Cathleen & Randy

Our story

Randy and I met on a plane when we were assigned the same window seat. He was a Marine who in few weeks was going to be stationed in Japan for a year. During the flight, we discussed his upcoming overseas assignment, how he was a crew chief on a jet and how my father was a retired WWII Pilot. He said “give me your address and send you a postcard with my plane when I get there.” I didn’t think anything about it but a few weeks I was shocked to receive a post card from Iwakuni Japan. After all the phone calls, writing letters and cassette tapes back and forth, we had our first date one year later when he returned back to Arizona. Randy drove 4 hours every Friday to spend the weekend with me and in the early morning hours on Monday he left Phoenix to drive 4 hours back to Yuma, just in time to make the first formation of the day. After a year of dating and numerous deployments he proposed in the same airport that began our love story . Who knew being assigned the same window seat would lead to 31 years of marriage, over 12 military moves and two amazing adult children. No he didn’t give me the window seat the day we met, but now every time we fly guess who gets the window seat now

What the weekend would mean to us

Milk and Honey Ranch is so beautiful. We have loved seeing pictures and video of all that God has done for you and for other people that have the opportunity to visit the ranch. Building relationships, meeting new people, visiting new places with growing communities and supporting small businesses is how we like to spend our free time. We would love to meet you, your wife and your team and experience how God has blessed your ranch. We want to explore and of course relax and enjoy all that you have done and are doing at Milk and Honey. Not to mention who wouldn’t want to pet those baby cows.
