11;30 am off the plane I come and go through customs( wow that's an experience in its self) from  there straight on to pick up my luggage.. I am shaking in my shoes by this time.. I could look out through enclosed glass and see all these people waiting for the people who got off the plane to finish picking up their luggage and come meet them... When I first went to pick up my luggage I didn't see Martin , but then while standing there I looked up and there he was, this handsome man standing all dressed in  a nice suite and holding a bunch of roses... Wow first impression was good I thought to my self, Now if I don't fall to me knees from excitement before I get out there I'll be ok.. It took me forever to get my luggage didn't think it was ever going to come, but finally it did and out the glass doors I go in to the arms of the man I've wanted what seemed like an eternity to meet. I could tell Martin was as nervous as I was when he hugged me and gave me a kiss..  Yes this was nice a kiss to be our first. We both looked in each others eyes as if to make sure it was really happening, then we hugged again and grabbed my luggage and to get something to drink their. I had my first Cappuccino with him at the airport. Little did I know hat this would soon be my favorite drink to drink while I was there.. (These people know how to make a good Cappuccino let me tell you) We Americans could sure learn to take a lesson form them on this...LOL..Martin and I finished our Cappuccino's , then he took me to his car and it was there for the first time that he kissed me so passionately to one of our songs ( First time every I say Your face).. I never will forget him putting the song on then taking his hands and bringing them to my face as he held it and kissing me so softly while that song played... Well  its at this time that I know in my heart that all this nervousness was for nothing, this was such a tender moment for us and one I'll never forget as long as I live.. The next 8 days were more than anyone woman could ask for...never have I been pampered and treated like a lady with such respect and showed so much love in my life.. Each day I  thanked god for sending me this man that I prayed so hard for...Each day I felt as if I was in someone else's dream and any moment I would wake up.. I can not begin to tell you how it felt to be with him...(My baby) Such a warm, passionate, sincere, kind loving man .. how lucky can one lady be...(Thank You God )

The first 4 days we stayed in Haarlem right outside of Amsterdam and we had so much fun.. Martin showed me many nice things while we were there. You can look at our picture pages and see the photos that we took while I was there, I will tell a little about each picture on those pages to.. We left there on Friday and went down to the Dutch coast to a little town called Vlissingen. Such a romantic place this was...I absolutely loved it and hopefully one day we can have our honeymoon in this wonderful place.. be sure to look at our photos from there as well.. We stayed in this little town till Monday then returned back to Haarlem to the same motel and stayed till I left on Tuesday.. This was a hard day for me and very emotional. It was all I could do to keep from breaking down and telling Martin all my fears.. I didn't want my dream to end, felt as if I were in heaven. I to was very afraid that I would never see him again.. Don't ask me why especially after what we shared in those 8days,  but I was... The day he took me to the airport I just wanted to scream that I didn't want to leave him.. But knew that  I had to get back to work and my family and he needed to do the same as well. It was hard to say good bye to him and he felt the same, but promising me we would soon see each other again. I left and boarded my plane wanting to just crawl in a corner somewhere and cry. My trip home wasn't so bad either although I felt as if my heart was ripping out of my body. When I arrived in Knoxville at the airport later that night my son and daughter-in -law were there to pick me up  could tell I was very sad and knew that things would never be the same for me again..
