Tim and I went to Dinner for our 20th Anniversary.We went to Olive Garden.We also took Ashley with us. We could not bare leaving her out. We all  love Olive Garden! I got something different .'Mixed Geilled Medley .It was some steak,chicken and steamed veggies on a stick. Ashley had Cappettini Demarr. It was Clam,pasta and sauce. Tim had a Ravilli dosh. We ate salad and a Fondu which is a bread with a cheese sauce  to dip it in. And of course Salad and bread. I was so full I could hardly eat my meal! After we ate Tim surprised me with a gift of Pearls! A necklace and earrings! Ashley was in on the surprise. I can not wait to wear them!

Dating Days 1996

After we got home,Tim and I watched a movie called "The Help".Ashley had watched it with mom earlier today and they said it was good. Tim really enjoyed it too. Then it was 9 and after a short while we were pretty tired. Ashley's first day back to school after the Holiday Break is tomorrow. It is going to be very hard to wake up!

Tim and I met almost 21 years ago. He asked me to dance and after that he persued me and didn't give up! I can't say he persued too long ,because we were engaged a month later! On June 4,1991. Thank you Tim for hanging in there for me :)

Just before we met when Tim was still over seas during the first Desert Storm

Tim and I  were married on February 4,1992. Yes, 20 years  has gone by so fast. I can still recall all the years and what we did and how we loved working in the yard in Bradbury and even the house before that.  Bradbury was the one with the big yard and the slow and long slope. We would get out there and work for hours and the heat would be a killer. But we would manage to stay out all day and come in drenched in sweat.I would lay on the floor in the family room with the ceiling fan going full blast till I was cooled off. Then we would be back outside  the next day. We were young and could take all the humid heat Tennessee gave us. The humidity was the killer! We were so proud and head strong. Always beautifying. We had that common bond from the beginning. We both loved being outside, the trees,plants and flowers...

We had aour wedding ceramony at my parents house on my request.

Then after Tim spent his year of 1995 in Korea ,getting back to the US in March of 96. We had Ashley  11 months later! Ashley came along  and changed our lives for the better!! We grew up!! Ashley did not slow us down long we enjoyed sharing our love for being outside with her. We were still into landscaping and Tim even gave me a Gazebo on my 2nd Mothers day! We had roses which was kinda started by Tim's mom's love of roses and out first house where we planted them along the deck. So on Bradbury Rd. I had to have more and Tim's mom gave me some like she had.Then we got into the climbers. They were beautiful growing up the deck ,but Tim and I cursed the work under our breath. Before Ashley was 2 we moved to our house we live in now. Our passion continued though we swore we would not get carried away like before with all the flower beds. Somehow it over came us and we have as much as before. OK, more! We both feel our happiest when we can look outside and see all this beauty we  help create. The blooms,the ponds and fish and the birds that enjoy it all as much as we do. I am not happy to mention the deer! Since they enjoy eating my blooms! But, here we are 20 years later. We have grown up into middle aged adults, but we have never lost our love and passion that we started out with. We have gotten slower and talk about  gardening less, then we go build a pool! Only adds to more landscaping fun!

Mr. and Mrs. Tim and Pam Cash

We have much more in common than landscaping. Our goals were always on the same path. Yes, I fussed about the toys Tim wanted and yes he gave in to my wants more than I did his. I did finally break and Tim got the mustang,the truck,the bigger pond and finally the boat. NO MOTORCYCLES though.  We are both still extremely active and have been blessed with our 14 year old daughter Ashley,who added the cherry on our ice cream of life!

Now in our 40's we enjoy that boat Tim waited all these years for. We have found a few more interests. I work a REAL income making job in Real-Estate which Tim helps me with. Tim is retired from the Army but working on post civil service.  Our lives are far more wonderful than we could imagine.  Having our daughter and being able to stay close to my family, and afford to visit Tim's has been a real blessing.I hope and pray God gives us more great years like the last 20!!
