Our Future As A Family

In January 2006, we were both working, and Nikki was going to school to be a Rad Tech. We were so in love, and couldn't spend enough time together. In fact, almost 7 years later we are still so in love, and are always together (with the exception of work hours; we joke all the time that it's probably not "normal" to want to be around each other so much, but then again who defines "normal").

Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a wife and mother. I love children! We have several nieces and nephews between us that we've enjoyed watching grow up, and love being a part of their lives. The youngest two, Kabrian and Ava, are especially close to us. They are my sister's kids. They just moved here a little less than a year ago from Tennessee. They have played a major role during the past year, as far as "helping our hearts to heal".

Getting back on track (I have a tendency to ramble, Nikki always picks on me that I can't leave not one little detail out of a story; I have to admit, she's right, most times she is). Almost from the beginning of our relationship we talked about having children. We dreamed of what our life would be like with a house full of children's laughter, little feet running around, etc. All the things that most couples dream of.

Nikki graduated in October 2008, and soon had a good job working as a Rad Tech for a doctor's office. We were living in a small 2 bedroom, 1 bath house, but we loved it. It was "our little brown house, on the corner lot, lined with trees". But, we knew we would need a bigger home before we had children. So we started to save money just for that: our future as a FAMILY.
