Life of Tim Update

I have been pretty busy over the last few days working on putting together a DVD of pictures of Samantha for the Memorial. I find myself just emotionally drained at the end of the day.

I do have a lot of great friends helping me. The memorial is going to be on Oct 18th, from 1 pm to 4pm. Either myself or a friend will be contacting people this week to provide even more details. Please email me at teverett96@yahoo.com if we happen to not get a hold of you.

Also for anybody that might be reading this that I haven't talked to in person, please let me know via my email, your contact information. I don't want to accidently excluded anybody just because I didn't know how to get a hold of you.

Early Picture of Sam

I have no idea when or where this picture was taken, or who the dog is... Does anybody know?

Sam's personality just shines on some of the early pictures that I have of her. Her sense of mischievous and fun is very clear. It always strikes me that the photographer was lucky if she slowed down just enough for a picture to be taken.

New Year's Eve '94

Samantha and I shared a very special night together on New Year's Eve 1994. We had meet in October, so this was our first special date, our first New Year's Eve together.

I borrowed a "funky" suit from my brother. She and I went to a beautiful dinner in Capitola at Shadowbrook. Followed by a short drive into Santa Cruz for a round of indoor minature golf.

Samantha always seemed to make it a point to hit the golf ball as hard she could at some point... She rarely finished a round of minature golf with her ball.

After golf, we went to see a local band called Pele Juju.

It was a great night, great music, dancing, and most of all, a night spent with a beautiful woman.

The drive home was exciting for a couple of reasons... the first because she and I witnessed a car accident on Highway 17, a very curvy and windy road. All we saw was sparks flying as a car in front of us scraped against a barrier.

The big reason that night was special roughly 9 years ago was that I had planned along to tell Samantha that I loved her for the very first time. My heart was racing...

Once we got back to my little apartment in Mountain View, I said the words "I love you, Samantha" for the very first, the first time of many...
