Thanks for the replies gents. Yes, Donna is a great girl, Leon. I feel like I became a better person when I met her. She has been to 3 rallies with me now and has really enjoyed meeting some of the FJ brotherhood.

Neither of you forget how lucky you are...
For Diane and me the metaphor has always been that love's not a boulder, but a big pile of small stones. If you lose enough of the little stones, you don't have love anymore. Fight hard to keep the little things you love about each other and try in earnest to find more little stones to add since some of the little stones will get lost along the journey.
My dad said it much more eloquently when he told me "You'd be a damned fool to let this one go"... I pass that nugget to you both.
Best wishes,
Frank and Diane
Awww, how sweet! Congratulations!!! You're a lucky guy. I'm glad my wife is happy with riding, (she on a Honda Passport, :blum1:) there are so many who won't do two wheels... Now ya gotta find an FJ600 perhaps?
:good2:
Derek/Donna,
Wow...just WOW! I couldn't be happier to see this on the forum this morning. :yahoo: What a great couple you are and I wish you both a lifetime of happiness...Congratulations!
