Quick get me my insulin!

You guys are so cute.
Here's hoping the love you have for each other lasts a thousand centuries and grows stronger every second.

Just keep in mind, children are noisy, messy, expensive, they break things, and they remain kinda stupid till they're in their twenties. :)

Geez!
Thanks for posting those pics kdenon01.
You both look amazing.
I hope I can also find someone too love and too hold one day.

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human

Just dance. Don't worry what others think. We did the same as the pictures show. Now I am heavier and I just stradle Mike like a horse. Taking of the arm rests can help if he dosen't mind.
