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!

Triple Trouble



Random cousin night Oct 9, 2015! Zoe had a football game to cheer for and the boys were able to hang out with us! It was so much fun! These three are going to be some serious trouble though. They all loved playing outside with trucks and cars. They got along SO well and played like the best of friends! It was such a great night, I am not sure why we don't do it more often but think it will start happening. We are exhausted and realize just how much more work it would be to have more kids and are set in our decision that 2 is perfect and we can add a few more cousins for a reminder!
