Our beginning

Paul and I are the happy parents to five beautiful children. Forest is 12, Joey is 10, Noah is 7, Slade is 5, and Joy is 2. We are so happy to be joining not just our children but ourselves into this wonderful family.
In December I moved down to Arizona with all of my belongings, or at least the ones that would fit in our huge 26' truck. On the way down Paul stopped at a scenic overlook to "check out" the truck. I was asleep and was barely aware of what was happening. He came back to tell me that I needed to come see something. Of course I freaked out that maybe the car had gotten disconnected, or the back of the truck open and stuff had come out, or we had hit something. After calming me down and telling me actually it was a good thing and to just get out of the truck I complied. We walked over the the scenic overlook, we were in Oregon at the time and pretty high up in the mountains. There was a valley or cavern that was covered in clouds below us. It was pretty cool to be above the clouds like that. Paul pointed to the edge of the rocks and said what's that, I'm like I have no idea, and he's like no what is that so I look again and see this little box and I'm like OH, I DEFINITELY have an IDEA!!!! He asked if I would marry him and be with him forever. It was beautiful and he has only continued being that sweet and wonderful.
We had a wonderful reception with lots of friends and family on Jan. 30th to celebrate our getting married. It was fun and we couldn't have done it without all the help from our families. They were wonderful. I'm including a few pictures of recent events in our lives and will continue to update as we have fun things happening!
