Engagement Photo from 2002<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ten years ago today I married my girlfriend of 7 years, Brenda Brattleaf and made her my wife in front of our closest friends and family. This weekend we celebrate our first decade of marriage.<\/p>\n

As in any long relationship there have been ups and downs, but we always stayed together and worked it out. Though it all, the love we have for each other has kept us together. Our kids, Andrew Max and Sydney, are blessings on top of blessings and I wouldn’t change a thing.<\/p>\n

I love you Brenda. You are my pretty pretty princess.<\/p>\n
