Our Family Story

Tim and I met in track when I was in the 8th grade and Tim was a freshman in highschool.  He was voluntold to help the Jr. Highers learn how to do high jump, and I was one of them.  After that Spring, we didn't see each other again, but Tim couldn't get me off his mind. :)  When I returned to the high school Tim attended to take a choir class, he decided to do something about it...he sent me roses for Valentine's Day.

Track started shortly after that and we found ourselves on the same team again.  I was not allowed to date until I was 16, but Tim asked me to the prom anyway.  My mom and dad granted that one allowance.  After the prom, we developed our friendship over the next year and a half as we waited for me 16th birthday to roll around.  It finally did and we have been together ever since.  Near Thanksgiving in 2003, Tim proposed to me while we were on a horse ride together.  I, of course, said yes.  One October 9, 2004 we were married.

Within a week of our wedding, we left home for Robins AFB, Georgia which was our first station.  3 and a half years later, we found out we were pregnant and when I was about 4 months pregnant we got our wish and moved back to Washington where we are now stationed on Fairchild AFB.  Cian was born August 9, 2008 - a perfect little boy who made us a family.
