SHANE & KIDS
I am married to the most incredible man that has ever existed. Before marriage I was very unsure of myself, had quite low esteem, and It was very difficult to accept a compliment.
Today I am about 50 pounds over weight but he still loves me and is constantly complimenting me on how I look, is always telling me he loves me, snuggles with me in bed or while on the couch relaxing and watching TV. He holds my hand like we were still teenagers. We are usually together on weekends working in the house, in the yard or doing together what ever activities come along.
He is a great dad that loves his kids, which is really easy to do because they are 3 of the most incredible kids that I have ever met. They have never been kids to get into trouble, none of them drink, smoke or do drugs, and they are respectful to both of us. He always played with them when they were little, he has always been there for them when they needed him, I should say we have alway's been there for them. We have always done alot together as a family.
He has always been fortunate to have a good paying job that provides for us. He spoils me, and the kids. We have known each other since we were just babies. My family lived next door to his aunt and uncle when I was born, and his mom would bring him and his older brothers over to his aunts house to play while they had coffee. We were all of 2 years old and I still remember playing with a bunch of little boys. Little did we know then.
We went all the way thru Jr High and High school together and the only recollection that either of us have is of having any classes together is one time in a Freshman English class, our teacher would let us bring our records on Friday and play them during class. She was a deeply religious lady that wouldn't cuss if her life depended on it. One of the students brought in the album with the song "God Damn the Pusher Man" on it. We got most of the way thru the song before she realized what was being said in the song and she just about had a fit. Needless to say that ended our Friday Music Appreciation Classes! He went into The Air Force right after Graduation and was away from our home town for the next 6 years. When he left he was engaged to one of my best friends. I then watched as she dropped him for another boy, lucky for me, then dropped that one for another one, then got dropped by him, went to another, not sure how many times but she finally got married. Shane got engaged to another girl while in the Air Force, she broke it off the day before they were to be married, Lucky for me again. We got together after he spent 4 years in the military, then another 2 years away from home. We started dating on
December 6, 1980, I got my engagement ring on January 6, 1981, he had to work on February 6, so his brother Jim delivered pink roses to me that evening, and we were married on March 6, 1981.
We have 3 children living Matthew 21, Phillip 19, and Emily 17. I couldn't ask for a more awesome family. Barton our first born was Still born on Dec 23, 1981.
