A Luv Story Born from Tech Support

We were married on March 26th, 1994.

Hmm our love story.

We will have to think about that.

We had been friends for a long time.

We met at work and had the same social group of friends.

We were the odd couple that always got paired together at work parties.

I met him when I got a job that required a PC.

I knew nothing about computers other than I took a beginner course on IBM basic.

 I needed help and someone told me to call Udo.

I did, he then became my mentor and best friend.

We got engaged in the parking lot of the pub we frequented after work

 just before Christmas.

Udo and I have done a lot of thinking on your questions.

We had a complicated courtship in that he and I had been friends for a long time. He originally became my mentor at work as he specialized in IT,

and I was being thrown into it without a life jacket.

But really the glue was our friends.

We had the same circle of friends and we always got paired together.

Our joke was he married me for my truck, and I accepted because he had a garage.

(I had a truck stolen when I lived in an apartment).

We can’t remember our first official date or our first “kiss” …

But it was a love that grew throughout the years…

and still continues.

Our struggles have been few.

We both lost our jobs during an outsourcing of our dept,

but we were able to find another job within the organization.

We just weren’t working side by side anymore. Maybe that helped?

But we were already married by then.

We both had loss of parents. His mother, then both my parents.

Now we are caregivers to my brother who is recovering from a closed head injury.

We also were introduced to a whole new family in 2006.

I was adopted and discovered my birth mother along with

5 sisters, a brother and 12 nieces & nephews.

(My one sister Rose and her husband Aaron will be joining us)

they were married 6 days after us and we are both celebrating 25 yrs of marriage.

Our goals are to travel the world.

A Luv Story Blessing Born from Tech Support

If you can stand to be around a work mate full time…

that’s rare,

To find a Soulmate at work is even more rare,

To get along well enough at work to still want to get married…

Well, that certainly proves that your relationship is compatible!

Years ago, it would behoove a gal to marry a knight in shining armor…

These days, it’s better to marry your very own Tech Support.

Computery thingyz are way more scary

than broad swords and battle axes every were

:-O

What a fitting place to begin your Marital Bliss,

Right there in the parking lot of where the bonding of True Love began.

Everything that has happened… Had to.

So losing your job, getting rehired and not working side by side,

My have kept it fresher… as they say,

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

After 25 years… there is a lot of ‘Life’ that is learned.

As our parents pass,

their wisdoms and experience continue

to help guide our mindfulness

in ways that can only be transmitted and received

by the bond of a close relationship.

Coming full circle to reunite with your birth mother and huge family

allows a transcendence of healing and growth

to move upwards and onward towards the infinite potential

that awaits just over the endless horizons you will experience

as you travel the world.

Slow down to the rhythm of your own Zenfull groove

Experience the perfection in the ever-present moments together…

This, is the contentment of Eternal Marital Bliss.

Take this groove with you as you travel the world.

Be the ambassadors of unconditional Love

Saving Humanity one smile at a time

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
