My Valentine, David Thayne Bellessa.The story: Soon after I moved to Midway some mutual friends told me their best friend had recently lost his wife and they thought we would be a great couple. They continued to mention him over the next three years with little interest on either of our parts. On the Fourth of July 2003 Tom Whitaker (the matchmaker) met me at the town breakfast and asked if David had ever called me. Apparently some major pressure was put into place. When I got home that evening there was a call saying he promised Tom he would call. Our first date was the next night to the Oakley Rodeo..with fireworks. It seemed we were both ready, the timing was right and we knew right away things were good. Our 5 1/2 years together have been such a blessing to me. He is kind, easy going, witty and emotionally and spiritually strong...and handsome.

Amy calls David the baby whisperer since he is so good with kids. (except Vera who cries every time he looks at her)
We've enjoyed the nature surrounding our home.
We've been on some fun trips together
We have the opportunity to work together selling real estate..in the worst market in History. David is great with clients and keeps things lively around the office.
Our annual "Warren Miller" anniversary night out. I was such a good sport to learn to ski and hit the slopes weekly for the first few years of our marriage. This year we attended the movie together as usual but I now mostly stay home and clean and do errands on the ski days. I might go on a sunny, just perfect snow day.
