I am the oldest of 4 kids in the G family. My parents are Gary & Cheryl, and my siblings are Aileen (16), Andrew (13), and Arik (9). And yes, all our names do start with the letter A.
John is the 4th of 6 kids in the S family. His parents are John & Laurie, and his siblings are Traci, Kristen, Theresa, Tiffany, and James. Traci is married to Jeff, and they have two kids, Anthony (8) and Natalia (4), and another one on the way. Kristen is married to Ryan, and they have two kids, Kate (almost 2) and Alex (born in December 08). Tiffany is married to Wade and they have one kid, Noah (just turned 1).
That is our families! Everyone lives in Owasso, so we are very blessed to have them all close to us.
Now about us...
John and I met back in high school, we were in the band together. We dated off and on throughout high school, and started dating seriously June 27, 2002. We got engaged in October of 2004, and got married on August 13th, 2005.
We both attended the University of Tulsa. John graduated with a mechanical engineering degree in May 2006. I graduated with a chemical engineering degree in May 2007. After graduating, John worked for Baker Centrilift, before moving to his current job at D.P.Winch. After graduating, I went to work for Sunoco at their Tulsa refinery, where I'm at today.
We built a house in Owasso, where we moved to in August 2006. Joining us there are our three dogs:
Murphy and Daisy...
...and Smokey
In November of 2007, we found out we were expecting a baby! It was completely unplanned and therefore a total surprise, but we were very excited! Our original due date was June 27, 2008. After the ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy, our due date was pushed back to July 13th.
On July 19th, 2008, we welcomed Violet Alexandra into our lives.
She weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 21.5 inches long.
Needless to say our lives haven't been the same since!
