We reconnected after Melissa took a job in Harrisburg. We spent many nights hanging out and getting to know each other. It wasn't long until we knew it would be forever for us! After living half of our time at Melissa's mom and step-dad's house and half of our time at Andy's parent's house, we decided to buy a house together! We searched far and wide for our little piece of home and finally settled on our house at the end of July 2014. We had big plans to totally renovate the house before we moved in and we were starting good progress on our house, when we had one of our biggest surprises thus far and found that we would be expecting the arrival of our first daughter, Maddox, in April of 2015. We quickly moved in to our house and continued renovations to make our house a home for our little family! We welcomed home a healthy baby girl, Maddox, April 17, 2015. We were head over heels in love immediately. She was and still is the cutest little peanut. She is so smart and has quite an independent personality at her ripe old age of 4 years now. She always keeps us on our toes and we love her so very much! People don't lie, time sure does fly even faster once you have children, fast forward a few years to January of 2018 when we got the next biggest surprise of our lives, we would be expecting the arrival of our second daughter, Marleigh, in September of 2018. Mother's day weekend of 2018 we took a kid free trip to Luray, VA, where Andy popped the big question while we were out on a hike in Shenandoah State Forest on Skyline Drive! The summer of 2018 was devoted to readying our house for a new baby and relishing in the last times as a family of 3. September 11, 2018, we welcomed home our sweet Marleigh. She came into this world fast and furious and we have adored her ever since. She is so sweet, smart and unrelentingly adorable! She loves her big sister and Maddox matches that love for her. ... and now it's time for Mommy and Daddy to take their vows, and we can't wait!!
