Through the years...

Tonight is our engagement anniversary... I had to hunt for pictures of just Tim and I together that were good... most of them were with the kids. We love our kids but I wanted this post to be just about him and I.

We have been through a lot together and I can not help but be sentimental about all the joys and sorrows that we have shared together and know that there will be more a long the way, the road will never be perfect there will be bumps and detours but as long as we are together we will weather it through.

Celebrating a milestone ... graduation from Nursing School!

Can't you tell? We are in love!

Heading out to attend Lean's wedding

Yup, he cleans up nice!



I think we look good together - if I say so myself!

Formula One Race!

We stopped by at this courthouse in Greensburg, Indiana. As you can see there is a tree growing inside the building.

We were on our way to Argosy Casino to celebrate my birthday.

What I wore on Tim and I's "unofficial"first date



What he wore!
It seems like this is his traditional outfit for any of the races we have been to since then. Tim would wear his shorts the first time the sun is out it does not matter wheather it is in the middle of winter.

Tim proposed while we were in Ft Myers. He and I took our usual drive around his parents neighborhood with his Dad's golf cart. We spent most of the day in the beach and was tired but wanted some alone time. We were standing in front of the gate leading into the neighborhood pool when he asked me to marry him.

Happy Engagement Anniversary!

Walking back up to the cabin.

Here is the cabin that we stayed at. It was beautiful! We loved it!

It was right on Au Train River.
Tim did all the planning (as always) he does a great job putting together our family vacations. One of the many things that he is good at.

Turkey Water Levels Meet

We attended Chaye's diving meet yesterday afternoon. Lo and behold we were a few hours late. She was supposed to be there at 1045 for Level 2 on 3m and we did not get there until 1 pm. Needless to say our schedules have been crazy and I was just behind this week. She got to complete the 1m and did wonderful and actually got the much coveted Elite Pass to Level 4. Way to go Chaye! I have one good picture I was able to take that I will attach later. It is hard to get action shots when you are too far. Noah and I endured the heat in the Natatorium at HSE High School while Chaye was diving. Tim went to Lafayette with Jack to watch the IU @ PU game. Eli spent the afternoon with my parents. Today it is back to regular schedule for us. Eli is still requiring breathing treatments every 4 hours which involves holding him down. Chaye is at diving practice till 7:30 pm. Noah is enjoying the afternoon being big brother and playing with Eli. Tim intermittently working on Eli's room every chance he gets.

Keeping up to date

Every year we have every intention of staying connected with families and friends but every year we get busier and busier. Between Noah's football games or basketball games, Chaye's diving and social calendar and Eli growing up too fast. Tim and I could barely keep up with each others schedules at times. This is a way of us staying connected and keeping everyone up to date. We hope that you will come and regularly check us out.
