the best me 6 Posted March 24, 2005 Well, I would have never found it if you hadn't directed me, Vera, thanks! Okay!! I won't spill the Beans but be sure to read the responses to her post...SOMEONE posts a little word or two and when THAT happened, well, I just about lost it. Okay, so now I'm a little jealous that she told all them and not us...hmmm. But she's so cute it's hard to be mad. Can't wait till she posts...waiting....

Banded14yr 2 Posted March 24, 2005 Shelly, Congratulations woman! What an absolutely incredible story! You two make such a nice looking couple and it's apparent that he is totally head over heals in love with you as you with him I took the time to go to Calvin's profile and read about his story. You two were a match made in heaven! We'll miss you in Nashville, if you ever come back to visit, maybe we can meet for lunch or something.
