Back to the beginning...

For those of you who do not know us very well I would love to give you a little background on who we are as an individual and how we have come to where and who we are today.

I was born and raised in Elkhart to wonderful Christian parents and a stunning and adoring sister, making me the oldest of two. I grew up in a Christian surrounding going to church- first Bethany Missionary Church in Elkhart than moving to Zion Missionary Church. in 4th grade. Attending Concord Community School 1-12, I never continued on with college. My dear is to be a stay at home mom with our 2-4 kids and one day when they are all in school work for Aaron's dads company as a secretary. I work at a Coffee House in Nappanee and South Bend called Main Street Coffee House and I have to say I really enjoy my job. Ok enough about me...

Aaron was born and raised in Nappanee with wonderful Christian parents as well. He is the oldest of four with two younger sisters and a younger brother. The oldest sister just recently got married January 2010. Aaron like I grew up in a Christian home attending a few churches in his life. His family first started out at Nappanee Missionary Church but only attended a few years when he was born, than they heading to Warsaw Missionary Church where his uncle was the Pastor. Than  they started attending Zion Missionary Church where his uncle later on became the Pastor and this is where we met. He attending Northwood High School PreK-12 and is now attending Indiana University of South Bend with a double major in Human Resource and Business Management. He hopes to graduate within the next 3 year, going part time has taking him awhile :) Aaron is a department manager at Martin Supermarket in Nappanee and has been there since high school.

Aaron and I met at church when we were both 5th and 6th grade, he was the cutest boy in class :) We than became great friends and within the past 7 years started dating. We dated off and on ( he had his moments lol ) and in February 2005 we started dating for the final time and have been growing strong since than. Aaron asked me to marry him on December 5th, 2008 than married a year later on December 5th, 2009.The wedding was beautiful, our colors were a gold/champagne and a deep rose red. My sister was the maid of honor while Aaron's younger brother was the best man. You always picture what your wedding day will look like but you can dream of the most beautiful thing and your wedding day will go above and beyond your dream.  Above is just one of the many pictures from the most wonderful day. We live in Elkhart right now renting and hope to one day soon buy our first home.

Aaron has truly been a blessing in my life and has been there for me through everything. He is my best friend and soul mate and I can say I love him more today than yesterday. We hope to use this blog to help keep in touch with family and friends who we do not need or get to talk to often. Please feel free to leave any comments you would like, we would love to hear from you.
