About Us

How we came to be-
Ryan and I met back in 1999, when he was still a head shorter than me. :) We went to the same church, and became group buddies for a few years until he got into high school and became too cool for me. ::insert eye roll here:: Our little group, called the Mob, went our separate ways, and I didn’t really talk to him until the college years hit. We both got involved in our college group ministry at church, and became friends again pretty quickly. Friendship turned into some hard core crushing, and after a whole summer of writing emails back and forth, we became an official couple in September of 2009. Didn’t take long for us to decide that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together; we were married the following winter. He is my first boyfriend, first hand to hold, first kiss, first and only love. :) He is my very best friend and I am so honored to be his wife. :)
