The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Nikki and Rocco met on the night of August 18, 2013 in Downtown Redlands. It was Rocco's birthday weekend and he initially had plans to be out of town but instead, had a local gathering of him and his guys. Little did he realize that he'd have other plans in store for him (Hint: He met his wife that night). In a room full of people, Rocco spotted Nikki. He took a shot of liquid courage and made the first move of walking up to her. She was holding a beverage of her own (which also happened to be one his favorites). He took her drink, drank it, and whispered in her ear: "I owe you another". (Smooooth). They danced the night away and journeyed through eight years of life side by side.

Little Rocco and Big Rocco are a dynamic Father and Son Duo. When Big Rocco and Nikki started dating, his term of endearment for her was 'Babe'. Little Rocco was a one-year-old at the time when Nikki and him first met and he assumed this was her 'actual' name. Fast forward to eight years later, they're both still calling her 'Babe'. Together as a family, you'll catch them riding their ATVs and electric bikes, off roading in Big Rocco's 4WD "Red", and being in the good ol' outdoors.
