A little glimpse of us...
Our Wedding Day |

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 |
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.
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.
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.
Melissa with our good friends, Becky and Holly! Love these ladies!! |
Mark with our goofy friends at a Christmas Party...They decided to make a train...love them |
The girls being goofy at the Christmas Party. Too much! |
Big kids can go Easter egg hunting too, right? |
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! |
Approaching the finish line |
Oh you know, just gazing into each other eye's ;) Don't judge our outfits we were at an ugly sweater Christmas Party. |
