I BELIEVE ;)

I believe that the sun shines after the rain
I believe if you don't get hurt you'll never gain
I believe in not doing things the easy way
I believe that being selfish doesn’t pay
I believe in a second chance
I believe in a life long romance
I believe there is life after death
And standing up to a life of mess

I believe in love at first sight
I believe that revenge isn’t right
I believe that first impressions last
And there is nothing better then a good laugh

I believe that dreams do come true
I believe there's destiny for me and you
I believe that good things come to those who wait
I believe love never arrives too late
I believe something good comes from something bad
I believe that for tears of happiness there are tears of sad
I believe everyone has a guardian angel
And the good you do will be rewarded well

I believe sometimes there is no explanation
I believe money can't buy people's affection
I believe you don't know what you've got until it's gone
I believe a new day arrives with every dawn
I believe a smile can be contagious
I believe in being very outrageous
I believe in living with no regrets
I believe that life is as good as it gets
I believe that God watches over us
I believe the little things are worth the fuss
I believe you have each friend for a reason
I believe you will get punished for treason
I believe that what comes first is family
I believe we should all live in harmony
I believe in making the most of a beautiful day
And it's not the end until everything's okay

I believe absence makes the heart grow fonder
I believe you will lose if you sit and wonder
I believe every experience teaches you a lesson
And nothing cures better then a thinking session

I believe everyone has one true love
I believe sometimes we need a little shove
I believe the whole world is a stage
I believe we only get better with age
I believe that to learn you have to live
I believe that to love someone you have to give
I believe one moment can change your life
And there's still help when you’re in strife

I believe everyone has one true friend
I believe love helps a broken heart mend
I believe in the power of a song
And things will change before too long

I believe living is the best experience
I believe in not laughing at other people’s expense
I believe it’s hard to watch a lover leave
And when they’re gone all you can do is breath

I believe to always look on the bright side
I believe that life is just one big ride
I believe when I die people will grieve
But it’s ok because I believe

Promised Land

Lonely roads I've walked. Uneven, cobbled-stone streets. With barren fields on its side. Arid, dry, lifeless.


In a distance, a man walks. His face down, never looking up. Upon me he lifts his face and smiles. Slowly he walks by.

Another man walks beside me. Held my hand, leading me. To what seems an ocean far beyond. Onto it we went, only to see a mirage.


Again, I went by my lonesome to that lonely road. Beckoning me to continue This trek to a promised land.

A crossroad, the first man returned. This time with face up, beaming with hands reaching out, offering slowly I held them, step by step.

Trek we did on this not so lonely road Farther, uphill we climbed, hand in hand Lo! and behold before us lies a valley of flowers of unknown kind.

Upon the horizon birds fly spreading their wings upon the mountainside. By my side he still stands holding my hands, he leads me to the promised land.

Friends

Waters may dry.. Flowers may die.. But true friends will never say goodbye...

A best friend will always find a way to love you even when you have done something that u cannot fix.

Forget the times that he walked by. Forget the times he made you cry. Forget the times he spoke your name. Remember-now, you're not the same. Forget the time he held your hand. Forget the sweet things if you can. Forget the times, and don't pretend. Remember-now, he's just your friend.

Through out your life you will meet someone who is unlike any other, you could talk for hours and never get bored, you could tell them things and they won't judge you... person is your soul mate...your best friend don't EVER let them go.

Three things of life that are most valuable - Love, self-confidence & friends.

Friends are like roses they are beautiful and gentle, but will cause pain in the process of defending themselves.

Friends are like pee. Everyone can see it but your the only one that can feel it!

“God makes lots of people in all colors, shapes, and sizes. He loves them very much, and what we need to realize is that calling people names because they’re different is wrong. Instead, we need to look on them in love and sing this song: ‘I can be your friend. I can be your friend. Any day in any weather. We can be friends and play together…’”

Day 6 of Construction!!

Garage starting to be built.

Wedding 2001!!





Happy Anniversary to the one I love!!

Our Seventh Anniversary!

Dale and I met at a gas station about 10-11 years ago. Dale always says he fell in love with me on first sight. For me it took a little convincing to fall in love with Dale. I remember him asking me out many times every time he asked to go out with me I said "NO!!" I guess just didn't want a relationship and all the drama at that time in my life. But after 7 years he is the one I truly love and adore.
I am very fortunate to have met Dale that summer day at the gas station. He brings so much to my life he is my best friend, my champion, and my one true love for life. He is very encouraging in everything I do or want to do in life. I have great respect for this man that I love so dearly. He is funny even when he doesn't want to be. He is my inspiration for being a dreamer, hard worker, and all around great guy. Dale I am so happy we are together and my life is complete with you in it. Happy Anniversary to the one I love!
