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.

Look at you--on the ball! Since Andy is hunting you can come and stay with us! You will have to leave Norma at home though, but you can bring Ethan. We are only a flight and a layover away! How is school? I miss you and Lindsey. I think we had too much fun last year--and when I say "fun" I mean complaining about being pregnant, being stressed out of our minds to find subs, and losing our breath halfway up the stairs. It must have been fun for Lindsey to watch us! I want to get together with you when I come back for Christmas--I think Cafe Rio will be appropriate. :)
