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!

One to remember - May 25th

Some days are just better than others and today was an amazing day! Both kiddos woke up happy and were ready for a great day. B is officially accepted into his first school - Friday preschool at St Marks down the road. It is 9am-11:30 on Fridays for some socialization and learning basics in life from new adults and with kids his age. It should be wonderful for him! We then tackled Daddy as he got home from wok - one of our favorite things to do (they kids favorite too). Daddy even cut the grass for free entertainment for us! B and Kane like to set up chairs and snacks by the front window and watch him the whole time. Since they were such friends today we even played well at the water table and on the deck without tears or fighting! Can't imagine a more perfect day with my crazy little family!
