About Me

JR has been a paramedic for Ada County for the last 9 years. I also work for Ada County Paramedics in the Logistics Department. JR and I have known each other since middle school. He liked me in highschool, but I thought he was too goofy. We started dating our second year in college. We were married August 14th 2004 and had our little Madison July 30th 2008. Colin completed our family on October 11th, 2011.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY


Madison loves her chair

JR and I went to Hallmark today to buy each other valentines day cards. We have been reading the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace book and JR had a brilliant idea. We are cutting out any extra spending, so from now on we are going to take each other to Hallmark, pick out a card, show it to each other, and then put it back. We will be doing that with friends and family also :) That way we still get a lovely card, but we don't have to spend the money :) We hope everybody has a wonderful Valentines day with the people they love and that we love you too.

What a beautiful wedding!!!!! Michala Golden and Mark Iverson were married this past saturday the 6th of February. The day ended up being beautiful with some sun and no rain (Friday rained all day). The wedding was at 4 pm and afterwards was the reception from 5 to 11pm. The wedding went off without a hitch. Madison did great, she was so eager to go down the aisle that she almost ran over the ringbearer. It was wonderful to see so many of Michala's friends, Mark's family and friends, and Peace Corp people make it to the wedding. We want to thank everybody for braving the winter weather to attend my baby sisters wedding. Thank you Aunt Monie and Aunt Patti for all of your help (and to everybody else.... the Ellison's, Mom, Dad). Our wonderful friend Greg Sommers officiated the wedding and he promised he'd officiate Madison's wedding in fifty years :)

The reception was a lot of fun. JR got on the dance floor and was so inspiring that Dad even danced some. I received a lap dance (from JR)!!!!! The great part was seeing all of the 19 Peace Corp people dancing to the Bulgarian music..... it was so much fun. We even had a ton of help after to tear down the reception site. All of the wonderful Peace Corp volunteers continued to volunteer, they were so eager they took down things that didn't need to be taken down as well as my aunts, Mom and Dad, the Sommers, and the Ellison's. I will add more photos as I get them.
The happy couple are honeymooning in St. Lucia!!!
