Hi Don: That was very nice of you. Sandy and I have been married 27 years, and she says I am hard to live with sometimes too!!:bighug: She still has those dancing dark eyes full of mischief. What you are saying.......most of us understand, hope you have fun on your expedition.

Well folks, early tomorrow morning we will be leaving for the companies resort near Hayward, WI. It will just be Eileen and I along with our son Dylan and one of his friends. Before leaving though, I just wanted to pay a special tribute to a special lady.

 

Approximately 13 years ago, I was living in San Diego, CA but was in Dallas, TX on a business trip. It's a long story that I won't tell right now but the bottom line is that I met a very special lady. I was just out of a bad relationship and certainly not looking to get back into a relationship at the time. Eileen had been divorced for many years and was very content with her life and was looking even LESS than I was to get into a relationship. The fact is though, and I honestly believe this, there was a higher power who took control of the situation and thrust us towards one anyway. There are many things that happened but suffice to say, it was just meant to be.

 

Tomorrow we will celebrate 12 years of marriage. I wish that I could say that it has been a heavenly 12 years but there have been some rough times, mostly from outside influences. Family illnesses, deaths in the family, many things and it has been very difficult at times. The one thing though that has carried us through it though is a love for each other that I never knew could be so strong. I know that some of you may not believe this, but there is a slight possibility that I can be hard to live with at times.. :) NO...really....it's true. :confused24: What can I say, she has stood beside me even when I sometimes thought I was strong enough to stand alone. She knows and understands my weaknesses better than I do and for that I give thanks to our Heavenly Father on a very regular basis. The Lord knows what we need and when we need it and provided me with a very special partner that I honestly don't know, now, how I could do without.

 

OK...sorry about getting all mushy on you but just wanted to publicly acknowledge what a wonderful person she is. She allows me the time to enjoy this site and all of the friends I have made here and that alone is a pretty big deal. In that regard, I promise you that I will be here and that I will continue to work towards making this a better place for all of us but I am also pledging to be more available to my lovely wife this year and recommit myself to a wonderful person that deserves all that I can be for her.

 

Besides all that....she is HOT!!!!!!! :)

 

and now back to our regularly scheduled program. :)

 

Congratulations Don and Eileen! I wish many more years of love and happiness. I can certainly relate. Remind me sometime to tell you about how my wife and I met. God doesn't give us what we want, only what we NEED.

 

Have a great time on your getaway and try to stay away from here as much as possible. Believe it or not, we will survive! :thumbsup:

Now your job is to be looking after someone very dear to you, and enjoying your vacation, NOT POSTING on this site. Go on, GET, SCRAM, BE GONE, we don't want to hear any more from you until you get back. I think the heat must be getting to you, posting like that.:buttkick:

Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary!

I too have a story like yours and know how sweet it is when things were meant to be. God watches over and helps us even when we don't know we need it. When you find the right mate things are pretty awesome no matter what the world throws at you. Many more!:thumbsup:

Happy Anniversary you two! And I echo many that mentioned about why our gals keep us around for so long!

 

I can never figure out either.

 

We have great ladies....all with the patience of Jobe!
