Life In 2004 I find myself living in Chesapeake, Virginia with my beautiful wife Brandy, our 3 year old daughter Hannah, and our newborn son Riley. Brandy and I wed in 1999 in Streamwood, Illinois. We met while both of us were working for Household International, in our Las Vegas, Nevada location. Brandy was born at the Great Lakes Naval Station. She has lived all over the country, as her Father served 20 years in the Navy. She spent most of her life living in Virginia, which is why we moved here shortly after our wedding. She was her High School Class Valedictorian and graduated from Old Dominion University with honors. Meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to me...Only equalled by the birth of our children. Hannah is by far the most beautiful little girl in the world. I know most of you out there are parents, and can relate to me when I make that statement. Having her in my life has brought out so many wonderful things it is incredible. In September we gave birth to our son Riley. We are extremely blessed that God gave us such beautiful children. Brandy and I moved into our first (and current) home in July 2000. We had a house built on an acre and a quarter lot, just on the edge of the country. Half of our back yard is protected land, so we cannot tear down any of the trees on it. We have a small creek that runs through the back, and we love looking out our back windows to see nothing but nature. We have seen a buch of animals come through our back yard, including: deer, rabbits, squirrels, a red fox, numerous types of birds, and a groundhog Hannah named "Billy". We (and Hannah) get a kick out of watching him climb up the bank of the creek and eat the grass in our back yard for his breakfast. Getting back to our daughter Hannah...We welcomed her into the world on 9/9/01. We were so excited about her arrival. The reality of being parents set in quickly, as the day we took her home from the hospital is when the tragic events of 9/11 occurred. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!!! Hannah is the apple of our eye, her grandparent's too. We welcomed Riley into the world on 9/7/04. Brandy's parents moved back to this area in 2001 so they could be near their 2 latest grandchildren as they grow up. Brandy's Sister and her family moved here from Boston in 2002. It is nice to have a small group of family out here with us. Unfortunately my Mother did not get a chance to meet Hannah as we lost her to Cancer exactly 1 month before Hannah was born. To honor my Mother, we gave Hannah my Mom's first name (Camille) as her middle name. While my Mom never did get a chance to meet her in person, I know that she is looking over us and watching out for Hannah form above!!! My Father retired form his printing job in 2001, and is living in Oswego, Illinois (just south of Aurora). My sister Lori married in 1998 and is living in San Antonio, Texas with her Husband Craig and their daughters Madison(3) and Morgan (1). My little sister Alex...Expand for more
