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!

Challenging morning!

After two weeks of days that were pretty well controlled, this morning was a bit different. They staggered their wake up times for me which was helpful but that was the good part. B decided he didn't want to eat any breakfast and threw everything on the floor in about 2 sec and screamed when I tried to give him anything else. He was put on the floor to go play and started to until he saw Kane's bottle. I made him one and fed them at the same time. All was quiet until Kane projectile vomited all over herself, her lounge pillow and the couch. As I cleaned her up B decided he wanted to be held so he just screamed at my legs. Deep breath was taken as I realized how wonderful this morning was going to be. He finally gave up and crawled to the kitchen and threw all of the clean clothes out of the basket and onto the kitchen floor... Everywhere- including in the dogs water bowl!!! This all happened as Ralph went upstairs for 2 minutes to change after work. As he walked down the stairs B had crawled into the playroom and was looking as if he was finger painting the floor, he was, but it was with Rocky's poop. Yep that's right! Rocky went to the bathroom in there overnight and we hadn't been in there yet to notice it. Thank goodness Ralph came down when he did and caught him before it ended up anywhere other than on his hands. Yay for having our first ridiculous morning! By the way this is all before 10am, come on nap time!!!
