How this whole thing got started


OK so here is the scoop on how this whole thing got started. I was in the 6th grade when i first met her and let me tell you i was a dork. Anyway, i didn't see much of her until i moved to Andrews Texas in 1994. I was trying to graduate high school at the time and all i wanted was to date a cheerleader however that would prove more difficult than i anticipated. I was persistent and it would pay off later in this story. So i graduated and went on to college and we were separated again, not for long though as i discovered she too would be coming to college. So there we were both going to school at South Plains College in levelland. I wasnt real sure how to go about letting her know that i wanted to be with her so i said it with a kiss. That went over like a lead balloon, I got told to go home. Well i did and i moved back to Floydada to go to work on the family farm, and it would be a couple of years before we would get together again. While Shannon Bailey, Billy Baron and I all lived together i thought one night i should call RaNay and see what they are doing after-all she had two roomates and so did I. hhmmmmmm! So we called and they came over. It could not have worked out much better. I finally got my chance with RaNay and Shannon had found his wife, he just didnt know it yet. This is a picture of RaNay and me from that most important night and here is one of Shannon and LaRae future Mr. & Mrs. Shannon Bailey. So time would go on and everybody was happy. This picture was taken on New Years Eve 2001. In two years from the photos the two couples would be Mr.'s and Mrs.'s. Two ole boys from floydada married two girls from Andrews.




So Congrats to Shannon and LaRae. As i write this i have now been married to my bride for four years and 1 day. So Happy Anniversary "Yesterday"!
