Is there such a thing as happiness beyond words? Well 
               to me there is, I haven't updated this site in 
               nearly 6 weeks since moving to be here with Woody and
               the boys. Why is that?  Well getting settled in and 
               having a new family true has taken most of my time, 
               but truly I can't even begin to put into words how 
               wonderful my life is and it just grows more beautiful 
               each and every day.

               I absolutely love Indiana, it's so beautiful here and 
               being with the man I love means more to me than 
               anything else in this world. I have never known anyone
               with a heart so true and this man I love. He takes 
               such wonderful care of me and he moves me in ways that
               I never knew I could be. 

               I adore the boys and grow closer to them both each and 
               every day, the sound of their laughter when they    
               come home from school each and every day always brings 
               a smile of thanks to my lips. A thanks to having them 
               be a part of my life and to this wonderful man who 
               raised them so well and is now sharing these precious 
               gifts with me, how can I ever say thank you enough?

               Things haven't been without a few rough spots,  
               settling in is always difficult for everyone involved, 
               but I'd take those rough spots each and every day over 
               not being here. I searched all my life for that one 
               person who would make me come alive, who would love me
               and let me give all my love back to him. Woody is the 
               man of my dreams, the one that I searched for all of 
               my life and even at that he's made me see that my 
               dreams didn't even begin to compare with the realities 
               of how wonderful being by his side and in his life 
               could be.

               I dedicate this page to Woody, my love, my best 
               friend, my confidant, my playmate. We have laughed 
               ourselves silly and he has held me close and chased 
               away nightmares, taken care of me when I was sick, 
               dried my tears whether they be in sadness or so full 
               of love that they ran down my cheeks. Each and every 
               day that he comes home, yes home, to our home we share 
               together I feel that same giddy rush of happiness, so 
               glad to see him yet again. I look into those eyes, see
               that smile upon his face and his arms go around me and
               I know that all is truly right in my world.

               It has taken me over 30 years of my life to find this 
               peace, this happiness and this sense of belonging and
               I can truly say if it had taken me 70 years I would 
               have gladly done it just to have this time in his 
               arms, in his life and in his heart. I've grown, 
               struggled and gone through many things in my life and 
               now have come to know true and complete happiness. I 
               have many things I've done in my life to look back on
               and be proud of, but my greatest accomplishment is 
               this, my love and my family. I take time each and 
               every day to say a silent prayer of thanks for the
               greatest gift that any person could ever receive, 
               knowing now that I have truly been blessed.

               We laugh, we tease and above all we love a lot, hands 
               outstretched just to simply have our fingers touching, 
               our eyes moving to the other, a smile upon our lips. 
               When he looks at me that special way I shiver inside
               and never have I felt more loved than when in his 
               arms. This man moves me in every way, do you know He 
               is the only man who has ever given me flowers upon our 
               first time together?  He is the only man who has ever 
               done something special for me on sweetheart's day 
               (*laughs*  i didn't even know there was one!!!) and He 
               is the only person when he leans over, his lips 
               brushing my ear to whisper..."I love you Jul" that I 
               had no doubts, no fears or insecurities over, because 
               I believe him with all of my heart.

               So this page is just to let all my friends, all my 
               family know I am alive and well and I am truly in 
               love and happy with my love, my life and my family. I 
               dedicate this to the most amazing man in the world, to
               you Woody...I love you with all that I am. I also am 
               putting up the words and music to this song. You spoke
               to me these words and I cherish you just as much, more 
               so every moment of every day...I love you!!!

Cherish

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could
Cherish as much as I do yours

Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
The words that could make you want me
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
That could make you hear, make you see
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
Who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
And gaze into your eyes

Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
Mold you into someone who could
Cherish me as much as I cherish you

And I do cherish you
And I do cherish you

Cherish is the word

Cherish
