When I first met Tommy I had just come out of a 1 yr relationship and prior to that an awful 23 yr marriage. I was not looking to
get into another relationship and take the chance of it failing too. so I decided to do something for me, something that I had always
wanted to do..... Learn how to swingout.

Someone had told me that lessons were being given at a local club...The Goldrush.So I went on a Sunday night. Pee Wee was teaching.
I met a lady there at the class and she told me to come on Monday night too. I told her " I did not know that Pee Wee taught on Monday too." and
she said " He doesn't, Terrible T does." I am thinking in my mind...Who the Hell is a Terrible T. She told me that he taught in a more old
school way.... So I went on that Monday night with her. When I walked in, there was a thin light skinned man in the DJ booth.......You could have
knocked me over with a feather when to my surprise, the man in the DJ booth was Terrrible T.......Well I was thinking" He don't look too terrible to me."

Well we hit the dance floor and started working.He had the audacity to tell me that I needed to lose the calypso in my hips. I told him" Hell I
am from Louisiana and that all we know is calypso and zydeco." Then he asked me to do a double turn......which I thought I did okay.. but he
said there would be no one foot action in his class. He told me to go home and practice on it. And he would know if I really went home and
practiced because it would show........Well to me that was a challenge and I would not be TKO'd by this little guy. So I went home and practiced.
When he asked me to do the double turn again......I nailed it!!!!

Well from then on after he would finish our class, he would aways come say good bye to me and my new friend before he left.

After he stopped teaching at the club.....He later asked me out to The Arts Festival in downtown Ft Worth. We went to listen to the Jazz
set and had the most beautiful time. I felt like I was in a dream, he treated me like a queen. A perfect gentleman.We talked on the phone
almost everyday. Then he asked me out to the Mayfest with him and his daughters. I went and once again had the best time.

I felt myself falling in love with this man and his daughters.....even though I was afraid.But I let God do His work and THE REST IS HISTORY!!!!!!

Tommy and I have come to realize that God brought us together because we both were totally opposites of who we would usually date.
We always say what we want...But God knows what we need. I love him with all of my being.. He is truly my soulmate and I would not trade
him for all the money in the world......I have his back, front and sides and he has mine too. I thank God everyday for bringing us together.
Becoming Mrs. Tommy Pye makes me know that I am a Queen.... In Terrible T's eyes....and those are the only eyes that matter on this earth.
