We met back in 2003 at a gathering at my brother’s home in Fairview Heights, IL. Over the next several years we dated and got to know each other better. We moved to St. Charles, Missouri in 2004 and in 2005 my job relocated me to Des Moines, Iowa and my “soul mate” made the move with me and the rest was history. We were engaged on February 14th, 2007 and married in September of 2007. We have been married for 2 years.
