Psalms 19:9

My Blog For You

Well, that day came.  April 4, 2009.  What is so funny about this moment right now as I write is I had to look it up.  What a goofball I am.  I know the day, but I remember it in a most unusual way.  One of the security questions for one of my checking accounts is…What is your wedding day?  I had to write the answer like this 040409 or like the bank likes it 04/04/09.  LOL   We had planned for all our kids and our grandkids to be in the wedding.  We had the ceremony all planned out, each of the sons Tamm’s two sons Rob and Rick who could be there would walk the wives down the aisle to the side and then Rob and Rick and their wives Heidi and Christine would walk to her side.  My son Robert could not come as he was out at sea on deployment in the United States Navy.  My daughter Jessica and her husband Damien and my daughter Rebecca was the last to walk down and go to their assigned spot.  Each of their kids, our grand kids would walk up with their mom and dad.  It was a party on stage.  We had decided to have the sons and daughters, Tamm and I and the worship leader at the church lead the congregation that had gathered in three worship songs.  At the last minute, the worship leader at the church could not make it so Rick, Tammy’s son, an aspiring worship leader jumped in, and we made a few changes, and it came off very nice.  We then all went back after the short set to our spots and the rest of the service went on without a hitch.  It was nice to have that memory of all our kids singing and playing and praising God for two families, became one that day.  Only God could have pulled that off.  A very nice reception followed, threw the bouquet and the garter and we were off to a very quiet honeymoon at the beach.  Tamm had a friend who had a friend who got us a very nice cottage out near the beach.  We enjoyed our time together.  It was wonderful for both of us.  I think we were there 3 days in all as we both had to get back to work.  Because all I need is an internet connection to connect to my office in Seattle, I had set up in Tamm’s house in Kelso my studio, my office and all my possessions we had moved a few days before the wedding.  That following Tuesday we both had a full load of work and so, we got to it.  We were now together, and it was just wonderful to have someone to cook for me at the end of the day and it was an adventure to figure out my new routine.  I was very grateful to God for the opportunity. 

Praise His Holy Name…

My Wife Tammy and I

April 4, 2009

I could go into lengthy detail about my amazing wife, Tammy but it is in all of Chapter 11 of my novel. I remember the day I proposed like it was yesterday and the rest as they say is history.

This photo is from my individual on the Varsity squad, though I was always more of a Basketball player than a Football player.

My siblings and I were young here. I am 5, my sister is about 3, and my brother pictured there was 17.

My Mentor

My mother was always a champion for me. She always wanted me to succeed. When I was young playing pony league baseball she used to come to every game and sit in the stands. Every time I came up to bat she would yell at the top of her lungs, “Come on slugger!” She always wanted me to succeed in whatever endeavour I put my heart and soul into. I had to tell her it was embarrassing and not to say it ever again….Years later she told me she used to say it under her breath so as not to offend. She also always told me, “the truth is always the truth, it never changes.” I have fond memories of her kneeling at her bed with all the bills from the church, since she was the Treasurer, and asking God to fulfill and pay all those debts. Those bills…They always got paid. That image is engrained in my soul and is one of the driving forces that has helped me and my oldest granddaughter, Alexanndra create this website. I hope you enjoy it, and are encouraged by it.

Sincerely,

Robert David Wasson Sr.
