Analyn And I First Met On September 25, 2001 U. S. Time, September 26 Philippine Time Via The Internet.  We Chatted For Several Hours Almost Every Night On Yahoo And I Would Call Her Several Times A Month As Well And Sometimes She Would Surprise Me Whenever My Phone Would Ring And Her Lovely Voice Was On The Other End.  We Would Also Send One Another Cards And Other Items Through The Mail On A Regular Basis.  After Six Months, My Friend David And I Made The Long Journey To The Philippines.  Analyn And I Had Introduced David To Analyn's Co-Worker Julia And In A Very Short Time They Both Discovered That They Had True Feelings For One Another.  Analyn And I Hit It Off In A Big Way Right From The Get Go!  So On March 6, 2002 David And I Departed For The Philippines.  About Twenty Five Hours Later We Finally Arrived In Manila And Analyn Came Running Up To Me With An Incredible Smile And Arms Open Wide!  My One Week Stay Was Not Long Enough For I Had Made So Many New Friends.  I Must Say That The Filipino People Are The Nicest People That I Have Ever Met.  Everywhere I Went I Was Always Truly Welcome And Was Treated Like A Celebrity.  I Cannot Say Enough About Analyn's Family, They Are Remarkable People Who Are Very Happy!  I Am Truly Blessed To Be A Member Of This Family!  After Our Short Week Was Up It Was Time To Return To Texas.  Three Months Later In June David And I Once Again Set For The Long Journey.  Analyn And Julia Once Again Greeted Us With Big Smiles Of Happiness And Open Arms!  This Time We Were There For Two Weeks But Was Still Not Long Enough.  I Really Grew To Know Analyn's Family Much Better And Made Even More Friends During This Visit.  Before We Knew It The Time Had Come To Return Home.  On October 30, 2002 My Life Took A Big Change For The Better When Analyn Arrived In Texas And On December 7, 2002 We Were Married.  Our Journey Continues!
