Gabriel's First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe that my 1st baby is already in kindergarten. The time goes by too quickly, but I am thankful and amazed to be given such a beautiful, bright, amazing child. He has been such a joy to our family and I just love him so much.

Our Home

OUR HOUSE

We were fortunate to buy a newly built house on May 15, 2009 shortly before we had our 3rd son Kaidyn. We love this house and it has already carries so many memories and love. We are so thankful to God for what He has provided for us. We are working slowly on updating, decorating, and additions..

Our Living Room: Walls still needs paint, but decorated for Christmas

Our Patio and Back Yard: We had to seed the lawn, pour the patio and driveway ourself, and so it was the first big project and most expensive project completed.

Our Wedding

Tom and I were married on June 26, 2004! It was a gorgeous, sunny day and it could have not been more perfect. My theme was butterflies and so I had butterflies released into the air after our ceremony. We had the ceremony in a church, and the reception was at Bristlecone Pines Country Club. After our wedding, we left for our honeymoon in Aruba! It was one of the best days of my life.

How It All Began...September 5, 1997

I met Tom my first week of high school in September of 1997, 14 years ago today! I can't believe that I have now known Tom half my life. I had the hugest crush on him, never knowing that he would ever like me. Afterall, no one had ever really thought anything of me before, and so I really didn't think that I would stand a chance. During the first week of high school was spirit week, and so we spent that first week traveling around on a bus. I purposefully tried to be on the same bus and tried to sit near him on the bus so that I could get to know him. Eventually, it did pay off, and by Friday of that week, we were holding hands on the bus between the seats. Looking back, when we were a mere 14 years old, it seems almost like forever ago. I never knew that I would end up marrying that boy and having 3 beautiful boys with him. I am so lucky. I am so lucky to get to spend forever with him!
