Tony's 22nd birthday. He had invited some friends and family over for a barbeque. Little did his quests know they were in for a surprise.... While Andy Grigg's song "You won't ever be lonely" played in the background, he got down on his knee in front of everyone and asked Kimmie to be his wife! He could be such a romantic and not a lot of people knew that side of him. |

Married Kimberley, his soulmate. What a great party we had to celebrate! They were married in a beautiful outdoor cermony with Kim's mom as matron-of-honor and Tony's dad as best man.
Tony and his buddies had a late,late, late night before the wedding and actually FORGOT the rings and had to use his dads wedding band to put on Kim's finger.
I had never seen Tony look more handsome or happy! They arrived at the reception in a horse drawn carriage and partied into the wee hours of the night. |

Another great day in our life. This time Tony knew what to expect. He brought a 12 pack of Keystone Light to the hospital; and this time he did pass out. But he got up just in time to welcome our 2nd daughter, Macyn Belle into the world. |
