2001   

 


2003 was full of peaks and valleys.  I was utterly depressed in Beaumont and really hating life.  So I made a major change by moving to South Carolina.  Lizzie and I were separated for a few months while she finished her school year and I got settled.  I missed her terribly.  My start in a new state was rather rocky but I stayed the course and found myself the happiest I've been in a very long time.  I met Tillman and he has been a Godsend.

Me and my girl in Beaumont. Picture of me taken on my PC Camera, 01/2003. Our cats, Sammy and Sylvester.
Liz and Sammy, taking a nap. Easter.  Liz, inside the Warren Loose Conservatory at the Tyrrell Park garden center, holding a baby chick. Recital night in May!  My aunt Lisa came to see Liz perform.
Another pic of Liz and Lisa, before heading to the Julie Rogers Theatre. At the theatre, Liz and her best friend Cynthia pose for a pic in the dressing room while waiting to go on stage. After her last performance, we gave Liz flowers to celebrate her accomplishments.
Me and Liz in the audience during intermission. Another pic of us on recital night. Jimmy came to see Liz dance too.  This is a pic of them after we got home.  She was HYPED UP.
See what I mean?  She was really wound up... One more picture before going to bed. Liz and her grandma in Liz's K-5 class at Cathedral Christian School.
Liz, with her teacher Mrs. Harmon.  Liz won the Music award for her grade level. As part of the program, the kids first came out in cowboy attire to perform some songs. After walking across the stage to get her diploma, Liz needed some help keeping her hat on.
Liz, after the ceremony. Liz, at Joe's Crab Shack.  This was her last visit before leaving for SC.  She learned the Macarena dance. Liz, still at Joe's, playing on the playground.
Liz, playing on a slip & slide in  grammy's backyard. Liz and I visited Fort Sumter in Charleston.  Did you know this sight is considered an archeological ruin? Me, at the fort.
Liz, with one of the cannons on display. Liz, at Patriot's Point.  That's the East Cooper Bridge in the background. Another photo of Liz at P.P., with the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier in the background.
Liz, inside the USS Clamagore, a diesel attack submarine. Liz, on a boogie board at the beach on Hunting Island. Liz found lots of live sand dollars in the ocean.
Lizzie, trying her hand at scrambling eggs. Lizzie with Dora the Explorer, at the Carowinds theme park in North Carolina. Liz with Sponge Bob at Carowinds.
Liz is such a character.  We won a stuffed Sponge Bob at Carowinds.  She decided one morning to have breakfast with her new best toy... My mother came to SC for a visit.  This is a pic of her and Lizzie at the Riverbanks garden center in Columbia. Lizzie, sitting at the fountain in the garden center.
There is some very interesting plant life at the Riverbank Gardens.  These are Cat Whiskers... My friend Bubba and me at the first tailgate party of the USC 2003 football season. Lenny, me, and Bubba at the tailgate party.
Lizzie on her birthday.  She got a fairy costume! The big prize, a keyboard for Liz to practice her piano lessons at home. Lizzie shows us what she's learned so far.
South Carolina State Museum party! Sponge Bob cake. The girls play in the kids playroom for a while for heading to the party room.
Liz with Britney, Veronica, and Adrienne.  They got to do some coloring activities while waiting for everyone else to arrive. Ryan, Colin, Sarah, and Tori, coloring at their table. Next, the kids went to the science lab to perform some experiments!  This is a pic of Veronica, Tori, and Sarah sitting at their stations.
Liz and Britney, learning to make slime! Liz, enjoying her party. Ryan and Colin make tidily winks while Colin's dad looks on.  Colin and Lizzie are sweet on each other...  :)
The kids got to take part in a static electricity experiment.  We really got a laugh when Ryan tried the machine. Halloween 2003.  Ryan, Adrienne, and Lizzie before trick-or-treating. Liz playing a Bratz game on Tillman's gameboy.  He bought it for Liz to occupy her time during our trip to Atlanta for Thanksgiving.
We took Liz to the Children's Museum downtown in Atlanta.  Liz had a blast!  This is a pic of her enjoying one of many activities they have for kids to have fun and learn something new. Liz liked this attraction very much. Smile for the camera!
Doing some artwork on a wall... Till and Liz taking a close look at a T-Rex skull. Liz and Till pose in front of a picture made out of stamps.  This is one of my favorite pics of them.
Tillman's LOTR birthday cake.  He's obsessed with the trilogy. We had a dinner party at Sun Ming, Till's favorite restaurant.  He's licking a hobbit...
Till's friend, Kyle at the B-day party.  He's a real cool cat! Till got a Rush DVD.  Apparently, he's a big fan. Christmas pictures taken at Sears.
I hate the screen they used to create this 'blurred' effect.
Liz decorating the tree. Sammy adds his touch...
Christmas Eve.  Liz got the Bratz Jade Spring Fling doll.  I wish I could move that piece of hair from her face. And the Cheetah Girls soundtrack.  Till had to look high and low for the cd... finally found it on ebay. Liz and Till.  She was very grateful to him for getting her doll out of the box, which is just about an impossible task.
Okay Tillman, this is Lizzie's, not yours... That's my summary of 2003.  It covers a move halfway across country, my girl's K-5 graduation, and meeting my now fiancé Tillman.  2004 is even better!
