About Us
Married in June 2000 after a 3 week engagement. After living in Provo, UT for several months they moved to Oconomowoc, WI (say that 3 times fast, I dare you!) and lived there during a very snowy and harsh winter. After months of thought, Howard joined the Air Force in the Spring of 2001. They packed up and moved to Texas for the summer of 2001. After leaving the dreadful heat of Texas, they were blessed to move to Spokane, WA where they had 2 of their children. In 2005 they relocated to Okinawa, Japan and had 2 more children there. Now currently living in Oklahoma since 2009 they are enjoying themselves until the next move the Air Force sends them on.
