Hello again from C's house!

Howdy Folks!
I just woke up a few minutes ago from a much needed night of sleep.
Me and C had to get up early so I could go to the V.A. yesterday. I also have a apointment there tommorow on my way home.

While we were leaving the V.A. I asked C to marry me when the time got right and she said yes!!! It could be as long as two years untill the time gets right. I have to take care of my dad and she is respecting her daughters wishes to stay up here and not change schools. Her daughter is 15 and we want the best for her too. For us the time is not right now. But we are engaged. If it takes two years, it will be O.K. Two years may seem like a long time, but it is short in the scheme of things. Me and C have been going out 10 months and talking for 11 months, and it hardly seems like any time at all. This will be my first engagement. If I plan to marry, I want it to last forever. I may be idealistic in my thinking, But I am going to give this my best shot and so is she. I think with Gods help and patience it will work out great.

Well I know this is a short one, but I wanted to let everybody know!!!
Y'all take care now, Ya hear!!!

Hello from C's

Hey Y'all,
Tonight I am at C's house. I have been visiting and will be going back home tommorow. Today we went to the V.A. clinic out of town and her mother came along. We had a good time, but both me and C are totally worn out. Tonite we have been enjoying watching tv and relaxing. C has been getting some work done for herself with the computer.

I wanted to ride the motorcycle here and had even planned on it. I dropped it by the shop last weekend had my wrench look over it so it would be ready to go. I was looking at the weather and it was looking like rain today and tomorow. So far I have been here since monday and I have yet to see a drop of rain. Not saying that it won't happen on my way back home. But I didn't bring the bike cause I did't want to take a chance on riding all the way back home in the rain and getting more sick than I already have been. O.K. so some of my friends are reading this and laughing to themselvs and thinking "cornbread is a fair weather rider", "He's a whimp". Well I will have to say that when it comes to getting wet and riding in the rain, I hate it. Call me a whimp if ya wanna, But cornbread only rides in the rain when he has to. If I had brought the bike, it probably would have stormed. Since I brought the truck it will, of course, be dry.

I must say I am a fortunate man to have C in my life. Is she perfect? No she has up's and downs just like everybody else. I have found in life that sometimes it is the right thing to do to believe in someone. Right now C is going thru some things that I can't share here. Keep her in your prayers. I love her and believe in her charecter and I belive in her. She is honest and has good standards in her life. One day when it is the right time and her and I will know it, I probably make her mrs. cornbread. Till then we are growing together quite well with each other. I know she will read this after I publish it and we have talked about all this in depth. That's one of the things that is positive in our relationship. We talk. There are things I share with her that I don't share with anyone else.

Well I am tired and rambling on here. I say that as I *yawn*. Y'all take care and I hope your lives are going well!!

Here's the scoop on what I have been sitting on for six months.

Hey Y'all!

As of wednesday march 7th, I will no longer be a patchholder in a motorcycle club. It all started when about six months or so ago I showed up as I always do for the poker runs that the club participates in. I was running on a two hour nap cause I had to work the night before at the bar. I was so sleepy that I could not stay awake every time I sat down and my brothers in the club were having trouble waking me up. My boss, the president of the club made the decision that I was unsafe to ride in the pack and I needed to go get some rest. He was right. C had been telling me the same thing, but I was being hard headed and not listening to her.

With my hours I work at the bar and the days I work there being thursday thru sunday it has become impossible for me to do anything with the club. I took a six month leave of abscence with the club to see if the bar would do well and if I was still working there. Time has passed, the six months is up and nothing has changed except the bar is doing very well. I talked it over with the boss of the club and I will be out of the club in good standing. I have something to turn in with the club logo on it and my vest will be returned to me minus the rockers and the patch.

I still have my friends there in the club and I get to see some of them once a month when the abate meetings are held at the bar. My boss at the bar is in the club. He is able to participate with the club now that he has trained his son to handle buisness there at the bar while he is gone. I know it is kind of ironic, but if I don't work, I don't get paid. That was becoming a problem too because I was mising two nights of work a month to go to meetings. My boss was cool with it, but I need the money.

Well Thats the story on that. Life has been a little rough with my dad in the nursing home. I have also been sick alot in the last three months. C has been taking care of me the best she can. There is more news to tell, but it will have to wait till next time.

Y'all take care,

Cornbread
