WOW, it has been Three month, so let me catch you up. Dawn and James were fused together by God on December 11, 2004. Faithful friends came from near and far to see this miracle, but some of the friends could not attend. We have a video that tells the full story. The human aspect is Dawn an enthusiastically artistic lady merged with James, who's human sole is based in his work of program logic. To James flat walls are great, but to Dawn flat walls a prison makes.

Main events:

There are several untold stories between our meeting and our wedding, but I start this tale with Dawn and James as one:

We honeymooned in Columbia, CA (a historic gold town state park). We attended the miners Christmas parade the next day and spent the night in Turlock. After a weekend honeymoon, moving Dawn's treasures from Turlock to El Dorado was the top priority. We cleaned out the Shangralau (a 12X60 house trailer formally used as a bunny barn) and begin storing her furniture there, until the house could be made animal free. We moved her from the townhouse and cleaned it spotless. On the following Monday, I cleared the townhouse lease inspection for Dawn and brought the last items to our new home.

The day we returned from the honeymoon three big pigs were on the loose, but this will be a separate tale to tell.

The Saturday after our wedding Dawn flew the coop for a rest…from the beginning Dawn had told me that she had planned Christmas in Tulsa, OK, with her children (and families) David and Alicia, at Jennifer's house. The Lord blessed Jennifer and Jeremy with Mathew Allen Cash (MAC) on Christmas day, a little over a week early. Though Dawn did not want to leave me for Christmas; she was glad she did. The departure from the Modesto airport was a fogy limousine ride to San Francisco, but otherwise uneventful. I met her return flight on New Years day and I had not completed the arrangements, but I had several spectacular options. As we sped toward home, we were able to arrange to stay for the last night of a bed and breakfast in Jackson, CA with an in-room spa in an 1850 setting. It was great and Dawn was WOWed.

Dawn got a job as s school bus driver and went about changing her name and all of that stuff. We completed the 40 Days of Purpose study at the Cameron Park Christian Center where we now worship the Lord. In February we poured 9.5 yards of concrete for the Dawn shed 12X18, a hot tub pad 9X9, and a 18X18 car work pad (work on some of the 20 cars on the property) and a small drive way strip. We called in all of the favors for help with the concrete, several people responded. Dawn and James built a 12X18 shed from used garage door wood for Dawn's past; the shed is a sturdy, sound, water proof structure. With some generous help from Dan and Peter from our church we moved a 10X30 storage unit with Dawn's past to the Dawn shed. We will go threw things from our pasts together and put some on Ebay and some will go to a garage sale.

The home front, Dawn moved in as Joshua moved out in preparation of his marriage in July. John and Roxanne's plan to move has met with reality and they will be staying while John looks for better employment. Working at Wal-Mart does not pay enough to live on your own, but some other positions are opening up. They have a baby on the way in June. Everything is so pretty here in spring time, but the winter storms provide for inside activities most of the time. Dawn is planning and planting the gardens we just hand trenched a water line 90 feet to the other side of the front fence. Dawn is planning a walking trail around the perimeter of the ten acres, where we will place quiet places (bench and tables).

Dawn and I are having a great time with our fast paced life as we are growing through over 100 years of life experiences BETWEEN us. We are growing in the Lord together and serving His Church. Work is challenging as I move from database and forms applications into web applications. Dawn is taking a part-time senior citizen busing job, Dawn thinks it will be great.

We have a large list of projects and maintaining the web page in one of them. Check back as we finish our before marriage stories (JAMES and DAWN below) and amplify and continue this one.
