Our Story
We first met at our daughters (Meredith and Kayla) soccer practice August 1, 2005. I was the girls coach. We had a very exciting season. We became friends thru soccer. On March 15th, 2006 we went on our first date and have been together ever since.
A couple of weeks ago Missy had brought up a memory that was magical for us both. Probably the moment we both realized just how much we love each other. Nothing fancy, fairly simple in-fact. We had gone to Hueston Woods for a day together. We walked thru the animal exhibit talking, holding hands, laughing. Strolled over to see and feed the deers and then took a walk down the beach winding up on this little stretch of ground that reached out into the lake. There was a picnic table about 10 feet from the water. We sat at the table and talked about each other, family, children, dreams, passions, goals. Time literally seemed to stop. What seemed like a 30 minute conversation wound up being 3 or more hours. We have never had a moment like that before in our lives. This was the beginning of our great relationship. We continue to have moments like this even when the waters are rough and merky.
We do have our moments as all couples do. We have had moments of question and continue to understand and love each other.
Travel Arrangements
We have spent the last 2 years trying to decide what the perfect honeymoon would be. Well after countless hours of going back and fourth from cruises to state getaways we have made our choice.
We will be spending 8 nights at the Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Spa Resort in Cancun. During our stay we are taking a one day trip to visit the Mayan Ruins including a night show of Mayan Rituals.
Maybe do some snorkeling, horseback riding, or learning how to surf. It really doesn't matter what we are doing because we will be doing it together creating our own special memories.
A Special Message From Us

As we start this new life together as husband and wife we want you all to know that you do matter to us.

Rob and Missy
