I wanted something beautiful to use as background as beautiful as Chris and I's relationship and I found it.**SMILE**

Chris and I met alittle over 3 1/2 years ago. Online of course in a chat room, we started out as online friends chatting when each of us had the time. Nothing serious just a casual friendship that GREW bigger then either one of us thought it would. In May of 1998 Chris and I decided to meet in real life so I flew to California, where Ive always wanted to visit, and we met. We instantly knew that we were meant to be together. We had a blast the whole weekend an when it came time for me to fly back to Kansas it wasnt easy for either of us to say "goodbye" so we didnt...instead we said we'd see each other later. From that weekend on we talked and chatted and commuted back and forth from California/Kansas. Finally, we just couldnt stand to be apart any longer. We both decided that it would be easier for me to move to California because Chris was still attending Cal-Poly Pomona where he is graduating in June of 2001. So off to California I flew, it was hard leaving my family & friends, growing up in a small town in Kansas was all I knew and I love it there so coming out here was a HUGE culture shock and a HUGE step for me to take but my wings were ready to expand and experience a new life and a new world to me. So, almost 2 years later here I sit in Southern California, this move has been a huge experience for me and one that I will never regret. It's made me "grow up" so to say. Coming out here w/no family or friends, just Christopher and his family which I have to say are so loving and made me feel so comfortable. They welcomed me with loving arms and treated me like I was one of their own. To them I thank you for all your love and for your son who has completed my life. He's truly a blessing from above and I thank God for him everyday. I love you Christopher!!!! :) Here are a few pictures of him and I :)

This is Christopher & I, taken in December of 1999.

This was taken at OUR favorite place of all Medieval Times in Buena Park California. This was our 3rd Year going, we go every May to celebrate our anniversary when we met in real life.

This is our baby, his name is Poo Baer.

I have many many more pictures to add at a later time....
