What Happens in Vegas.....

.....Sometimes lasts ten years!   

October 7th, 2000 we sealed the deal at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas.  

80 of our friends and family enjoyed the long Columbus Day weekend, celebrating with us, hanging by the pool and gambling the night away.  

It was so much fun.  

Tiger Woods was having his annual celebrity charity function the same night and we saw Charles Barkley, Seal and some other pseudo-celebrities that night.  

After the wedding we all headed out to the Mandalay casino and Tom said Tiger checked out his new bride.  Little did we know...huh?  

10 years fast forward, a move to and from LA, 3 apartments, one house, job changes, 2 babies, construction nightmares, new business 

and here we are, almost as broke as the day we said "I do"....  

All I could afford to get Tommy were a pair of shoes, but as my anniversary card said to him, shoes can be romantic, too.  

If he did not wear shoes the night we met, Rock Bottom Brewery's bouncers would not have let him in the door, thus no fateful meeting.  

His shoes kept him strolling back to my apartment door, they walked down the aisle with me, helped me to Prentiss Maternity Hospital and through the door of our first house. 

Shoes, to me, represent the journey through life.  

Life is still challenging for us, with the house nightmare not over yet and our little business still in the scary, survival stage, but we know that everything is gonna be alright.  

I have walked 10 years with my love 

 and I hope the road is long....
