Christmas 2011

On Christmas, Jason came over along with my parents and Aunt Shannon and we all watched the girls open their presents. The girls got all sorts of things including the famed Nintendo DS and Leapster that they had both been begging santa for. After we opened presents it was off to my Aunt Stephanies house in Oregon to spend the day there. We had a great time. The food was delicious and the company was even better.






















Christmas Eve 2011

We went to my moms. My aunt Shannon was there and she brought king crab legs from Alaska!

It begins

Louis and I got together October 21, 2011.

From the first day we met, we were basically inseparable. Due to our situations, it did take a while to get all of our girls together, and get them meshed together.

Although Louis and I got together in 2011, our individual lives didn't mold into one until 2012.

We will start our blog in 2012, when each of our lives and ways slammed together and turned into OUR LIFE.
