I cannot believe that after all these years my mother can rest assured that her first-born will not die an old maid... I never even entertained the thought of getting married until Shawn came along... and now after almost 5 years together he has asked me to be his wife... I never wanted children of my own... I've always said that if God wants me to have children - He'll send them with the man... Well, Shawn has 5 awesome kiddos... and come November 8 we'll be one big happy family... A big family needs big space... and our goal is to add on to the house we have now ~ one room at a time ~ to hold all the love we have for one another. :)
