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.

Swing! Swing! Swing!

Do you think Reece enjoyed her first ride on the swings?

Just a quick update....
  • Reece is well into her 9th month of life now...and is a bundle of fun and joy and energy!
  • She is crawling everywhere!
  • She is constantly saying mamama, dadada, bababa, and yayaya. (She likes to talk!) And of course, she's been known to give out a random scream or cry from time to time!
  • She loves to walk, but still needs help (whew...not ready for her to walk yet).
  • Her favorite things to play with are: books, her slinky, the remote control, our guitar and piano, and she loves pulling stuff out of our refrigerator and pantry! (T-R-O-U-B-L-E!)
  • At her doctor's appointment she weighed 18 lbs. 12 oz. (50th percentile). She was 29 1/4 inches long (still topping the charts in the 95th percentile!). And a new jump in her stats was her large head...45 cm (75-90th percentile). Who knew she was already so smart...ha!
