Info on us

I was born and raised in Southern California, as was Mike. We met in 1996 and started dating that july. Mike was my first boyfriend. When Mike was 18 he decided to see the world and joined the US Army. He got as far as Fort Lewis Washington. I, still in high school, stayed in Southern California. Mike and I were married July 8, 2000. It was time for me to venture out of the comfort of California and join him in Washington. Mike did his 4 years and got out of the army in 2001. September 15, 2001 4 days after September 11th, yes that was a long 4 days. We both loved Washington and made the decision not to return to our family in California and instead build our life here. Mike fell into the mortgage business and now runs his own office proudly named Trust Home Lending. We bought a house, got 2 dogs, so what was next? The baby. On August 30, 2005 we discovered we were expecting our first child. 40 weeks and 2 days later Makaylee Ann Hale was born at 11:23pm. Let the games begin!

Here is a picture of Mike and I:
