Our history so far . . .


Since we're about to send this out for others to see, we decided to add a little section about our history as a family so far . . . ENJOY! This first picture is one of our engagement pictures. We were engaged in September 2006. If you haven't heard the story about me dropping the ring in the parking lot at Del Sol High School where we were both working at the time, you may want to ask!

The big day!


December 16, 2006: After a blizzard the night before, the freshly fallen snow was a perfect background for our wedding day in Bountiful, Utah. Rochelle's grandfather performed the ceremony, and after an Italian style luncheon for family and friends, we celebrated with many others at our reception in Lindon.

Aloha!

After a couple of days in Salt Lake City, we left a winter wonderland for tropical paradise! A week in Kauai was everything we'd hoped for and more! We returned to the mainland on Christmas Eve, just in time to celebrate our first Christmas together with family and friends before heading back to Las Vegas for our New Year's Day open house, and then back to school!

Cuernavaca, Mexico!


In June 2007 we traveled down to central Mexico so Rochelle could take part in a 2-week language immersion program. We had an amazing time in Cuernavaca ("the land of eternal spring") and made some great friends down there, and Rochelle learned a lot.

San Antonio


In August 2007, we decided to explore our options for the future and visited San Antonio, Texas so Rochelle could see what it was like. We loved it! Maybe we'll move there someday . . .

Then we found out we'd become 3!


In September of 2007, we first found out that Rochelle was expecting! Needless to say, we were excited and felt very blessed. Later that fall, we found out we were having a little girl!

Ringing in 2008!




With the pending arrival of our little girl, we decided to take one last trip as a couple and headed south of the boarder on a wonderful cruise to start 2008 and celebrate our 1st anniversary.

Our daughter joins us


May 4, 2008 . . . the little light of our life joins our family and changes us forever!
