2 Random People

San Antonio, Texas, United States
We are the most random people you will meet. Sometimes we just like to stay at home and be comfortable and some times we like a good adventure. We both know for certain that we like to help those less fortunate than ourselves (hence why we both work in similar fields) and that we have a unique backgrounds. Larry is intelligent, calm, and humble. Some of his favorite things are traveling, Batman, watching basketball, and making friends with the neighborhood cats. Bridgedette is smart, friendly, and a go getter. Some of her favorite things are watching Matt Lauer on the TODAY Show in the morning, eating cheeps and learning about new things. We have been laughing together since 2008 and plan to do so for the rest of our lives.

Because He Didnt Have to Be...........

Bridgedette's Thoughts:::

On this Father's Day, I dedicate this Blog to a REAL MAN! A man who opened his heart to kids that werent his and loved them as his own. There is a song that I think that represents my feeling s for my Dad......

"He Didn't Have To Be"- by Brad Paisley

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new,
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview,
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone,
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run.

I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old,
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go.

A few months later I remember lying there in bed,
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes,
And then all of a sudden, Oh, it seemed so strange to me, How we went from something's missing, To a family.

Lookin' back all I can sayAbout all the things he did for me, Is I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be.......


My Dad is the man who can do anything. In High School he took me out of class once to help me find a dress for the Military Ball.....and we found the matching shoes.....all in under an hour!! Not only was he able to always take us shopping for school clothes, watch our baseball games and make us breakfast to go; he was able to teach us about life. Life is not perfect, its what you make of it.

Parents are supposed to be the role models that you look up to as a child. They are not perefect people but when they are willing to share their imperfections, it is at that moment that we can learn and grow from them.

I am the lucky one that has been blessed with a Father who was willing to hold his ground when I wanted to do it "my way"......A Father who was there to wipe my tears, brings me birthday cakes, teach me to shoot a gun, encourage me to ride horses, and shows me that it is possible to open your heart.

He had a family before he met us, but he made it sure we were not 2 families, but that we were one. And for that I will always be greatful for.
