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.

Goodbye To Friends

In keeping with tradition, at the end of each school year all of the students get together to have a farwell pool party. It's an opportuntiy for everyone to see each other and have one last hoorah before the 4th-year students head off into the big world to start their new lives .
The party has some traditions in and of itself--like throwing our friend Jude in the pool! Without fail, every year at the party all the guys think it's so funny to throw him in the pool....and of course Chad is usually the instigator of it. Luckily, this year Jude didn't have his cell phone in his pocket!
Although the party is always fun, it really is bittersweet. It's hard to say goodbye to friends that we've grown so close to over the past few years. On the other hand, it's an exciting time for them as they will finally be done with school and be able to take the next step in their lives and careers.
Since the graduates all move to different locations across the country, we will not likely see many of these friends ever again. So, to all of you who have made such a tremendous impact on us and who have been wonderful friends to me and Chad, I wish you farewell and good luck. May you achieve all the success you've worked so hard for and deserve. Thanks for the memories, friendship, and good times!!! And for those of you who are stuck in Florida for another year with us...I'm so glad! We'd be lost without you here with us!

Oh, it is so hard to say goodbye to friends. We hated leaving our friends from school in Vegas. That is hard. We hear ya. Deb, love your long hair. You look fantastic. We hope to see more of you two now that you are moving our way.
