Wow! It seems like only yesterday I stormed into the factory where you worked, picked you up in my arms, and carried you off while everyone else cheered. Okay, that's not exactly how it happened... but... still, ya got to admit we have an amazing story of our own.

Who would have thought that when I ventured off to Spain with the Air Force I would meet the love of my life...my soul mate...the one who completes me? We grew up literally a world apart, yet God brought us together and made us one. That's incredible. That's only something God could work out.

I love you, Begoña! More today than ever! Happy almost-sorta-kinda anniversary (she knows what that means)! Seventeen years! Man, I can't believe you haven't traded me in for a newer model yet.

Te quiero para siempre mi preciosita. Te quiero. Te quiero.

Awwwwwwwwwww ... that last little line was cool!

I wish I spoke a cool language with romantic overtones!

"I love you, dude -- let's go surfing!" just doesn't sound the same ..

Love you, Sandie and Bob! God knew what He was doing when He brought you into our lives. Our marriage is strengthened by your example. And your friendship is more valuable than gold.

You two are so cute! I guess "An Officer and a Gentlemen" is pretty universally a guys "chick flick". Steve loves that movie!

An Officer and a Gentleman: One of those rare movies men and women can enjoy together. Heartbreak Ridge was another one. Okay...maybe not. But, I liked it.
