One Year

One year has come and gone. Times in our marriage have been great, though we faced many hard times. I had to face death in my family in an all new way. My Papa Dub died this past year and it was and still is very hard for me. But, through this hard time, our family has grown closer and stronger than ever. As I look back on all the good things that happened I am very happy with my first year of marriage. We bought a house, got a puppy, bought a car, and started a new business. We have had our money get very tight, but God has always provided for us. I look forward to another year with Angel and many many more.

Almost 6 months

We just got back from our first mini-vacation. We had a blast except for the one day I spent throwing up. We went white water rafting and saw a dinner and show. We went to Pigeon Forge, Tenn. and stayed in our BlueGreen resort. We really had a great time. We got in a sauna for a while, and got in the jacuzzi a few times in our room. Angel saw exotic birds while I puked my guts out. We saw the Black Bear Jamboree and it was really good. This is a reminder to myself and anyone else...don't eat at #1 China Buffet, it is NASTY!

I will start trying to keep this more up-to-date and I'll start posting pictures too.

It is done....

We just finished getting married. You looked so beautiful. You really made me the happiest man alive. I am suppose to be changing right now, but I couldn't resist telling you this last thing before we leave. You are so perfect and I know many guys envy me right now. I love you very very much and I am so happy to be spending the rest of my life with you. I pray God protects us and continues to bless us forever.

Love Always,

Travis

22 Hours left....

Well, I haven't been able to write much because we have had so much going on. We are no longer counting down the months, or weeks, or even days now; we are in the last few hours. As tomorrow gets closer we will begin to count down the minutes. Then, I will see my beautiful bride to be coming to join our lives together forever. I really can't wait till that happens. I am ready to be a husband and I am ready for Angel to be my wife. Things couldn't be more perfect. She is really everything I have wanted. She meets my every need, and I hope I do the same for her.

We are less than two hours away from going to rehersal and my nerves have been shot for days now. I try to put on a strong man front. But, I am really about to lose it inside. She keeps looking to me for reactions, but I hold them all within. I am trying to funnel every feeling and emotion I have into these words. I have only had a few hours of sleep each night, and each night has gotten worse. Last night I managed to squeeze in a weak two hours of sleep. I laid down today for ten minutes and it felt like I had slept for ten hours. I hope I can meet her ever expectation for this big day. I really want to make sure it is everything she has hoped for.

For some reason, guys don't dream of this day, and they don't plan out every detail like girls do. From the week we started dating she has told me she has dreamed and thought about how perfect she wants her wedding to be. I only pray that it is and will be. I know it will be perfect for me because I will be marrying the best girl in the world. No man could as for anything more.

I will try to write in the morning to express my final feelings before I go to the church.

Until next time,

Travis

Some Good and Some Bad

Well, I haven't wrote anything in a couple of days. Mainly because a lot has been going on. But, a few good things have happened. We finally got my ring, and it is really really cool. Everything at the Life Center is looking great. Everything seems to be working out just fine. But, we did have a little bad happen today. I woke up and had a terrible headache and my throat felt like it was going to close up on me. I had to go to the doctor and found out I have a bad sinus infection. But, he was able to give me some strong medicine that will work in less than three days. I already feel a lot better and it's only been about six hours since I saw the doctor. I am getting really excited about the wedding and the honeymoon. Myrtle Beach has been under a freeze warning this whole week, so it may be really cold when we go down there. We would like to have a white Christmas, but I think everyone wants that. We'll have to see what happens.

Until next time,

Travis

One Week To Go

I have one week to go till I get married. The emotions are getting a bit crazy. Tension is becoming our worst enemy. We are both very sensitive to any comments by anyone. We are constantly feeling like people are trying to mess our special day up. I know we will be fine and I know God will strengthen us. We will have a beautiful wedding and we will be very happy.

Today is Angel's Birthday, and I have to work. Then, tonight we have a Christmas partty to attend. I really wish I had the time and money to do something special for her. We are good, as long as she knows I love her.

Well, I have to run, I have to be at work by 10am and it's already 9:47am.

Till next time.

My first official blog.

I really don't know what a blog is, and I really don't care. I just know everyone else in the world seems to be doing it, so why not me? I have 8 days until I get married. Things are getting crazy, but I am loving every minute of it. I am really looking forward to spending the rest of my life with Angel. Many things will change and I will have to learn many new things, but I don't know of a better person to learn all those things with than Angel.

I am sure I will post more thoughts as I have them.

Good Day for now.

Travis
