We are like any average couple. We met in high school, dated shortly after, went to college in different cities while still committed, graduated college, got engaged, and after eight years of dating, we got married. Now it's been almost 13 years since Brian asked me to our first date, his Junior Prom. Little did I know that I was not only saying, "yes" to Prom, but I was also saying, "yes" to spending the rest of my life with this man...boy...but now man. Okay, so maybe we didn't do things the traditional way, but it works for us. We met in Sacramento, got engaged in San Diego, then moved to Las Vegas where we have been almost five years. We have three beautiful girls. Keira, who is three, Kallissa is a year and a half, and Obi-Wan, our yellow Lab is four. We love to travel and spend time as a family. Our kids are our life and we wouldn't have it any other way. We have been told that Brian and I are perfect for each other. We get along pretty well but we do have our disagreements. Like...um...um...oh, what TV show to watch first or what movie to watch at night. We even argue about who gets to hold the remote so we can fast forward through the commercials. Well we are not perfect, but we learned over the past 13 years that communication is the key to a healthy relationship and we both help each other out to make things easier. We both left our selfish behavior behind us when we got married and had children. This is not a "we are better than everyone" spiel, we just like people to know that you can have your differences and have a healthy relationship at the same time. And trust me, we do have our differences. Although we are both a little geeky. Who else do you know names their female dog a male name just because they love Star Wars?
