love story

most stories go somewhat like this: boy meets girl. boy and girl fall in love. boy and girl get married and make lots of babies.

ours is a little different...

s & l meet. at young life camp. s & l fall in love. shit happens and they break up.

(i don't have any pictures from this time in our life. i deleted them in anger. big mistake.)

l is lost, lonely, and depressed at purdue. gets pregnant senior year.

l has j. 8 lbs. 10 oz. a perfect baby.

(so i tried to nurse one day. that did not go over so well.)

l and j plan to take on the world. and screw anyone who tries to stop them.

 (august 2007)

 (june 2008)


s & l reunite. realize they've been best friends all along. a perfect match.
s meets j. realize they were made for eachother. two peas in a pod.

s & l get married. in the most perfect ceremony on the most perfect day ever. followed by a celebratory meal at buffalo wild wings.

 (september 2009)

s adopts j. all three of j's names change. l gets pregnant again (this time, planned).

(don't mind the picture - dealing with some serious contractions here.)


c was born. 9 lbs. 4 oz. holy cow.

(february 2011)

and life was perfect. our family was complete. 

totally not the end....
