Thanks everybody. I, too, find myself thanking the Mudcat, for more reasons than I can enumerate here. But especially for this amazing man I'm going to be marrying in a few days. I think everyone deserves to have someone as good, as funny, as intelligent, and as loving and kind as Rob in their life. But they can't have this one... he's mine ;-)

We both feel that this song pretty much says it all for us...

ONE TIME ONLY
(Tom Paxton)

I spent my hungry young years running wild
There was a lot I had to do
And I spent cities like a handful of change
But I never quit looking for you

CHORUS --

One time and one time only
Been such a long time lonely
One time and all time it will be
Been waiting such a long time
Each time has been the wrong time
Until you came to me

I looked for you in every face I saw
I could not find you any where
Then finally one day I quit trying at all
Looked up and saw you standing there

(Chorus)

I don't mind telling you what's on my mind
It's no big secret any more
I have no plans at all for moving on
That's one thing I never been for
