Our Family

John and I met on April 28, 2006. I was working full-time in Cardholder Implementations at NCSECU, and he was working part-time in Archives at NCSECU while still in college. (Mind you, I had just completed my first year of being out of college - that's right, I'm about 2.5 years older than John.)

It wasn't long after that until our first date on June 16, 2006 to the Braid Paisley concert at Walnut Creek Amphitheater.

Here we are as just a couple of kids on our first date.

Neither of us realized at the time that we'd marry just four years, one month and one day after our very first date. As with most normal dating couples, we had our ups and downs. During one of the "downs," Milo joined Becky's life on October 7, 2006.

Through it all, we survived dating and got engaged on December 4, 2009. We were married on July 17, 2010 and became...
