Our Story
**Don’t mind our incredibly grumpy 3yo
Eric and I were introduced by my brother and sister-in-law in 2009. We saw each other at least once a week for dinners with friends, for almost 3 years. During that time we became close friends. We loved goofing off together, getting outdoors and having intellectual “talks” (debates)… we even talked each other through breakups. 
When Eric was relocated for his job he decided he wasn’t ok with me not being a part of his life. He called me, daily and steadily worked his way out of the “Friend Zone” with his irresistible charm, humor and devilish good looks.
Having the foundation of a close friendship meant that we knew pretty quickly that it was game over and we got married in 2013. The. Perfect. Day.
I joined Eric in beautiful Charleston, SC and we lived and loved the beach life, there for two years. At the end of those two years we welcome our beautiful, wonderful, perfect, all-American Montgomery. Monty. And he lit up our world. 
We moved to Memphis, TN and learned the ins and outs of parenthood and home-ownership. For two years we got our fill of deep southern hospitality, rich history, incredible BBQ/soul food and shocking humidity.
In late 2017 we moved to Denver, CO. Ahh Denver. This will be our long-term home and we are not mad about it! In spring 2018 we welcomed our precious Brighton. Bright. And she truly made everything brighter. And we have not stopped adventuring and exploring ever since she joined us. We are so excited to share it all with you, here!
When I married a military man I knew that there would be moves but I had NO IDEA how much traveling there would be!
