31 years and counting . . .

on monday, april 23rd, we will celebrate another beautiful year of togetherness. it hasn't always been so beautiful. those of you who know us, know that for sure. but even through the toughest of times, we have always been together. i can't imagine anything else. that would be my advice to any couple. whatever happens, stay together. in that togetherness you'll find the beauty and strength of being one.

my wife, my love, my soulmate, my best friend. all i ever needed, all i ever wanted, all i ever will need.

i love you sweet woman of mine and i thank you for making me the happiest man on planet earth.

spring flowers

it's early in the growing season for colorado but i wanted to go ahead and get a few shots up. other than one other time when we lived in arizona, i planted bulbs. the front 2 small beds are a mix of daffodils and tulips. i have more daffodils, tulips and crocus' in the back, i was very curious to see how bulbs would survive the harsh winter we had, but hey, it all worked great so this fall i plan to plants lots more!






















derek, leeanne (johnson) & catalina bridges

derek, leeanne (johnson) & catalina bridges checked in as our second round of visitors this year. john clay and his all-girl bible quiz team were in for a few days in march. well, that's not exactly true. paula's brothers have both made stops on their trucking routes through colorado. however, this was the second planned visit for the year. derek is transferring to grand junction and was in denver to meet his new boss. they stayed from easter sunday evening until tuesday morning. we had a nice visit and a great dinner on monday evening at tres margaritas!
