Update: Congratulations to Rick & Christi! They adopted a girl in April!
We first met through mutual friends. As time went by, we kept running into each other, and eventually we became good friends. After a few months of friendship and laughter, we began dating, and have been happily married since 1996.
We always knew we wanted children, and in 2003, our daughter Bella was born. Christi, who was working as a marriage and family therapist prior to Bella's arrival, left her job to be a stay at home mom. We have always felt incredibly fortunate that Christi has been able to stay at home to raise Bella, and she eagerly looks forward to doing the same when our next child arrives. Rick works in technical support, and his office is less than 15 minutes away from our home and he is home from work most nights by 5:30.
As a family we enjoy spending time together going swimming, playing games, going to the park at the end of our street, playing with our dogs, having family movie nights and spending time with our family and friends. We love to visit Disneyland and take a few short trips there each year. We love going to the beach in San Diego, California each summer. We also enjoy going to Pinetop in Northern Arizona for the Fourth of July each year with Christi's parents, grandparents, and her brothers, sister, and their families. We go hiking, ride the go-karts, watch the fireworks while eating ice cream, and enjoy the cool weather while having a great time with our family.
We share a lot of love and laughter, and we hope to have another child join our family and share in those special times with us.
