Our Story

Richie and I met through mutual friends who set us up on a blind date. We started talking on the phone about a week before we met. I told him that we are just hanging out with a group of friends and that it was not a date. We both have kids from previous marriages. Between us we have 5 kids. That was the biggest struggle. We both had different views on parenting but in the long run it all worked out. Richie proposed to me @ outback in LaPlata,Md on Dec. 20,2008. He wanted to take me to a real nice italian restraunt but relized they had closed, so Outback was the next best thing.
