Well, our Love Story began with a blind date, set up by mutual friends of ours. Both of us were a little reluctant, but in the end decided to go. It ended up being an enjoyable evening with a memorable first kiss…. Although we have both experienced heartache and disappointment our beginning is one that reminds me of a song by Barry Manalow, “Ready to take a chance again”. Our love and understanding of each other has grown over the last couple years and our greatest gift and most precious shared experience was the birth of our daughter, Gillian RiAnna. She is the light in her daddy’s eye, her sister’s pride and joy and mommy’s little angel. Together with Ashlie and Alyssa, our family has grown and we look forward to what the future holds for us.
