Yes, as Nettie has reported, Denise and I took off the other day and got married. As some of you close to me know, I met the most wonderful woman just a little over a year ago. Denise and I are a match made in heaven. For the first time in my life I have someone who loves me for who and what I am. We share so many common interests it would eat up bandwith to post them all. Denise is a talented, creative artist. She paints, writes poetry, plays guitar, writes songs, makes all kinds of really cool jewelry and has become and dang good pinstriper. In her, I have found not only a sweatheart, a lover, a best friend but also somebody who shares my warped sense of humor. We stay up all hours of the night just goofing off. To say that life is good would be a massive understatement We had changed our wedding date so many times that I've lost track. We finally decided to just go ahead and do it. We drove up to Knoxville and got married in Denise's daughters apartment. It was a lovley little ceremony. The bride and groom wore tie dies, jeans and hiking boots. I spent the honeymoon sick in bed with kidney stones and was out of sorts for a good long while. Sorry it took so long to get around to posting this...beleieve me I've been dying to let everybody know just how happy I am We hope to make a meet in the not too distant future so you guys can get to meet my lovely bride.
BTW, for what it's worth to the lonely hearts out there, Denise and I met on Match.com and would heartily recommend it

You two looked so content. Just one question. Can she pay the bills? You know how us artists people are. If it wasn't for QuickBooks I'd be neck high in overdue bills.

I can relate to your happiness. It is the greatest feeling in life to feel and be loved by someone you can call your soul mate.
Been there, done that but didn't get quite the cool shirts... although I bet Dana would love them!
The best to you both!

George and Denise, your happiness is beaming right thru even those shirts!
Denise, after talking to you briefly on the phone, and from what George has said about you, I know you are definately "one of us" with regards to fitting into our little group of Letterhead chix!
George is one of our favourites around here, so we are all very happy to see that smile on his face! You've really lit him up!
George ... embrace those rainbows my friend!
Cheers! Nettie
