5 Years Ago Today

5 years ago today I married my best friend and lover Amanda Jarman, at a beautiful ceremony on horseback at the top of Elkhorn Mountain in Estes Park, CO at 11:30am. We eloped and had Mom and Dad help us get ready at the Elkhorn Stables in the rooms where Teddy Roosevelt and his wife used to stay when they were out here. We have been through some amazingly wonderful times as well as some very difficult and dark times, but through it all we have stayed true to ourselves and our vows and because of it have a wonderful, healthy and happy marriage. I just wanted to put up a little tribute to my wife and tell her how much I love her and how lucky I am to have her as my partner. That and share it with some of my extended family on here and show off just how beautiful she was that day and still is. Love you baby and heres to 50 more years! 




All my best,
Brett

    Congratulations Brett and Amanda. I wish for you many more years of love and devotion. 

    My child bride and I celebrated our 56th anniversary in June so I can state, positively, that love and devotion are the key to much happiness. 

    That, and a fine cigar now and then......   B)
