Jaci:
I’m almost 26, I went to MSU-Moorhead and obtained my Bachelor of Art, Emphasis in Photography in December 2005. I’ve been a stay at home mom since May 2008. I also sell Tupperware.
Chris:
He’s almost 26, he attended Northwest Technical College and received his Associates in Microcomputer Networking Technology. He works for Minnesota State Community and Technical College (same place he received his degree, just with a new name).
Together:
We have three dogs: Emma, an apricot mini poodle/bichon girl, spayed, born May 2001; Alec, a black mini poodle boy, neutered, born July 2002; and Gunther, a fawn St. Bernard/Anatolian Shepherd Dog boy, neutered, born May 2004. We also have two cats: Calvin and Hobbes, both neutered boys, Calvin is white, Hobbes is an orange tabby, born July 2001.
We have been dating since 1999 (first date: MHS Homecoming, October 9, 1999, boyfriend/girlfriend: November 5th, 1999) when we were both 16. I moved out of my dad’s house and into an apartment in June 2002 and Chris moved in with me that December. We moved again in 2003 to a duplex, and bought our first house together in 2004, closing date: June 30th, 2004.
Chris asked me to marry him on that same house closing date of June 30th, 2004 because it corresponded to the day I returned home from a month-long trip to Scotland. Of course, I said yes, and we were married on September 23, 2006.
We found out we were expecting on February 28, 2007 and Connor arrived via c-section on October 25, 2007. Since then we’ve been busy being parents, working on our house, and slowly trying to get our debts paid off.
