We met in late April 2004, at the beginning of what proved to be a wonderful summer! Sally was moving into the apartment complex where Joe had lived for a while, and Joe spied her moving in. He came over to introduce himself that evening and we soon became friends. We saw each other nearly every day over the next two months, and had fun doing things such as canoeing, hiking, night games, swimming, and just hanging out with friends. By the end of those two months, Sally realized that Joe was her best friend, and wished that she could date him, because she knew she wanted to marry her best friend. Little did Sally know that Joe had been waiting to date her! Well, the truth finally all came out, and after two weeks of "officially" dating, we began discussing marriage. By August we were engaged!
December 2004
We were married in December, and have been loving life together ever since! We will soon celebrate 7 years of marriage, and now live in Texas, where Joe works as a medical resident and Sally stays at home, taking care of Caleb & Ella and running the home.

Waiting for a SeaWorld show, Spring 2012
In addition to being a mommy, Sally loves to craft and sew; cook and bake; read books; paint; and just be together as a family. Most recently, Sally started taking swimming lessons from her sister-in-law, and she is excited about that. She also has a new goal of writing and maybe illustrating her own children's book, and is loving working in her spring garden. (And she just realized that the two of us almost never take pics together! Need to work on that... ;)
Daddy & kids time, at SeaWorld, Spring 2012
Joe loves his work in the hospital, but when he is not working or studying, he especially loves to spend time as a family, whether it's going to the zoo, going swimming, or just playing in the backyard together! When he can find the time, he also loves to play sports, especially basketball; read books with Sally; and go camping.
