A Little More About Mr. Kellington

William and I have been friends for a long time. His family was always close to me and even though Will and I are six years apart he and I just always hit it off. We spent long hours on the phone talking, horseback riding ( him teaching me), and for some reason he was the one with whom I could talk to about all the things in my life. And of course the inevidable happend - he wanted to date me! Yikes!! It was a big decision, but I could not imagine my life with out him.... And so yes, when he got a little older we dated. We pretty much knew that it would end in marriage so... less than a year later we tied the knot! He was 18 and I 24...
It was a lovely July afternoon. Not too hot, and not windy. We had a lot of friends and family come. I don't even know how many there were, but the church was pretty full. Mose Stolzfus from Charity Christian Fellowship in PA flew all the way out with his wife and married us. My sister Caitlin, Will's cuz Hannah and Sis Bonnie were my bridesmaids and Will's cuz James, friend David and Bro. Wesley were his groomsmen.
We headed over the mountain for our honeymoon. Stayed the night in Truckee and drove down to Clear Lake to the family cabin to stay a couple of nights. It was really relaxing. We rented a boat and went tubing - but unfortunatly ended up in a citation since we didn't have a 3rd person along to spot us!!! What a bummer. Had we known... It was great. We headed over to Fort Bragg, Cal and stayed awhile. We ate out, went horse back riding on the beach and enjoyed ourselves. We drove up 101 and visited my sister and looped back up to home. It was fun and made some great memories.
We bought a travel trailer to live in for a while, and since he was working for a friend near Auburn we parked it in a trailer park in Georgetown. I remember wondering where in the world he was taking me when we drove there for the first time together. It was very, very far back in the sticks. We lived there for a few months, but soon decided to go back up and live near family. And so here we are.... for now.
And a little more about William, his humor is surely Kellington. He's a really funny guy and loves to tease... He's got a great talent working with horses. I am amazed when I watch him train. He started a successful Window Cleaning business last year and is still trying to find his nitch in life... He loves Mexican food, music, and movies. And is learning to play the guitar. He already is a successful harmonica player! He really learns fast..... What more is there to say??? Getting married to him is one of the best things that has ever happend to me!
