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.

Girls Trip to NYC

My mom, my sister Monica, and I all went to NYC for a girls trip in early April. We had tons of fun seeing the sites and making memories together. Although we got some rain and it was definitely a little chilly, we still had lots of fun. And more than anything, it was just great to be together for some mother-daughter time.
We went to Central Park, the Gugenheim museum, bartered for purses in Chinatown, rode the Staten Island Ferry to see Lady Liberty, saw Wiked and Mama Mia! on broadway, enjoyed yummy treats in Little Italy, took in the excitement around Times Square, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, did some shopping (and was blown away by the awesome floral decor at Macy's), and pretty much walked all over Manhattan (more walking than my mom ever wanted to do!). One of the highlights of the trip was running into the infamous Naked Cowboy!
