! I even got to see an "igloo". Ok, it's really just a chapel made out of ice out front of our hotel, but hey.... one can pretend. Now I need to see a moose and a polar bear (I technically saw a stuffed one in the airport but...) it is 7 AM my time and 3 AM Alaska time. I am going to bed and goodnight. Oh yeah, did I

It’s a well known fact that Third Day pretty much got their start at this club in Marietta called, “The Strand. The Strand has some major history. It used to be a theater in the 50/60’s (my parents actually went there and saw movies). It was several clubs, it has been abandoned and left for dead and it is now a glorious new theater/playhouse/event center in Historic Marietta, GA. The square

Have you ever met a friend you just clicked with. It can be hard to make good friends that you know you will have no matter what happens. Well, this week I found just that in Heather. We have several things in common that I discovered as we were up in the mountains all week. 1) she is a laid back mom, like me2) she likes to sit and chill out3) she crys at sappy movies4) she loves fashion

The Smoky Mountains that is. Where have you been Mrs. Lee??? Well, we have been in a cabin in the mountains for a week, with NO INTERNET I might add. Mark had a week of shows in Gatlinburg with a youth conference called Xtreme. As part of the week we stayed in a great cabin there. We normally go to Gburg with our buddies the Cowen's over New Year's. Due to a little dude being born, they were

Our friends Carlos and Heather have a dear friend who has endured a very tragic life threatening accident. Some of you may have read about it elsewhere. Tomorrow the family is requesting a day of fasting in honor of the couples 10th wedding anniversary. Can you do it??? Are you willing to give up that "thing" that keeps you from the throne of our Savior. I know it is hard and I am not

Here is what I did. I went on a crazy adventure with my brother. He got word of this crazy, auction on all this high end technology. Well I wake up at 6:30 to head out. (Let me say in the words of my befri Brooke, "you don't get up at 6:30 for anything!!!). Well to begin with I had to have cash to pay for my loot at this auction. I go to the ATM to pull out some cash. I get my "maximum".

Thanks to my sweet husband for being full time daddy of a couple of days. I am going home in a few days and I will miss this little boy until I get to see him again. I know he will be loved on by the rest of his family and friends that are so excited to

Ok, so I leave Monday for Hawaii over the Thanksgiving break. I know you are jealous, but.... Anyway, what I am going to do is leave the comments open and you can ask me anything you want to know (within reason, keep it clean!!!) While I am away I will try and answer them. That way I will (hopefully) have something to blog about. I really would hate to keep posting photos of us on the beach,

The other night Mark and I got to have a fun night out with the rest of Third Day. We kinda went on a band field trip, or so it felt like!! We didn't have to get permission slips signed or anything, but we did have the responsibility of keeping up with our tickets. You see, we had the good fortune of going to theColdplay concert at Philips Arena. This was no ordinary show, we actually were

I really didn't know what to do for this month's Third Day/Third Day post. So I decided to talk about the "Otherside" of Third Day. The wives. These ladies inspire, relate and encourage me everyday. I have known them all for various amount of times but I count them all as close friends. This month I will spotlight them:Shannon- (Tai's Wife), what can I say about Shannon. First of all she is

This Halloween was quite fun and entertaining. Abbie decided she wanted to be a pumpkin in about July and decided "sister" would have to be one too. Therefore, we had a real live Pumpkin Patch. They were really cute. We went with my parents, my brother and sister in law and my niece. Because of some unforeseen circumstances our "dada" got to be home and trick or treat with us.

This is a very cute and quite creative site. Kathy is the person behind these great creations/ideas. I have known her for several years. It was probably about a year ago that we were able to reconnect. She is now living in the land of Maple and Moose, she is a Georgia Peach that has been transplanted in Canada. Take a look at her things and let her know if there is anything you might want.

5 years ago today I had the most precious, beautiful little baby Abigail Madden Lee. Little did I know that day that my life would forever be changed and this small little child would quickly eat up my heart. From the beginning she has been such a shining light. She was a big baby and being new parents we didn't quite have the eating thing figured out but as soon as that was corrected she

She is cute, and quite a little musical talent. She is almost 5 and her piano teacher says she is pretty scary good!! I know she got it from her daddy b/c me... um not so much musical talent.

Do you want to own a piece of Third Day collective memorabilia? Do you want to help someone in the process? Then go and bid on thisThird Day,Chronology Guitar. It is a signed, limited edition (like only 30 were made), out of Mark's personal collection guitar. The money that is raised for this will all be given to the Cowen Adoption Foundation. These are our friends who are in the process

First off, I must say that this "little" contest that I just decided to come up with one afternoon has really taken off. I got about 20 entries. That was about 2-3 entries per show. I am very impressed. I was really excited that Mark didn't know about it, but in the end began looking for people that had signs at the meet and greets, etc. See it really can pay to be a Wired member!!!!OK, now

I know some of you are looking for another type of post (I am getting around to it, just be patient!!!) Until then let this whet your appetite. Here is info. about the BLOG PARTY I have told some of you about. Come it will be fun. Thanks to Heather for really being the one to put this together. I know I told her I would help but.... well this little thing called Kitty got in my way. But she

Recently Abbie got her some "big girl bedding". It has taken me almost 5 years to find what would fit her personality. Well, one day I was browsing through a catalog and it hit me. It was the one. It was as if I heard singing, beckoning me to purchase it. It was the cutest, most fitting bedding I had ever laid eyes on. (And let's remember I see ALOT of bedding owning a children's boutique!!

Ok folks. I have officially gotten 8 photos of folks with signs about ye old blog here with Mr. Mark Lee of Third Day. He tells me that he has taken at least 15 photos or more with folks. That means that there are a bunch of you that have NOT gotten me your photo. You have until midnight on Monday, October 13 (which happens to be Columbus day if you are interested) to send me your email. If

Today we were in one of Mark's favorite places. Borders. Well as I was walking around said store looking for Mark guess what I found.I have seen Third Day stuff in stores before, but NEVER such a prominent display in a major retailer such as this. As I was beaming with pride I thought, "hey, why don't we have a copy of that for our house!!". I wonder if there is anyone who can help me get one!

Something happened today that made me question myself. Not wanting to get into specifics I will be very vague but relevant. I allowed fear to control me. I sat frozen not knowing what to do in a given situation. Then later that day I felt this tugging, pulling, NEED to make it right. I am a believer so my "little voice" to me is the Holy Spirit. So, in an attempt to escape that fear and

Ok, I need to disclaim this post and say I really love my husband and am very proud of him. He is very successful at what he does. Now let's just say if we had met in high school we probably would NOT have ended up together. Let's set the story. Here we are 15 years ago, I am a young, immature high schooler. I made fun of the band geeks. Not right, I know. It probably stems from some sort

Most of you may think that because of what Mark does that I get to do interviews and q&a sessions all the time. Well, not actually. You see, most folks want to know about Mark and what he does. Sometimes I can feel left out (begin the tiny violin playing now!!!). Well, thanks to this lovely lady NOT ANYMORE. I am blog famous. You want my autograph??? Kat has an amazing blog with amazing

Oh to have a big sister. I am in line at Moe's today ordering for Abbie and me. The baby is fussy and Abbie (being the exceptionally good big sister she is!!) told me she would give sister the bottle. I think GREAT. This way I can order, pay and all that jazz (why did I go to an order and take your food to table place w/ a newborn and 4 year old- by myself? I am still trying to figure that

The other day I was having lunch with my new California friend Heather. We ate at this great little restaurant "The Fickle Pickle", ironically the pickles that came with our sandwich were um shall we say, not one that a fickle person would like!! Anyway, as we were there talking and splitting our sandwiches, yes splitting. I was so happy that Heather wanted to try mine and me hers so we decided

It has now been 5 weeks since we became a family of 4. It is still weird to think about sometimes. Now instead of talking just about Abbie, I talk about "the girls". That statement has been said by both Mark and I and every time we say it, you see a little grin come to both our faces. The big girl has been the most amazing big sister EVER. She is loving, gentle, patient and helpful. If the

Mark is very honored to have an endorsement from PRS and the folks that work there are quite amazing and wonderful. They really take care of him and his needs. They sent us the cutest baby gift the other day. I guess you can never start them too young. Thank you very much to our PRS family.

I played youth ALTA, I played in High School and I have played ladies ALTA/USTA for as long as I can remember. My parents played tennis when I was little. I remember many nights on the tennis courts playing with my brother while my parents played until the wee hours.

If you attend a Music Builds show and get a picture of you holding up a sign @ the show showing you read this blog you will be entered to win something from me!!! It will be Third Day related.

Some of you have gone down the path of our buddies the Cowen's. For years they tried to have a baby, went to hell and back and decided to adopt. They have been so very faithful in their walk with the Lord during this trial. I don't know that I would have had the strength to keep moving ahead. Did I mention that Brooke and BJ are both just a tiny bit stubborn!!! (I can say that b/c I love

My main man and cutest husband Mark reminded me yesterday (August 13) that we had been "officially dating" for 15 years. OK, that is crazy. See this is how the story goes. I met Mark via Mac in about June of 1993. Mac and I worked together and he wanted me to go see his "band". So I said sure. I loaded up 2 of my girlfriends, (Aimee and our other friend Stephanie). So the 3 of us and like

It has been an eventful few days around the Lee household. We were supposed to have a baby on July 27. Well, the Lord had other plans. Our little bundle of joy decided to come on Friday, July 25 instead. After going to the Dr. on Friday morning she had us go to the hospital for some monitoring. My blood pressure was a little high so she wanted to watch me. Long story short, after about 2

As some of you may or may not know I am having a baby in about 2 weeks. Therefore, with the excitement and such I am going to take a bit of a blogging hiatus. I may post or not, but please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Come back in August. We should be ready to go by then. Until next post.....

Tonight we had a fun family night. We went to this really fun, unique and yummy restaurant called "ELEVATION". This place is cool because it sits on the runway of the small airfield here in Cobb County. The food at this place is really good. Different and fresh. I think the motto is "midtown food without the midtown traffic!!!". Every table has a view of the airstrip and we saw planes take

Today is the husbands birthday. I will not disclose his age for his sake!!! :). Let's just say he doesn't look his age my any stretch. How do you put into words how you feel about someone you love so much??? Well, Mark is my best friend first and foremost. He ALWAYS has made me laugh. Either at something he does (falling up stairs- DAILY), or some weird comment he says. Yes, many a time

Oh my dear bloggy friends. I have a very sad and heavy heart right now. We just got word that our dear friends the Chapman family (Steven Curtis Chapman) lost one of their children in a TERRIBLE accident today. Life is fragile and we must take each second we can to love each other and our kids. Please, Please pray for this amazing family. I know the strength of the Lord will prevail but now.

Hello bloggy friends. I am very TIRED of tripping over pedals, guitars, cables, CD's, etc!!! I am starting to list some of his stuff on ebay. I don't know a ton about ebay but I do know that I need this stuff bid on so I can get rid of it. Some of it may be great stuff, some of it not.

The other day I was asking Mark why we were called this. Now, I think I know why.Yesterday as husband and I dined on the quaint Marietta Square for lunch I saw a newsreel on TV with a T-Shirt with Curious George on it and something about Obama. (First let me say that I don't normally get into politics but this seems very relevant.)So I laugh and say to Mark. Is the dude in trouble for using

I will have 2 posts as not to offend the afore mentioned husband. You see he does concerts for a living and what if he didn't end up in the favorite shows list? That would not be good for marital accord now would it. So here is my list of favorite

Today was May-Retta (an arts and crafts festival) days on the Square in Marietta, GA. This is the town in which we live. You may think that the name is b/c it is a festival in May, but....is is really the PROPER Southern way of pronouncing our city. Mayretta!!! Anyway it was a ton of fun and we got alot of cute things. Some frames, flip flops and frozen sweet tea. What could be better. The

This post comes a day late but it still had to be done. Actually, since Randy know us so well, I don't think he would expect anything less!! Better late than never right?? Randy Elrod is one super amazing man. He and his wonderful wife Chris, were a family to us during a very transitional time in our lives. When we moved to Tennessee they were the ones there with open arms inviting us into

Today I read a friend's blog. This particular blog generally makes me laugh or question what my view is on a particular matter. Today's reading made me question and comment. This I rarely do. I have known Shaun for many years. We attended the same church when Mark and I lived in Tennessee. He is in the same industry that my husband is in- yet, now to a different degree. With that being

Well, we made it back safely from our trip. Now we are diving into the wonderful world of getting rid of stuff. We moved in our new house a year ago and basically filled up a room in the basement that consists of boxes and boxes of stuff labeled "garage sale". We were committed to move in, unpack and a few weeks later have a garage sale. As we were getting it together a wise friend, I really

I love being a mom. You get to have Spring Break all over again. Can you believe it. A whole week off. No school, no packing lunches, no getting up early (thanks to grandma!!). The tour is over and Mark is off work for an entire 5 days. We are in heaven. We are on a trip with his mom and stepdad. Having fun, relaxing and enjoying family. There will be minimal posts this week so go have

We recently went with Mark to some shows. Abbie was dying to ride on the "Fird Day" bus. So we packed ourselves up and braved the cold, windy weather and headed to Nashville (after being in Athens) for a little show at this thing called a NASCAR race. It was really cool being at the track and hearing the roar of the engines at the start. I don't know how safe all the gas fumes were for the

If you knew me when I had my first you aren't surprised by that fact. We are still discussing names but the munchkin has has dubbed her "Scooby-Doo". WOW. Sad thing is that since we are undecided Mark and I have been

I just have to give an ode to my awesome husband. He has had some heavy stuff going on the last few weeks and he has prevailed like a true champ. Something has been happening in this house that has rarely if ever happened in the 10 years we have been married. Just about daily Mark will practice. Now, don't get me wrong- Mark usually will pick up his guitar and fiddle around with it

Sorry it has been so long in posting. We have been very, very busy. I will catch you up in due time. What I do want to post about is Preschool Birthday parties. These little shindigs crack me up. First was a fun party for Abbie's little friend Perrin. Now Perrin is the cutest, sweetest, most adorable little girl I have ever met. She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES my husband. She wants to learn to

I was spending some quality time on the computer yesterday (is that really possible?) There was this great little test I took. Let me tell you, most of these things are a bit of a crock to me. This one was spot on. It pretty well describes me to a tee. If you know me you will probably agree. I should probably try to work on that "brash" part- am I brash???? I guess so.

So, I decided to order up some tickets the next morning. That morning as I was on Ticketmaster my little girl found this. I'm just gonna let you guess which one I ended up with tickets to that day!

When I was several years younger Friday was my day. Now that I am older and don't have the "what am I gonna do this weekend" feel, I have changed to Thursday. Here is why. My little girl doesn't have school, dance, gymnastics, etc. There is nothing on the docket. We can sleep in- be lazy in our PJ's, go to lunch with whomever we please, have fun at Target and mostly just stay at home and

Well, we have returned from our Spring Training trip and I promised you some highlights. Ended up that my dad, mom and little sprout went down to Orlando for the games. Of course, since the Braves train at Disney my little one decided we needed to go. It was a great time. Weather was perfect. Sunny but not too hot. My sweet husband even came home from a show on Sunday and flew to Orlando.
