The Beginning...

 I have often wondered if I should start a blog.  I'm not the greatest when it comes to getting the words from my head or heart onto a price of paper or computer screen.  I think and compose words best when going to sleep and of course I can never remember exactly what I wanted to write/type in the morning.  So bear with me on this journey.  I feel that it's important for me to capture the trials and triumphs that my family and I have faced, are facing and will face. Let the journey begin....

Part One: The Wedding

Mr. & Mrs. Toby Thompson - December 14, 2002

 

 

 

 

 

I met my wonderful husband in November 1998 and four years late we were married.  I was the manager of a local bridal shop and he was the service manager at a local rental place.  The day of our wedding was memorable, flaws and all.  I hit a road barricade with my freshly detailed car while my soon to be husband was witness to the incident in the vehicle behind me...whoops!  Then about an hour before the wedding the best man came in to tell me that Toby's (my husband) vest didn't fit him at all.  What's the point of trying on your tuxedo if you don't try on ALL the parts? :) No worries! I just sent the Best Man to a local tuxedo shop and told him to get any black vest that would fit Toby.  Oh yes, there were some more bumps in the road that day but we just took everything in stride and went with it.  In my book the wedding was PERFECT! We are still happily married 8 1/2 years later.
