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!

Waco Trip!!!

After a long 3.5 years I finally got to visit Jana and Gage!!!! It was so amazing! Pictures to follow...



 Went to Baylor baseball practice and actually took batting practice! It was so much fun - Coach Rodriguez was so generous with all of the gear he gave to us and of course allowing us to interrupt his practice. Go Bears!

 Gage is such a little man as he wants to be just like the big boys. Their three year old soccer game could not have been any cuter!



Goofy pictures are a must and with "aviator faces" it was a perfect opportunity for a selfie. We sure do make a mark on almost everyone we meet!

                           
  We sat in a Tessla in the mall because its normal to sell cars in the mall and our daily workout spot. What an amazing university and amenities for athletes!

Can't get out of Waco without going to Magnolia Farms. I will be ordering online!

 On the field with 30 minutes until the flight left Waco haha. Handstands are always appropriate and being on the field is a memory that will never be forgotten. Gage and I played baseball, soccer, ninjas, puzzles and acted crazy everyday which added moments of heartwarming fun! Jana and I could not have had more fun. We were able to jump into the swing of life without missing a step, that's how you know how amazing your friendship really is! Love that woman and Gage life they are family!
