MARRIED 20 YEARS!!!!

Yep, 20 years now!! What an awesome, wonderful man I have for eternity! Little things that he does everyday make me fall more in love with him, or just maybe they are little reminders of how much or why I love him! Either way I am so glad he is mine!!!! We dated a couple of times but became good friends for about 2 years writing letters, talking and hanging out sometimes. He was not a member and that was my main concern. But when he stopped going to his church, I asked if he missed attending church and he said, "Yes", so I asked if he wanted to come with me to mine! He had a lot of questions, so he agreed to talk to the missionaries. Once they had answered his concerns...the rest is history!!! I asked at the right time...it had been what he was looking for!!

Some of the things I love about him!!

He is always considerate of my feelings first!

When someone's feelings are hurt he wants to fix it right away!

He tells me he loves me everyday and calls be Beautiful!

The kids and I have no doubt he loves us! He is very devoted!

He is the best storyteller and has a story for EVERYTHING! He is great at making them up or telling a factual or informational story!

He loves technology and loves to figure things out on his own...mostly the computer!

He can make a joke of any situation, especially during our trials!

He loves music (he is my rock star) and is very talented at it! Plays by ear... but has learned to read the notes on his own.

He does not like to watch sports...unless his kids are playing!

I think our personalities complement each other well!

He really works hard when he needs to, but loves to play when he can!

We can still just sit and talk for hours, and not just about the kids!

He will do all the driving when he can, at night during the week and then all weekend!

Here are songs that he wrote for me.

"Your Man"
(Written while dating: 1990) (Recorded in 1999) (Backup vocals: Jerry and Darrelyn Rowland)




I know it’s been a while
Since I told you how I feel
But I can tell it when you smile
My love for you is real
Sometimes it may have seemed I didn’t care
I want the world to know, everyone, everywhere,
I am….

Your man and nothing’s gonna change it
Your man and I feel so glad to say it
Oh I may not always show it
But I want the world to know I am your man….

When I hold you close to me
My hear just sets on fire
And I want so much to be The man that you desire
Don’t think you know what your smile does to me
But I want you to know, how thankful I am to be….

Your man and nothing’s gonna change it
Your man and I feel so glad to say it
Oh I may not always show it
But I want the world to know I am your man….

I never thought that I would fall in love
Never knew how happy I could be
But it’s moments like this,
when I’m holding your hand I want you forever with me….

Your green eyes say so much
When you look at me that way
And I hunger for your touch
Promise me you’ll always stay
I’ll never let you get away from me
Cuz my love is so strong
Gonna keep going on being….

Your man and nothing’s gonna change it
Your man and I feel so glad to say it
Oh I may not always show it
But I want the world to know I am your man….


"Happy Colored World"(Lyrics Written: 2001) (Music Written: 1980's)
( Recorded in 1999 )




Show me the way to your happy colored world
That’s the place there where I can have you for my girl
I’d be so happy to kick it with you
I’m sure that we would find fun things to do
In that happy place I came from a world that was dark and was grey
But that all disappeared when you love came my way
There were once storm clouds encircling me
Now there are rainbows where they used to be
It’s a happy place – it’s a happy colored world
Show me a sign telling me it’s alright
And if I leave now I could be with you tonight
Sharing a laugh over something we’ve heard
Living our lives just as free as a bird In that happy place, I can see your face
We’ll live out our days – ooh in that
Happy colored world
Happy colored world


"And it Wouldn't Be the Same" (Lyrics Written: 2010) (Music Written: 1980's)
(Addison background vocals and acoustic guitar solo) (Recorded 2010)





Back when we first met each other many years ago
We started out as just friends
Going thru breakups and make ups
We finally made our amends
And now I love you I love you
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you didn’t feel the same
Growing together in true love once thought impossible
Learning to love a new way
But sharing love make us stronger than we ever were
We both see happier days
And I love you I love you
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you didn’t feel the same
Right now things feel like their perfect as they could ever be
But they say All Things Must Pass
I’m glad that we have each other for eternity
Our love thru all time will last
Yeah I love you I love you
And it wouldn’t be the same
If you didn’t feel the same
