A friend of ours had a very funny reply to our engagement. He said, “This needs to be a federal holiday.” Yes! Those who know us know this has been many years in the making, 12 to be exact. Randy was, I repeat WAS a sworn bachelor. Renee just wanted to experience new things in her life. Years later, Randy is no longer that bachelor and we definitely have experienced a lot! From pets, new jobs, vacations, celebrations, passing of loved ones, family growth and planning for retirement. We grew and continue to grow with each other. Life is always changing and throwing curveballs, we early on have shown undeniable acceptance of such events. We have a connection and a unwavering love for each other that will always be getting stronger each and every day. We only hope many others have such a special bond that we have. Cherish it.
