A little glimpse of us...

Our Wedding Day
Engagement photo



Our early years together

We were merely friends and then we feel in love.  We were engaged in June of 2004 and married on September 18th, 2004.  Best decision we've ever made!

Fun With Family

Our family is our prized possession.  We are so blessed to have strong, supportive families.  We have so much fun with them and truly love being around our family!


How cute is this?  Mark is with our way too adorable nephew, Beckett AND Daisy, of course.  Beckett is in love with Daisy, so it was very exciting for him to meet her.
Here we have some SMOOTH sailers!  Pictured is my dad, mom and Mark 
The Beagley's sporting our Christmas beanies made by Mark's
Grandma Smith and Aunt Meg.  Sadly, Mark's sister, Amanda and 
herhusband were unable to make it for Christmas and Matt wasn't
married yet, so we're missing his wife from the picture.





Melissa is one of those only children, but didn't really mind it.  She enjoyed all the love and attention. ;)













Mark is one of 5 kids.  He has an older sister, Amanda, then comes Mark's twin, Mike and Mark, a younger sister, Kristin and younger brother, Matt.

We feel extremely lucky to have such fun, loving in-law families that we get along with.   
Mark with Melissa's dad.  Goofballs!













Our families have made us the people we are and although we don't live close to family right now, they will be a huge part of our child's life.

We called this Mustache Mania! 








Fun with Friends

We have been lucky enough to meet some of the most awesome people.  We love our friends and the good, clean fun 
we have with them.
Mark and Melissa in the middle of part of our awesome 2012 Ragnar team. Ragnar is a 200 mile relay team that last about 36 hours straight.  You don't get any sleep, but you have one of the best times you'll ever have!  It's pure fun!

Melissa with our good friends, Becky and Holly!
Love these ladies!!

We love our friends!!  We know some just down right GOOD people.


The two of us with our crazy teammates and friends from our 2011 Ragnar team.  Good times!
Pancho is the black pup and Milo is the smaller pup.
They LOVE to bask in the sun, which is what
they are doing here.


Our Beloved Pups


We have two dogs, Milo and Pancho, who are very much a part of our family.  Milo is an 8 year old full Chihuahua.  Pancho is a 7 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix.  Both are friendly, sweet dogs.  Pancho really love EVERYONE.  Milo is a little more timid, mainly because he's so small, is our assumption.  Having said that, they LOVE to play, but they also like to relax, which is nice.




Playful Pancho



Milo and his twin













These two love to be outside, as you can see Pancho's big grin.  I'm pretty sure Milo was distracted by a bug.  We also take Pancho on our short runs, so he can burn off some of his energy.

The two of us in Traverse City.  We spent the day at
Lake Michigan on the beach.  It was fantastic!


Our life nowadays


We have spent most of our marriage in Tacoma, Washington, but recently moved to Michigan due to a job opportunity for Mark.  We are enjoying Michigan and exploring new places.

Way to work it, Mark!
