Hello everyone,
Seems like it has been ages since last we wrote. My wife and I have been very busy these last couple of months. To start our holiday season my wife and I celebrated our one year anniversary on December 7th 2009. We ended up having a nice lunch together because we knew how busy we were going to be all month. This past year seems like it flew by. The seasons came and went, and I feel my wife and I grew a stronger bond as a couple. The whole month of December our staff decorated our home to our liking. They really made it feel like our own "north pole". From decorations like snowflakes and wreaths, they did a great job. I have had my christmas tree for quite a long time, and this year I really wanted to open my wife's present and I know she wanted hers as well. We placed them under the tree and counted the days til we could open them. Christmas morning in Southern California was sunny and warm. Not too far to the north we could see snow capped mountains. We exchanged gifts and I am sure my wife was happy with the gifts I gave her. Cathy listens to her Dolly Parton CD's all the time. I don't know what my wife is trying to tell me, but, she gave me a bottle of Tim McGraw cologne. This stuff smells great and maybe my wife thinks I'm a little bit like Tim McGraw. I also gave my wife a nice dress for "special occasions". For dinner my wife and I went to Denny's where we had our favorite meal, breakfast, for dinner! Cathy had an omelette and I had biscuits and gravy.
New Years was right around the corner and my wife and I stayed home for this years countdown. My wife was asleep by 8 p.m. Cathy had recently had some of her medication increased and she was exhausted. I was able to stay awake and see the ball drop. It's amazing to think we are ten years into this century already. A lot has happened in ten years.
Not too long after New Years my wife needed to see an optomotrist to check her eyes. We were excited because Wal-Mart recently made many commercials and ads stating they provide eye checks as well as prescriptions. I don't know if anyone with a motorized wheelchair has ever been in that Wal-Mart to have their eyes checked because they were unable to provide the eye examination. We went that whole way and no one told us anything on the phone. Good news though, Wal-Mart was able to design Cathy's brand new glasses. I think she looks very pretty in her new glasses, but she thinks she looks like a dork. I tell her, if dorks are as pretty as you, I must like dorks.
It's been over a year since our incident with the MTA, but, our lawyer is making progress for our case. Right now, it is Southern California's rainy season, and it is truly coming down. The rain moves so fast that its hard for us to time when we want to go out. Today, unfortunatly, Cathy had to make a doctor's appointment in Northridge, right in the middle of this massive downpour. Cathy got very wet being outside for a brief amount of time. She is home and drinking plenty of hot fluids. We are looking forward to another great year and hope to hear from everyone soon.
Warm Regards,
Randy and Cathy Horton
Happy belated anniversary. You sound very happily married. Dan and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this year. Those wonderful years of marrage go very quickly.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Cathy's health, and for you as you give her support.
