Since Mark lives in Mississippi it is long distance for him to call Amanda. When they first started dating he would call her the night before he was coming and then again the day after he had been to see her. One Sunday afternoon she missed his call because she didn't hear her cell phone ring. She came to me so disappointed. I told her "Amanda go ahead and call him back, I don't think he will mind." She did and he was thrilled. He is extremely old fashioned and he told her he had always been raised that the guy called the girl. She told him it isn't always that way now. She explained to him that she can call him using her cell phone with plan we have through T-Mobile and it doesn't use any of our family plan minutes and it doesn't cost him anything either. Since that time she has been calling him every day and they sometimes talk two hours at a time LOL!!!On the days that he goes to work a lot of times his aunt will call him to make sure he is awake by 5:00 a.m. The medicine that he has to take for his health problems makes him sleepy a lot and sometimes he doesn't hear his alarm clock. From time to time Amanda has awakened him during the day when she calls him. Well last night they were getting ready to hang up and she asked him if he wanted her to call him this morning. He told her yes. She asked him what time, thinking he would probably say around 7:00 just before he has to leave to go to work. But instead he shocked her saying "5:00." She was very surprised but she said "Okay, sure!!". I laughed and told her, "You are going to spoil him and he will want you to start getting up at 5:00 every morning when he has to work and call him LOL!!" She got a big kick out of that. :)
I woke up myself early and had to go down the hall toward her room. She had her phone and I could hear his phone ringing. I was kidding her and said "Keep trying!!" She laughed at me. I went on back to bed but I know she finally got him because I was almost back asleep in our bedroom and I heard her laugh at loud!! I went on back to sleep knowing she was happy which makes me happy!!Mark works three days a week at the library in Tupelo. It wouldn't surprise me at all if after today he starts wanting her to call him on those mornings at 5:00. She will do it too, and then go back to bed until 9:00!!! LOL!!Have a great day!!

Long distance love, ain't it great. I used to get up at 6am (central time) so that I wouldn't miss my morning call from my s/o, he used to call me on his way into work, 7am his time. Of course we haven't had to do that in 3 years, since I moved 1600 miles lol. We used to live our messangers on so that on the weekend we could leave the other one a message when we got up, he normally slept late on the weekend. Then he'd give me a call or I'd call him. He used to send me an email from work telling me he needed to hear 'some southern drawl' lol. We still email each other everyday from work, and he usually calls me at least a couple of times a day, just to see how my day is going, it's just not long distance anymore. Good luck to them, I hope it works out for a long time to come.

Hi Gaby!!! Ha! Ha! I was really kidding with Amanda when I told her she would spoil Mark, but I have been right so far LOL!! He had to go to work yesterday morning and he told her he wanted her to call him. When she asked him what time he told her "5:00." Amanda said "Okay! Sure!!" She doesn't mind at all LOL!! He is off today so she hasn't called him yet but I'm sure the day won't get too far gone before she will call him LOL!!
I'll be glad when you get you another web cam, Amanda and I love to get to talk to you and see you at the same time. :) Let me know when you get another one and get it set up.
Big Hugs from Amanda and Me to you and Gissi!!!!

That sounds like a pure, sweet love. I hope I can find that someday. God is pretty amazing, isn't He? From the time Amanda was born He knew who her mate would be. It seems like it will be Mark, and if that is so then they are both very very blessed.
Have a wonderful day Shelia!

Hi Amber!! Hon I sure hope you can find someone just as special for you too. God is very amazing!! It just blows me away at how he knows what is best for us and then a lot of times we try to handle things our own way, when if we will just let him handle it things always work out much better!!
I think it is not if but when Amanda and Mark get married. I could be wrong, God is the only one that knows, but I feel in my heart that is the way it will be. She not only calls him every day but on the days he is working she sends him e-mails. He doesn't have a computer at home, he just uses the one at the library. Sometimes she sends him three or four a day and sometimes just one, but he is always sitting on ready to get them because she tells me when she has sent one to him and then checks a few minutes later to see if he has read it and he always has LOL. She told me also that he keeps a picture of her on the dashboard of his car and whenever he feels discouraged or upset about something he just looks at that picture of her and it makes him feel better. :) I think it is sweet myself. :)
I hope you have a wonderful day too hon and I'll talk to you soon!!

How sweet this relationship has blossomed. I'm happy for her and Mark and for you too! Don't find too many old fashioned guys these days. Sounds like he is a keeper for Amanda.
