We have both talked and talked about starting a blog, and now we have finally done it!
To begin, I feel that I will give an overall update about us and our fantastic life...
John and Laura (the parents) have been married since July, 19 2008. John was a Captain in the United States Marine Corps and was working at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. Laura was an account coordinator for the Active Network. We met and were married in the beautiful city of San Diego, it was quite a dream come true. Our wedding took place on the 50th Anniversary of Laura's grandparents, Barbara and Wally Doren, and in the same church, Torrey Pines Christian Church, where Laura's parents, Mark and Kathe Beardsley, and all of Laura's aunts were married.
In December of 2008, the Marine Corps took us on our first adventure...off to Lawton, Oklahoma! John attended an advanced artillery school for Officers and Laura tagged along for the fun!! Trips to Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska and even driving through 8 states on our trip out brought lots of new experiences...more about that later. Mid-April of 2009 we found out something extremely surprising...we were pregnant!! So, the next months were spent fighting morning sickness and the Army hospital for appropriate care, by the end we were REALLY excited to leave.
Next stop we thought would be North Carolina...oh, but God had other plans! Off to Spokane, Washington...so we spent some great time in Nebraska before taking off to Spokane in August 2009 and had more fun experiences driving through Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and finally Washington!! It was SO refreshing to be back in the Pacific NW. Laura was happy to be out of the car being about 5 months pregnant and the pups were ready to run...
The end of the summer brought some great visitors and we really enjoyed experiencing Spokane. John is the Inspector Instructor of Batter P, a Marine reserve artillery battery. Miss Scarlett Marie Stevens blessed our lives with her arrival on December 7, 2009 and our story truly begins...we have started our family!
