How it all began

Ralph and I have been together since the summer of 2008 but it all began in 1992. Ralph's sister, Colleen and I have been best friends since 6th grade and we grew up at each other's houses throughout the years. Ralph was always around but being the younger brother was forbidden to be around us (not that he wanted to make up dances with us). We said hi during high school and when I needed a jersey to wear to school on Fridays, Ralph was nice enough to let me wear his. He visited Kent State while I was there once to look at the football team and campus but decided against attending. He joined the Marine Corps and we spoke through emails every now and then just to see how the other was doing. Life went on and our paths finally crossed again in 2008 when Colleen invited me to their families yearly 4th of July party. Ralph was home on leave from Iraq and I just moved back to Cincinnati. This time when we saw each other things seemed a little different and the rest is history. In December 2011 we were engaged, July 2012 we were married, April 2013 we bought our first house and March 2014 we had our first child, Braxten! Each year has been more blessed than the last and we are so excited to see where our future takes us!

Easter

    




Easter may have taken two weekends for us to celebrate but we were able to see everyone in our immediate families!! It was awesome for Braxten to meet the rest of our family! He was a part of 2 egg hunts and lots of pictures were taken. (I will figure out how to add more pictures soon, I'm working on it). He is so lucky to have 2 Aunts, 3 Uncles and 5 Cousins that love him to pieces and spoil him rotten! It is going to be so much fun having him grow up close to family.
     Braxten has been sleeping pretty well lately, two nights ago he slept for 9 hours in a row!!! It was amazing! Last night he slept for 7 in a row and we are not complaining at only 5 weeks old. He has his crabby hours that nothing will console him but for the majority of the days he is a happy little baby. A happy boy that is starting to SMILE! It is not all the time but he is starting to recognize us and give us a big smile! It is the most amazing feeling and adorable sight! He sure is loved!
