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.

We're Having a Baby!

Well, I decided it was time to make an official announcement...although many of you already know our good news. I'm pregnant! I am now 17 weeks along, and my official due date is February 10th. We'll find out the gender in a few weeks...September 25th to be exact! (So stay tuned!) We can't wait!! I have a hunch that it's a little princess, but who knows?!?! Of course, we'll be thrilled either way. We are just praying for a healthy little baby; that's all that really matters.

Below is a photo from my ultrasound at 11 weeks. I am still amazed when I think that there is a little baby growing inside of me. There are no words to describe our excitement, gratitude, humility and joy.
