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 sleep change

Well, Braxten is no longer standing and screaming in the middle of the night. It took two hard nights of training but he sleeps through the 4am play time that he used to have too. He wakes up now between 645 and 730, not bad. The change being that he no longer goes back to sleep until 830 or 9. Small adjustment but that extra hour of sleep was pretty nice. He is one happy boy in the morning just wanting to play with toys and chase Rocky so the thought of going back to bed quickly diminishes when you hear the sounds of joy as he plays. Only a few more months of being the only child so we are letting him enjoy it all :) Love our little man!!!
