Our Story

Welcome to our blog! Here's the quick and dirty about us:

Chad and I met on our first day of college at Utah State University. We started studying together, since we were in the same math class and lived in the same apartment building. But, those late-night study sessions quickly turned into excuses to hang out together. And that's how our story began. After two years of dating, we tied the knot on August 17, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We currently live in Tucson, Arizona. We moved here after living in South Florida for five years, where Chad graduated from medical school and completed his internship year of residency. He is now working for the University of Arizona completing a three-year anesthesiology residency. I was fortunate enough to keep my job from Florida and now work remotely from home. I am the manager of advertising and communications for the business school at Nova Southeastern University.

And--most importantly--Chad and I are thrilled to be parents! Our little angel Reece was born on Jan. 26, 2010 and our handsome little Jace was born on June 30, 2011. We are so blessed to be the mom and dad of such darling and sweet kids.

Camping...kind of!

Chad and I went camping! But in South Florida the options are bit limited. Our church had coordinated a campout, but when we pulled up to the camping spot we both started cracking up--we were camping in a park!! Now, I am not talking about a "national park" or anything like that. We were in fact, smack dab in the middle of a regular park. We literally set up camp between the tennis courts and the playground! It was hilarious!

Despite the fact that we were in the middle of the city in a public park, the camping trip was still fun. We made yummy tin foil dinners, roasted marshmellows, ate dutch oven cobbler, and slept all night on the hard ground in our tent. When it got dark--and you couldn't see too far--it almost felt like you could be camping in the wilderness...until you heard sirens from the hostipal across the street!
But, all in all, it was a fun experience. It's great to do something a little out-of-the-ordinary. And it's always fun hanging out with your friends! Maybe next time we'll find a little more "realistic" camp site...
