Family

I am blessed with a lovely wife, Cindy, a son, Josh and a daughter, Grace.

Cindy is my beloved wife who hails from the USA. Jasper, Indiana to be precise. She and I met online, just talking as friends do at first until we realised we had something special. We started talking on the phone (those bills !!) and also sent photos to each other. After a while we decided to meet in person, of course with her being in the USA and me in England it took a bit of planning :D.

We worked it all out and I booked a flight. In the summer of 1997, the 21st of June was the date, I flew out to see her. At that time she was living in Mississippi so I flew in to Atlanta, Georgia.

I fell in love with her again when I met her and we spent a wonderful summer together. It was soon that I helped Cindy move back up to Indiana where I met her wonderful family. On the journey from Mississippi to Indiana I was able to see quite a few states.

Then for the Christmas of 1997, Cindy came over to England and met my family. We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years and it wasn't the last :)

For Christmas of 1998, I went over to Cindy in Indiana again and it was lovely to see her family and spend Christmas with them. While I was there, Cindy and I got our engagement photos taken.

In the following summer, I was able to emigrate to the USA to finally be with her for good and she did me the honor of becoming my wife on the 9th of September 1999.

The story of how my immigration took place can be found here.

Cindy and I just recently celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

Our son Josh was born in September 2002. He's grown from a lovely baby into a lovely little guy that is now in first grade at school. He's reading and writing well already. Josh likes playing soccer and we also enjoy playing Xbox 360 games together too.

Our daughter Grace was just recently born in September 2009. She's a lovely baby.
