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.

Bend, Oregon - HERE WE COME!

It's official...we are moving to Bend, Oregon! Chad signed a contract with the Bend Anesthesiology Group and starts on July 2nd. We are very excited for this next adventure and phase in our lives. Although, I must admit, the idea of permanence feels kind of weird.


We are excited to be moving back to a smaller town (I'm sure I'll miss the shopping and restaurants...but who are we kidding, with two little kids I don't go shopping or out to eat much anyway!). Bend is also the kind of place where we can (eventually) get some land...because we need space for our horses, cows and a dog to run around! Bend really seems like the perfect fit for our little family - we'll get four seasons, we'll be 20 minutes from a ski resort, surrounded by lakes and rivers, and we'll have grass and trees instead of rocks and cacti!


There is one obvious downside to Bend...there's no Cheesecake Factory (I won't lie...that was almost a deal breaker)! But there is a Costco, so I'm sure life will be endurable!:)









Plan a trip to come visit once we get moved and settled!
