About Us

Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.

Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

Happy Anniversary!

A lot has happened since I met Andy almost three years ago. Met, dated, fell in love, got married, bought a house, had a baby, and spent two wonderful years together as husband and wife! How life changes in the blink of an eye.

The night before my first date with Andy, I'd been out on yet another horrible date. I came home, walked in the door, and told my mom I wasn't dating any more for a LONG time. I even told her I was going to call and cancel my blind date with Andy. She, thank goodness, told me that it was rude to cancel since we already had plans and that all I had to do was make it through one more date, and then I could take a long needed break from dating.

Boy, am I evern glad that she talked me into keeping my date with Andy. We went to the buffett at Little America hotel for dinner, went to temple square to see the lights, and then watched Christmas Vacation (my all time favorite movie!). We had so much fun. I came home that night, and my mom said "how'd it go?" I told her I was going to marry him. She told me I was crazy, but I just knew he was the one. It's funny how all the married people just tell you that "you'll know" when you've found the right person. I always wondered what they meant, but now having had that experience, I too just tell people . .. "you'll know." It's a feeling that is hard to describe.

Anyway, I couldn't be happier! I found my perfect man, I have a great home in a wonderful neighborhood, and we have the cutest son ever! Okay, so my opinions may be a little biased, but I am so happy with how things have turned out. God really does know what's best for us, and when it will be best for us!

Here are a few pictures of Andy and I on our wedding day!

Happy Anniversary Babe! I love you!
