Chad & Debbie Crowther: The Crowther's Come To Town

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 Crowther's Come To Town

Chad's family (including Chad's parents, little brother, big sister, and two nephews) came to visit us--probably for the last time while we're in Florida (sad!). We had lots of fun together. To start off the trip, we all stayed in Orlando together for a few days. We went swimming, picked fresh citrus from a big orchard, enjoyed a dinner show called Arabian Nights, and got some sunshine at Disney World's Blizzard Beach. (Side note: in addition to soaking up the sun at the water park, we also got MAJOR wedgies from going down a water slide that had a 90 degree drop off! OUCH! Luckily, I DON'T have any pictures of that! LOL!)

After making it back to Fort Lauderdale, the Crowther Clan crammed into our condo for some fun-family-bonding! :-) In addition to just spending time together, we went out to eat (Callee needed to get her lobster!), went to the beach, and went to The Lion Country Safari.

The Lion Country Safari was way cool! We drove our car through the open range to see tons of different animals (most from Africa). As you can see from the pictures below...there were all kinds of animals. (Another Side note: Personally, the ostriches freaked me out! Those things just don't look right...and those ginormous beaks scare me to death!)
