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!

Some fun times in September


Fun times in September!
So we have found a park really close to our house that NO one else goes to during school hours! We have had it to ourselves both times we went! Braxten is getting more and more brave with each visit. He loves to swing and is getting the hang of the slides now too! He loves walking across the bridge that bounces a little and throwing the mulch into the grass. Kane has plenty of shade that she sits in the stroller or gets held as we walk around. Thinking this is the next birthday party spot to share for the kiddos! As can be seen, B is getting a bit more adventurous at home too. I walked into he playroom to find him standing on this chair and trying to reach the radio as the chair was beginning to slip backwards on the hardwood floor. He is keeping us on our toes! They both like to be near one another lately and B is generous with his kisses to Kane. He likes to help us burp her too and is actually gentle (most of the time). Loving my stay at home days!!!
