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.

BOO! It's Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!!
For Halloween this year Chad and I carved our first pumpkin...well, not our first "ever" but the first since we've been married. :-) It was fun and made me feel like a kid again! FYI- Chad is a much better carver than I am! Go figure...
Last night to celebrate Halloween we went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Orlando with our friends Alice & Louis. We drove up and back in the same night, so we didn't get much sleep that night. It was definitely hard waking up for work the next morning when I didn't go to bed until almost 5 a.m. Oh well...it was definitely worth it. It was so much fun and quite scary!! And Chad got to cruise around in a wheel chair, which was really nice. He wasn't going to let a bum-knee ruin his fun! Even though I knew people were going to jump out and scare us, it still freaked me out. Luckily, I love being scared! (probably a result of watching too many horror movies as a child when my big sister used to babysit me) :-)

These guys were so scary...they would get right in your face and breathe on you. YUCK! And when they knew you were scared they would keep chasing you to make you even more freaked out. Crazy weirdos...seriously. And for any of you who have ever seen it...don't these guys remind you of the people from the movie "The People Under the Stairs?" Yeah, for sure! Super freaky!


Today (Halloween) my department all dressed up as vampires, Draculas, monsters and witches for work. It was really fun! And we put together a big haunted house in our hallway, and got to scare all of our colleagues. We won the best costume and office decorating prizes...obviously! I have so many awesome friends at work, and we have so much fun together. An office of mostly women...no wonder we're so cool!?! HA HA Aren't we a scary crew!?! :-)
