I would like to introduce myself to all of you.  I met Michael last July in Meridian, Idaho at a medical facility.  He had a follow up appointment for his urostomy/ileostomy, while I was getting wound care treatment for my ankle.  We briefly met at this place once before but had not been able to chat.  On this particular July day, we had a few minutes to chat.  As I learned more about Michael's life, I realized that he is an amazingly unique person with a kind heart and good old fashioned values.  

Upon listening to how he sacrificed on behalf of his mother's need for dialysis in the midst of dealing with his bladder cancer, I began to highly respect and admire this wonderful man.  He genuinely cares for people.  I knew he was amazingly unique...and I did NOT want to lose track of him.  So...I asked for his phone number immediately after he was called in for his appointment.  I wanted to know more about him.  The crazy thing is that I was adamantly resolved to never get involved with another man at that time!  However, we have NOT been apart for more than a few consecutive days since the time we met up at his house shortly after our encounter in Meridian!  My interest grew even more when I learned he's a Diesel Mechanic.  I was already familiar in auto mechanics, as my dad was an auto mechanic himself doing it as a hobby.  I come with a small background in basic auto mechanics...my dad graciously taught me how to do a few maintenance repairs on my own car.  To further expand my knowledge base, I have recently joined the Mopar1973man website as Michael's partner, another site administrator and his "soon to be" wife!   Our plan is to get married this Spring!  We have discussed a few exciting ideas that we would like to implement in the future.  We are also working on improving this website for all of you.  Be safe out there on those roads!!  And...stay tuned!!

Yup it is true. Strange enough I was in full makeup when we met both times. She enjoys my artistry of my makeup and wigs which she continues to encourage me to learn more about the art.

 

Yeah after I did give Suzanna my number it seemed like there was so many questions and so much to talk about most of our phone calls went till 2am most nights. Strange some night we still just talk till early hours. Yes it's true we plan on getting married in the spring of the year.

 

Suzanna was amazed by what I've created with Beast. She enjoys good Cummins power. Now we both want to build into 3rd and 4th Gen lines hence why the active work on Thor to attempt to give me time to repair Beast which is nearly 500k miles now. There is a lot going on with software changes, server changes, and even things on the site. Suzanna and I are going to fix the website up and bring more newer generations to the article database. Right now I'm just cleaning up after moving servers to cut operational costs.

 

 

Congratulations you two! 

Thank you! Be sure to watch for the modifications we will be doing! Have a great day!

 Nice to finally "meet" you Suzanna! I've heard alot about you, Mike and have had many phone conversations where you have come up in topic. Glad to see you have both found some happiness during your medical issues. And CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming wedding!

 I hope to someday make my way west to meet Mike and now you in person. 

Congratulations to you both!

 

Life is too short to live alone.

 

Having a life partner to share the lows, highs, smiles, laughter, tears, as well as, the same interests and hobbies, all contribute to making each of us stronger, healthier, and gives us a sense of purpose to live for each other.

Congratulations
