Heading Down The Aisle After that night, things just flew by at a pace that astounded me. All of Judy’s co-workers were almost as excited as she was, and I think a couple of them were even more excited. Word spread faster than a dry season fire, and everywhere I went, someone was congratulating me.... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Sixteen
The Setup It was Steve’s turn to cook dinner, and he was busy getting everything around. I began to set the table and then finished the paperwork for the last run we had made. “Well, maybe we could have the girls over here on the night they are off and we are working.

I Remember Judy - Part Eleven
In retrospect, it was this trip that put proposing to Judy in my brain. We had seen so much together and would spend just shy of ten thousand miles together without a single spat in some sweltering weather.

I Remember Judy - Part Ten
We headed south toward Los Angeles because I had decided I was now properly awake to drive again. It was a long drive, and we were tired when we arrived. I’m not exactly sure how we got there, but we ended up in Santa Ana. As we tried to figure out what to do next, Judy spotted a nice-looking hotel... Sign in to see full entry.
