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!

Another fun day!!! (August 16th, 2014)


I dressed in my football outfit to watch my cousin Zoe cheer at a football game. I have never been to watch cheerleaders or football players in person and I was super entertained! Mom tells me that Dad used to play and Aunt Colleen would cheer! I was asked by a few people if I would play when I get older, Mommy told them we would wait and see (with her fingers crossed). Look at my awesome cousin cheering!!


Later that night we went to the Seton festival with all my cousins and more friends! It was my first festival and there was some serious people watching happening. All of my cousins wanted to make me laugh and they were continually successful! I love my family.
