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.

Merry Christmas!

This year was Reece's first Christmas. We had lots of fun, traveling to both Utah and Idaho to spend the holidays with our family.

While in Utah, we took Reece sledding...twice. The first time was not good. It was snowing and a little windy. Reece did not like it! So, a few days later...when it was sunny and warmer...we tried it again. The second time around was wonderful! She laughed going down the hill, and loved playing and eating the snow!

First attempt at sledding...


Second sledding trip...





Christmas morning...Santa brought Reece a piano, blocks, animals, and a baby doll! She had a ball with the wrapping paper and playing with her cousins!
Aunt Susanne (my friend from work) sent Reece her own set of scrubs for Christmas. Love them!!! Now she and daddy can match...the most adorable thing ever! Thanks Susanne!

Reece loved seeing Grandpa's doggie and horses!

Then, after a week in Utah Reece and I drove to Idaho to spend some time with my family (Chad had to come back to Tucson for work...lame!) Reece had lots of fun hanging out with grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, and her fun cousins!

I can't believe how big Reese is getting. She's sure a cutie! Glad you guys had fun in Utah and Idaho. And I think the little scrubs are just about the cutest thing ever! By the way, I don't know if I just haven't noticed before or if they are new but I like the bangs!
