Our Family

Rob & I got married on August 5, 2006 in Post Falls, Idaho with many of our family members and friends present. We are now home in our new, beautiful home in Hayden, Idaho, a structure that Rob & I helped design from start to finish. I'm now a step-mother of 3 teenagers: Justin (19), Kylie (16) and Christopher (14), all of which live with Rob & me.

Our summer was busy. We spent 2 weeks in Southern California visiting Rob's sister and his mother while we were homeless. Yes, I said homeless. I sold my house in Spokane at the end of May and Rob sold his house in Coeur d'Alene at the beginning of July. Our new house in Hayden was done August 2, just in time for family and friends to start arriving for the wedding. (Rob & I learned a very valuable lesson from this: It's not wise to sell a house, build a house and plan a wedding all at the same time!) While in Southern California Chris had baseball camp at Cal State Fullerton for a week. He's a catcher and Rob & I really wanted him to go to a camp that would focus on his position and one that would prepare him for high school baseball. I think this camp was a good choice & Chris seemed to have a good time. We also went to back to back Anaheim Angels baseball games against the Indians. We're all huge Angels fans so this was an AWESOME time for each of us. We also spent a day at KnottsBerry Farm, which was more fun for Ky, Chris and me rather than Rob. Rob's not a big fan of rollercoasters. We drove home, yes drove, just in time to send Ky to NBC basketball camp at Whitworth College and to move into the new house and get married.

Rob & I went to Vancouver B.C. for our honeymoon to watch the play "Phantom of the Opera." We loved the play and we both want to see it again.

Ky & Chris are back to school, both now in high school. Ky is driving and working at Cold Stone Creamery to help pay for her car. Chris is playing football for the freshman team. He is the starting safety. Justin just got a full-time job at Verizon & is living with us for just a short time while he saves up to get his own apartment.

This is our family. More to come!
