How We Came to Be...

*Editor's Note: This was originally a long, detailed, BORING post about how Cori and I met, etc. etc.  Even I got bored with it and it's my story.  So I'm cutting to the chase in this edited version.*

Cori and I grew up going to church together.  One thing led to another and when we were 23, we got married.  We were close friends first and I don't know how anybody does it any other way!  It really makes things so much easier and worthwhile.  We lived in Akron, Colorado for 2.5 years, then moved so Cori could continue his education at CSU.  In August 2007 we bought our first house, and have been living in Fort Collins, Colorado since then.  We love it here!  That said, I'm always looking at houses and places to move-so if you've got something interesting, I'd love to see it!.  I guess I just like the change, and I like being forced to go through all our junk each time we move.  That's strange I know, but I'm becoming more and more minimalist as time goes on, and I'm always curious about how people get rid of junk/clutter/stuff, or organize, or decorate it, or upcycle it, etc.

Wedding Day

We got married on  December 3, 2004, and it seems like the time has flown by.  I always say that while the wedding day was fun and important, and all that jazz, there are so many bigger things to come.  And I don't mean bigger parties or days that we spend more time planning.  Just more important things.  So it really doesn't matter if your flowers are wrong or some detail isn't quite right or if it rains on the big day.  What matters is that you are officially beginning your life and marriage with your partner.  And that means so much more than a white dress and some cake.  Anyway, enough philosophizing...
