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!

Easter 2016!

 Easter was so much fun! We were able to see everyone in the immediate family of both of us! We started out at Missi and Pop's for lunch and an easter egg hunt. B really liked finding them so as he put them in his basket Daddy would throw them somewhere else so he could keep looking. Kane had no idea what was going on but loved her golden egg and being around everyone. Rylan and Callie Jae posed for some selfies with our selfie stick and played outside until we had to leave and go to the Hodges' easter. We went to Mamaw and Popo and had dinner and another easter egg hunt with the rest of the cousins. It was great day! We could not be happier that we are so close to our families and we can share holidays with everyone even if it is a bit hectic. God has given us so many blessings over the past few years and we are grateful for every one of them!
