CALIFORNIA



We spent a week in sunny California and can't wait to go back for another visit.

5 Years


Terry and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary June 7th. I NEVER imagined I could be this happy and love someone (other then my children) this much. I’m so grateful that Terry came into my life (and my kid’s lives). Most of you know the story but I'm going to highlight it anyway. Terry and I met in January of 2003. It took a while for Terry to convince me to go out on a date with him. Terry was/is nearly 6 years younger then I am and I didn't think he was ready for a divorced woman and two small children. Terry was persistent and called me nearly every day. Surprisingly, we started building a foundation for the rest of our lives and we had not even gone out on a date yet. I finally realized that Terry was (is) very true to his word and sincerely wanted to get to know me and my children. Once I let him in, I knew he was the man I would spend the rest of my life with. Terry, Thank you for being so persistent. You truly know how to love and you have brought so many blessings into my life and I’m thrilled that I will be in our loving arms eternally. Always and Forever! Do you remember this song from our wedding?

"Forever And For Always"
Shania Twain

In your arms I can still feel the way you
want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way--
and there ain't not how
I'll never see that day....

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm keeping you
forever and for always
We will be together all of our day
Wanna wake up every
morning to your sweet face--always

Mmmm, baby
In your heart--I can still hear
a beat for every time you kiss me
And when we're apart,
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't now way--
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

[Repeat Chorus]

(I wanna wake up every morning)

In your eyes--(I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
The one who wouldn't put anything
else in the world above me
(I can still see love for me) I can
still see love for me in your eyes
(I still see the love)

And there ain't no way--
I'm lettin' you go now
And there ain't no way--
and there ain't no how
I'll never see that day....

[Repeat Chorus]

I'm keeping you forever and for always
I'm in your arms
