A Love Story—One Song at a Time
Some love stories begin with a song. Ours began in a high school classroom in 1981 and has been playing ever since. From first kisses and youthful promises to forty-three years of marriage, these songs celebrate the memories we’ve made, the challenges we’ve weathered, and the love that continues to grow. Different melodies, different moments, but always the same two hearts—still in the key of us.

Bruce was a little bit country, but I was a whole lot of rock ’n’ roll! This rock version captures the energy, excitement, and passion of young love—and the memories, places, and promises that shaped our forever.

Kiss Through A Car Window
From a high school hallway and a first kiss through a car window to forty-three years of marriage, family, and adventures together.

Most of all, it’s a reminder that after all these years, we’re still choosing each other.
