"It's my strength for holding on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I'll have everything I'll ever need
I'm carrying your love with me"
Every minute that I have to be gone

How did you meet?
We met on the internet when it
wasn't popular in 1996, when there were chat rooms. My sister brought
home her computer from college and told me NOT to share ANY personal info with
anyone. He asked if there were any cute TX girls and I instant messaged
him yes I was. We chatted on private message for 4 hrs and he was a hen pecker
so I asked him if he wanted to call me. He called and we talked until 6 am.
That was at Thanksgiving. We kept talking and he bought me a plane ticket
to come see him for New Years Eve. I flew and he picked me up. He
put me in a hotel. We were engaged 1 month later and
married June 26, 1996.

Kelly, what is your
favorite part of marriage?
My favorite part of marriage is each
stage we have been through. I LOVE to spend time with Greg. He is
my soul mate!!

What is the most
important aspect of a marriage?
COMMUNICATION!!!! You MUST tell how
you are feeling about something. If you don't, the person will NEVER
know. Do it in a kind way.
© Life often throws many
curveballs, and those that make it through those tough times stay together. How
have you dealt with stressful times that arise?
We dealt with infertility for 10
years of our marriage. It was the MOST difficult thing to deal
with. The problem was mine and I felt like SUCH a failure!! Having Greg
reassure me and help me deal with it was AMAZING!!! We grew MUCH stronger in
our faith. We went to MANY Bible studies together during that time so we
grew in our faith and with each other.

What advice would you
give to newly married couples?
The advice we would give to young
married couples is to follow the biblical example of marriage, leave your
family and cleave to your spouse. If you have children they do NOT come
first. First is The Lord-ALWAYS, then spouse, then children. ALWAYS
communicate!!

What song best describes

Your Love for Me"
