Cade’s Cove

11 Months

Photo by Carlin To My Dearest Friend, and Love of my Life... The past 11 months that we have shared together have been the best moments of my life. I find that the more I get to know you, the more I love you! Even though it's been only 11 months, I feel like you have...

A Time Alone

The Most Amazing Pianist…my Erin

Our Lil Piano When I first met Erin, I knew that she played the piano, but what I did not know was how incredible her ability actually was. As I got to know here better at a conference in Texas, before we were courting...I was blown away! I can still remember the day...

As I stepped out onto our back porch this morning, I was greeted by the wonderful smell of Spring. The coolness of the morning made me appreciate the steaming cup of coffee that I held, as I listened to the birds sing their happy melody across the little valley that...
