Meet My Family

Hello, thanks for visiting. Let me begin by introducing you to my family.
First, The Love Of My Life

The Love Of My Life (TLOML) and I met in Rexburg, ID in 2005. We first met when he came to a church activity with his ex-girlfriend (she brought him to our FHE group). Then, in February, my roommate invited him over to play guitar with her at our house. After that he began hanging out every day. I remember seeing him at church one time-before I really knew him, and falling in love with his smile. He was wearing a ridiculously crazy, tye-dye hat and was so happy! Still to this day, I picture his smile first any time I think of him.
TLOML and I began dating a couple weeks after he started hanging out. I am sure I confused the poor boy, telling him one day that I couldn't wait to make valentine's cards for our grandkids, and the next day telling him I was not interested in dating any one for a LONG time. He stuck with me and by April we were engaged.
In October 2005, I was married to TLOML. Now- less than 6 years later- we have 3 kids, a steady job, and are more in love than ever!
TLOML is a great guy! He loves so many things and patiently teaches me about all of them. He has an amazing talent for music. I truly believe he can pick up any instrument and play it instantly. I love when he plays songs specifically for me on his guitar. He also loves off-roading, playing with his R/C cars, and upgrading all of his hobbies.
He is a wonderful father! The girls love going on daddy daughter dates with him, and love when he plays with them. He helps me to stay calm, and is so much more consistent than I could ever be as a parent! He is excited to have a son. The Boy loves hearing Daddy's voice and listens to it so intensely (one of the only deep voices he hears- he is otherwise surrounded by girls).
Just over 2 years ago, TLOML joined the Army. It was a scary choice but one I am glad that we made. He is currently on his first deployment and we miss him like crazy! The army made him shave off all of his beautiful, curly hair- this has been the saddest part of our army life. Well, maybe not the saddest, but I still miss his curls! Almost as much as I miss him. I love you TLOML!
