My Big Fat Greek Wedding

4 YEARS AGO we were running around trying to get everything ready for our wedding ceremony and reception at Paradise Cove (Southlake, Texas). Friends and family flew in from all over the world to help us celebrate!
Everything turned out so beautiful! And, more importantly, everyone had a great time! I think the open bar helped ... :)


July 2004
- After dating for 3 years, we were getting married. We just bought a house in Providence. Ryan worked at Raytheon. I was looking for a design job. We had just graduated from college a few months ago.

July 2005 - We had decided to start a family. Ryan was still working at Raytheon. I had started my own photography & design business. I was working at a newspaper.

July 2006 - We were still waiting to start a family. We got another cat, Marcus. Ryan was still working at Raytheon. I was running my business and was hired at a local sign shop. We were about to become an Aunt/Uncle (Katrina was born in September). I had just returned from a fun 3-week European vacation with my friend, Carilee.

July 2007 - We had met Korbin in Russia and were in the final stages of the adoption. We decided to move to Austin. Ryan was looking for a job in Austin. We were preparing the nursery for Korbin's arrival.

Now, July 2008, 4 years later we have a 23 month old son (he's 23 months old today)! He's the best thing that's ever happened to us. Ryan is a wonderful father. I love Ryan more and more each day and just love watching him with Korbin. Korbin is a lucky boy to have such a great role model and playmate. (I'm sure Ryan can't wait till Korbin is old enough to get his own computer with games on it... then it'll be LAN-party time... oh joy). We live in the great city of Austin. Ryan loves his new job. I have been a stay-home-mom for almost a year now and am starting to look for a job.
Tonight we are going to the Red Lobster in San Marcos, where we had our FIRST date together 7 years ago!

Our goal for the next 4 years: Be as happy as we are now, laugh a lot (should be easy with Korbin around), a little girl to complete our family, own a house in Austin, rewarding careers and a pet snake. haha
