Awww...I wish we would have Fall already!!!

I'm done with the heat...

*10 Years ago...*

I can't believe that we are married for 10 years already...actually it is going to be 11 years in August...we got married in Court in Denmark 1999.
After 4 month of dating we got married...we knew we belong together :)

Here is a little story I want to share with you...now I can laugh over it :)

Our Wedding day, the 15th of July 2000, was a wonderful day...we drove our own vehicle to church...a red Wrangler Jeep decorated with a huge heart on the hood made out of boxwood and a big fluffy white tule ribbon on the back of the Jeep...we had to bring a stepstool because I couldn't get out of the Jeep with my long dress LOL

As most of you know I was born and raised in Germany...and our Wedding's are a little bit different from the Wedding's here in the US...Kevin and I were driving to Church...we came a little bit too late ha ha...Kevin asked me when I'm going put my vail over my face...I asked him WHAT??? Well he told me that is tradition...so I did to make him happy...as I got out of the vehicle my Mom said to me:*What is wrong with YOU?* Of course she ment my vail...so I explained the situation...well, our Priest didn't know that he is supposed to kiss me after we say our Wedding Vows...GREAT...I thought I have to leave church with the vail over my face...I almost cried...I said to Kevin I refuse to leave the church before he will kiss me...at the door he gave me the Wedding Kiss and we live happily ever after...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

*Celebrating our 10th Anniversary*

*Happy Anniversary Honey...I love you with all my heart...forever!

Thank you for the 10 wonderful years...*

I know that you love me,
And I love you, too.
And nothing in life
Is as straight or as true.
Today may be special –
A mark for the year.
But living each day
Is a gift
That is clear.
So I’ll go on wrinkling
And you go on graying –
So long as “I love you!”
Is what we are saying.

Happy Anniversary!

*New TDIPT Mercantile update for July*

For the *BOO* and *Crows 1876* banner I used a black/white diamond shape scrapbook paper for the back to give the banner a finished look and I used a patriotic paper for the *Americana* banner.

*Tribute to Michael Jackson*

Can you believe it...it is already 1 year that Michael Jackson died?

I remember like yesterday, my husband and I were driving home from

Savannah, I was driving and Kevin tried to sleep a little bit...we were

listening to the radio and then the devestating news..."It is official that

Michael Jackson died" we both said at the same time WHAT did he say...

Michael Jackson...we couldn't believe it!

I'm a huge fan of him and his music, he was such a great

Artist, I was at his concert in '93 in Germany at his Europe tour...OMG

we were all so excited to see him, the...the Concert was awesome!

Remember the cover of the CD dangerous? Ahhh that was such a great time :)

Gone but not forgotten!
