Alittle bit about us...

Tom and I met at The University of Scranton during Singers. It was the spring of 1999. Being members of Singers, we were expected to sing at commencement which was a good week after finals. To help pass time, we would head up to Chapman Lake for a few days where the school owns a retreat center. Tom and I met playing cards. At this time, he was interested in somebody else and felt threatened by me as I kicked some major butt playing SPIT. We both went our separate ways during the summer. When I returned in the fall, we became friends during Singers and eventually started to "hang out". One thing led to another, and we started seeing each other in December 1999. We eventually got engaged and married on September 1, 2001. We then welcomed our daughter, Gabriella Elizabeth, into this world on November 28, 2001. Almost 2 years later, on November 25, 2003, we welcomed our son, Thomas Anthony, into this world (And no, neither child was planned. I would never have 2 children so close in birth dates and in beginning of the crazy holiday season!)
Gabriella is currently 6 1/2 and finishing up Kindergarten. She has rocked all year long and is ready for first grade. In addition to school, Gabriella is in Girl Scouts and takes ballet & jazz. In the fall she also plays soccer. She is 100% girl, all drama and emotions!
Thomas is currently 4 1/2 and finishing up his first year of Preschool. Next year is 5 morning Pre-kindergarten. Thomas helps me with the chores when his sister is at school and also enjoys attending Kindermusik and libary storytime. He will also be playing soccer in the fall. Thomas is 100% boy, full of energy and creates non stop chaos!
Tom works for ADP in their implementation department. Tom graduated from Scranton in 1996 with his BS and 2004 with his MS.
In addition to being a stay at home mom, I pass my time by teaching at The University of Scranton, working per diem weekends at a local hospital, working for a home health agency and being a Daisy Girl Scout Leader. I graduated from Scranton in 2001 with my BS and in 2002 with my MS.
We finally built a house and moved into it on April 1 2007. Needless to say, we are settled and happy in Pennsylvania!

We hope that through this blog we can share with you the many wonderful moments we have as a family. We thank Jay for sharing his blog and giving us the idea to create our own. Hope you enjoy!
