About Us
Last Edited: 10.21.08

Hello! And welcome to our family website. We put this site together to keep in touch with family and friends around the world.

JR and I met in October 2000. After a few months of talking and getting to know each other better, it was clear we had a lot in common. We started dating in December 2000, and were engaged by April 2001. We married September 22, 2001 on the first day of Fall. It was something of a whirlwind. =)

We've been married for 7 years and we live in Virginia, USA.

We have two wonderful children. Brandon just turned 6yrs old and started Kindergarten this year. And Keira, is our little princess, almost 2yrs old.

Kimberley works in website devleopment and JR is currently attending college for Information Systems, Network Security and Administration. He should graduate in 2010.
