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.

The Blind Man Can See!

Chad has new eyes!! On April 18th Chad got Lasik eye surgery. He's been blind as a bat for years. But after about a 15-minute procedure Chad came out with 15/20 vision...which is better than perfect! He still walks around amazed at his new-found eyesight. He can actually read the road signs now...which makes us all feel a little more safe!
Now Chad can do all the things I've taken for granted...like opening his eyes underwater in the pool, going to bed without the hassle of taking out his contacts, rubbing his eyes whenever he wants, waking up to watch TV without hunting all over the house to find his glasses (but that's partly his fault because he never puts his glasses where they belong!!), or just being able to see without having to put on glasses or contacts!
This will be especially helpful when he starts his residency, since he'll undoubtedly be working crazy shifts and will be on call during all hours of the night...having the hassle and pain of contacts during those times would have been so hard to deal with. Yes, I am sure all of the patients will be really glad that Chad can see when he gets called into their surgeries! Ha Ha

Hey Chad's anti-scratch/rubbing glasses look a little sci-fi. Carrie's looked pretty boring and plain. Congrats on graduation this weekend!!
