On January 5th, 2000 Chris and I were sitting next to each other in a humanities class at what was then Utah Valley State College. Because it was a 3 hour class once a week our professor suggested that we find a buddy that we could rely on if we were to miss the class, work on projects together, etc. I decided to ask Chris if he would like to be my buddy. He looked at me silly and said "Sure." 11 months later on November 17, 2000 we said, "Sure," to be forever buddies and lovers :-). 8 years later we are happily together with 3 little kiddlings too. Eliza Alice (6) Lucas Christopher (5) and Oliver Gary (15 1/2 months). We are currently living in Pittsburgh, PA as Chris is attending Physicians Assistant School. We really like it here in the "Burgh." Marriage and having a family is the best decision I have made in my life. Even on most crazy days I feel blessed to be a mommy and wife.
She kept saying, " I am very frustrated with you" I kept saying, " you will be so darling once they come out, have patience Eliza." She wasn't having any of what I had to say.
The Finished Results....
