What Does A Tiger Say?

It's Official

I just finished booking our fall vacation. We are headed to Puerto Vallarta in October with our good friends Robb and Kris- with NO children!! I can hardly wait; I just want to go now. Doesn’t it look beautiful!?!

My Valentine

WHAT IS HIS NAME?
Jamey D Stanworth

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
7 ½ years- Our wedding date has a little bit of meaning- we met the July before and our first date was on the 27th, so happens- July 27th, 2000


HOW LONG DID YOU DATE?
We dated 6 months, but we were engaged by month 2. We knew each other for 6 months before we started dating. A big group of us all hung out together, so we were friends first.

WHO SAID I LOVE YOU FIRST?
Jamey- We were watching a movie and I was falling a sleep when he said, “I think I’m falling in love with you.” The next day when I saw him I asked him if he really said that.

WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED?
Jamey

WHO MOWS THE LAWN?
Jamey- I think this needs to be his job, since I have to take care of the inside. That’s really how I was raised. Although when I was a kid I loved moving the lawn.

WHO DRIVES?
Always Jamey- he gets car sick very easy, driving helps (he says).

WHO IS MORE STUBBORN?
Umm… Do I really have to answer this one? Of course it’s me!

WHO KISSED WHO FIRST?
I don’t remember, but I think Jamey kissed me first.

WHO ASKED WHO OUT FIRST?
Jamey called me when he was in Utah for his sister's wedding and asked if on December 27th, I wanted to go with him to an Av’s game. He had an extra ticket. (I think that the ticket really belonged to the ex-girlfriend.)

WHO PROPOSED?
Jamey and I first decided to get married the end of February just before he was to fly out of town for work. He then really proposed on March 25,2000 in a hot air balloon. It was very cool. When we landed he had some friends taking pictures and serenading us with our song. Plus he had 2 dozen red roses for me. It’s all on video- pretty fun!!




WHO WEARS THE PANTS?
Me again- I just like to do things my way.

WHY DO YOU LOVE HIM?
Wow- there are lots: He says “I love you” all the time and always kisses me goodbye before he leaves for work and when he arrives home, he is the best dad, anything I ask him to do he will, he works really hard for his family, he is very inventive, he is very supportive of me and my dreams, he lets me have things my way a lot, he is very easy going, he really makes me want to be a better person. Most of all, because he loves me unconditionally!!

The C Word

This is the seventh time in eighteen years that a doctor has told a family member of mine that they have CANCER. Last night my mom called to tell me that the mass the doctors found on my grandmother's liver is malignant. We don’t have very much information right now, but the blow I felt is indescribable. Eighteen years ago she was able to fight breast cancer, and has been in remission ever since. Now at the age of 81 she has been told that once again she has a tumor and it is cancerous. I have already lost both of my paternal grandparents to different types of cancer. (My grandfather passed away almost exactly one year ago to bone cancer.) Both my mother and mother-in-law fought different types of cancer at the same time six years ago. I feel like cancer has completely plagued my family and my little world. I wish that there was an easy cure- I HATE CANCER!
