"Hailey, I've come a long way in this marriage. So, I will be a grown-up about this and allow you to experience immense personal growth. But you have to recognize and respect my feelings and individuality, too. So, instead of getting angry with you, I will avoid this conflict that you're trying to stir up with me by letting you know my feelings are hurt over your attitude toward me wanting to do something for my wife and our anniversary. I've loved you all this time, and you are standing here doubting me, and I don't understand why?”

She sighs, “Are you aware…” Hailey pauses.

“Yeah, I’m aware, I've always been there for you through thick and thin, supporting your dreams and listening to your worries. Remember the late nights I spent helping you with your school projects?

This girl must be some kind of chick to marry you here at the ranch and live here, too.”“I told you I would get married on the ranch at Whispering Creek. That's where I want to get married. Right in my backyard." Leon shook his head at his brother. "First of all, what girl did you convince to marry you? And on top of that, marry you on a horse farm? I can't wait to see who she is." Leon chuckled, still shaking his head at Jake as he threw the small football back across the room to Leon. Leon laughed as he caught the ball. "Don't worry about that; you'll see soon enough.”“Alright then, let's prepare your nervous lips to say those vows and kiss your pretty bride." "Oh, I'm ready! That's the best part. Kissing the bride." Jake replied, puckering his lips, teasing Leon. The guys got their cue to march out. Jake says, "I wish Maw and Paw

The man is stunningly hot and stupidly rich!”“I got you. Honey, I will do all I can to help you catch that one.” “Thanks, so ladies, what’s new?” Bridgette asked the other beautician and a few other patrons.“Well, I read this article in Uptown Women.” “Oh, that’s my favorite magazine,” one lady says. “They put out this article that has everyone going crazy.” “What is it?” The hairstylist asked.“The question is for some wealthy women. Would you date a man from a different culture?” Bridgette laughed. “No way! I am strictly into vanilla.”

    ~You’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of ideas for fun weddings and receptions. Think outside the box; unique ideas make for great conversation with guests.~Later that afternoon, Hailey started cooking in preparation for the wedding reception. At the same time, Jake worked painting, mopping, and hanging lights in the entertainment room. He cleaned off tables and chairs and painted some white and silver with the cans of paint he purchased from the list that Hailey gave him.Meanwhile, Milo and Jake walked to the barn near the house. To gather the dusty boxes filled with clear jam jars and white linen tablecloths, Hailey instructed him on what to do with the items. She opted for a country theme for the wedding and the small reception, which was appropriately suited to the atmosphere of Whispering Creek.After leaving the barn, he walked only a short distance outside and discovered this cluster of trees that offered the most fabulous shade and cool breeze ever. “Jake, I love tha

    ~When promises are kept and actions match words, it builds a foundation of reliability. ~Hailey awoke with a startling clarity from deep within her core, a newfound energy ignited by the bridal preparations before her. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, the wooden floor cool against her feet.As she rubbed her belly absentmindedly, she couldn’t help but smile at the little flutters. Yet, the smile quickly transformed into an expression of determination. How badly do you want to get married again? she thought, justified in her approach to his room as she opened the door. Jake lay under a mound of blankets, visibly ensconced in the warmth of sleep. His tousled hair peeked out, and momentarily, she marveled at the sight. But then reality dawned on her, and she knew that if they were to pull off this wedding, while preparing for the baby, there was simply no time to waste. “Jake!” she declared, her voice both as soft and commanding as a drill sergeant’s of a platoon officer.

I can walk, you know, " she said with her right hand fisted.Jake tightens his hold under her knees. "You want me to put you in the mud, Missy?”She looked back at the carriage, and Pete had already taken off.He shifted her again, smiling. “What do you plan to do with that small fist of yours?”There was no doubt she was ready to punch out Jake. Who was holding her effortlessly as if she were a child?He smiled. “You're something. You're about to bite the hand that's helping you?”He met her questioning gaze as she thought about it. Once he got her inside the farmhouse, he deposited her on a high pile of hay.“Stay put until I come back. I have to shut the door.” He walked away with her purse still on his shoulder.
