In the beginning...

The story of our origins as a family is really overall a rather boring one. Erik and I met while I was still in junior high. I think we were destined to meet one way or another, we grew up in the same town, attended the same junior high and high school and had many of the same friends. It was actually our common interest in dancing, or more precisely our friends interest in dancing that brought us together. Our friends had started an after school dance class/group and we were invited, by different friends to attend. One thing lead to another and we were married shortly after I graduated from high school.

We have been blessed with three children, each an independant free spirit. We have had what feels like more than our share of struggles, but as they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. We have continued to dance, and some days that is the connection that keeps it all together, the neutral common ground where we can go to work things out, the outlet that keeps us "sane".
