The Real story


Hello, My name is Mary the M of msphotos I want to tell you a story of how m and s became what we are. It was Nov. 2006 and I was on Yahoo Personals looking for someone to be with. When lo and behold I found Stanley of course I left him alone for 2 months while I was still searching.Silly move on my part.
When my Mother looked at his picture and his name she said "that would be funny if you married him you would be Mary Yoder and we laughed at that. See, her maiden name is Yoder( no relation). Well the holidays came and went and I went to my sons to babysit for them. I opened up the yahoo and there was Stanleys name like I had sent him an invite which i did not.
I left him a message saying it was nice to hear from him again and then i went home for the night.I got home and opened it again at home and there was a note from him saying, " hello, long time no see". We started to talk again and made plans after a while to meet in person, the scary part of meeting on the puter. LOL We made plans for Feb.18Th but well the best laid plans of mice and men did not work.My Father passed away that day so meeting was out of the question till after the Funeral.
We got back to the meeting a week and a half later so about Feb. 27 we met and well we liked each other. I came to see him almost every other day and he came to see me.Oh I did not say he lives one and a half hour from my hometown.
Now I was here visiting him one day in March and my work called me and asked if I would work at another store to help with inventory.I said yes i will, because it was the store in his home town area. I told the personell lady I even know where I can stay for those 3 days. You got it right here with him. I then came and worked 3 days and had the next 3 off so I stayed all week.
One thing led to another and about April 21 I was starting to work at the other store and I moved in with him. Things were going great, we would go hiking in the mountains taking photographs. I have some cute ones of him with big smiles on his face,something he did not do much, but now was a happy man. Now I'm not saying I'm perfect but he sure was smitten with me. We were doing very well and about late June he came to me and said, when do you want to get married? I said, you tell me, so he went to the calender and said how about Oct 13 2007 I said OK that will be fine and we started to make plans.
We had hurdles to get over trying to find a place to get married but one day his sister said why not try my church.We went to find out and the pastor said he would but would you join the church it will not cost you if you do. We did join, he got baptized and the whole nine yards.
I had the honor of making all my decorations, Flowers for me and him and the moms, I did the centerpieces and all that went with it. We had a great and wonderful Oct.day it was sunny and warm and just beautiful.
Now it has been 1 year and nine months and we finally decided to try to sell the photos he took after walking the mountains for years.

This is the site, enjoy. We sell prints, mugs, puzzles and more. You can order right from the site. New photos will be updated periodically.
