Arrested & Taken Into Custody

Roger was officially arrested and taken into custody on Friday, 2/19/10 at 12:00 PM at JTS, Inc.

I began planning a surprise weekend getaway for us about a month ago. I haven't ever done anything like this and make it a complete surprise before. But I pulled it off, but not without lots of help.

I enlisted Roger's bosses, Lance and Dena to help me. They marked their calendars to make sure that he was in town plus kept it a complete secret from him.

We told so many lies to pull this off but it looked like the night before that it was going to fall apart because he was going out of town (an hour away) all day. I started stressing, texted Dena and she called Lance (her brother). He said he would take care of it and he did.

On Friday, Lance called me to let me know that Roger went out of town but he called him and told him that he needed to meet with him face to face at noon in the office. Lance called me to let me know when Roger arrived and them it all came together.

I arrived at his job, Lance had me wait in his office and he eventually, led Roger up front. Roger was so shocked to see me sitting in Lance's office.

He said "Jenn Leigh, what are you doing here?"

I stood up and said "Mr. Woolbright, I am placing you under arrest for being a wonderful husband for 19 years to your wife and you are going to have to come with me!" I pulled his handcuffs out of my back pocket and handcuffed him.

He was in total shock and disbelief...it took a few minutes and Lance telling him..."I can't help you now, Roger...you're all her's so get outta here".

It was perfect!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY LOVE!


I woke up 19 years ago today, alone in my bed, in a small house in Earle, AR that I shared with my precious 4 year old son, Brandon.

Life was an adventure to say the least.

We made the best of what we had and didn't dwell on what we didn't have. The only time that my son got to go to McDonald's was when my mom and dad took us. But, we were content.

I said "we were content" if that is all God had planned for us but I didn't feel happy nor whole. Jesus promises to be a father to the fatherless in Psalm 68:5 A father of the fatherless and a judge and protector of the widows is God in His holy habitation.

I was missing a piece of my heart that longed to be whole again that would be filled with a husband to love me and a father who would love Brandon.

When I woke up on February 23rd, 1991...I was a giddy 28 year old, bride-to-be but I fell asleep that night in Harrison, AR, in a remote cabin...no longer alone in a bed, but in the arms of my knight in shining armor, my protector, my provider, my lover, my best friend but most of all...as Mrs. Roger W...wife, mother and step-mother.

Life is still an adventure but just at a much better level. God is good and so is my life.

I love you, Roger! Thank you for 19 wonderful years and for being the husband and father that God has called you to be.
P. S. When I have more time...I will share with my bloggy friends just what I did to my wonderful husband to be able to celebrate our anniversary alone this past weekend. Stay tuned...you don't want to miss this. lol

Have a wonderfully blessed day!

Happy 18th Anniversary, My Love!

Our wedding songs are the first two songs playing on my playlist today!



18 years ago today, my life changed forever. This was the day that my prince charming rode in and changed the course of my life forever and for the better.

You see, I had a terrible first marriage that blessed me with a beautiful son named Brandon but the marriage couldn't be saved. To read about that part of my life...check it out here.

However, I had been divorced for 4 years when I met Roger. He was handsome, charming, sweet, attentive, gentle and my knight in shining armor...my prince. Read that story...here.

He was my 28th birthday present from my Heavenly Father. He was send down from heaven just for me. Read that amazing story here.

We dated for 3 months before he asked me to marry him. We were engaged on December '90 and were married 2 months later on February 23, 1991.

We began our life together, blending his family and mine. Roger brought two beautiful daughters into our union...Sommer (12) and Ryan (10) and I brought my precious son, Brandon (nearly 5). We had no idea what life would be like blending our two families together, being a step-parent or the parent of a step-child. There were many years of heartache, joy, progress and setbacks but God sustained our marriage and He was always faithful.

If you want to read my life story...My Love Story...begin here and read backwards. I tell everything...the good, the bad and the oh, so ugly.

With every test that our marriage has gone through, there has been tremendous growth. We are a team, we are united and we have to stick together and sometimes, together you have to fight against all odds to stay married in the world that we live in.

I know, there were many people that were skeptical due to our short courtship and marriage but when God brings two people together...you know, it was meant to be.

You see, Roger was the answer to my prayers. He had every quality that I longed for in a man, in my future husband and he is still that wonderful man today.

Has our marriage been without its ups and downs? Heavens, NO! But, we are here 18 years later to testify that it can be done, inspite of today's standards, tears, fights, financial problems, emotional changes, issues with our children...our love grows stronger and great each and every day.

Roger, you are the love of my life!

I know that I don't always show it or express it but you are the best thing that has every happened to me. I am in this marriage for the long haul, my love. We are a team and a team is united...they stand together through adversity and they have each other's backs. I love you with all my heart and I look forward to each new day, each new adventure and the many days ahead as we grow old together.

Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart! I had a wonderful weekend with you :-)!!!


Matthew 19:6
So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

I wanted to share a few pictures of us through the past 18 years of our marriage...all but 1, was taken on our anniverary. Yes, I was a blonde at one time...this isn't Roger with another woman! LOL!



















Have a wonderfully blessed day!
