    Congratulations!! I am proud of you too Richard & I am also proud of you & the girls Melinda! I know it isn’t easy to stay & work things out & you obeyed God & he blessed all of you for it. What a testimony. You should all do something very special to celebrate. May the rest of your lives be as good or better than the ones before day 1 of the last four years. We love all of you!! Bobbi

    congrats! I am proud to know both of you and I am blessed to see how far both of you have grown in your relationship with the Lord. I think you should get a (mullet) haircut to celebrate as well.

    CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for all of you. I would be a part of the “everybody” you proved wrong. I am so glad to be wrong about that!!

    Hey Richard I heard you were thinking about growing a mullet. Since I can’t grow enough hair to have a mullet myself someones got to keep it alive, I think you should go for it. (don’t tell melinda I encouraged you, she’ll never know)
