How mom and dad met






On October 18, 2004, mom met dad at Aunt Anna and Uncle Kevin's house in Houston, Texas. Dad, who is Anna's older brother, was home on leave from Iraq. Dad is a veteran of the United States Army 82nd Airborne division stationed in Ft. Bragg, Fayetteville, North Carolina. He served as a paralegal for 4 years in the Army - one year of which was spent in Baghdad, Iraq.

In December, 2004, dad moved to Houston to begin his career post-Army, and get to know mom better. On Memorial Day weekend, 2005, dad proposed to mom on Lake Houston as the sun was setting. Just over a year later, on June 3, 2006, mom and dad got married at Heaven on Earth in Missouri City, Texas.

2 years has passed since then, and mom and dad are anxiously awaiting my arrival.
