Special Moments 

Our Love Story...

This kind of love that once found can never be replaced. It is a gift from GOD.

Our love story began on February 25, 2011; our mutual friend Joni, arranged a blind date for the three of us at the now famous Abe and Louie's. Instantly, there was an attraction and the sparks flew. Our conversation was not the usual casual chit chat but one that flowed as if we had known each other for years. We talked for hours over a great bottle of French red wine.

 

After lunch, we ditched our "chaperone" and headed to one of our favorite pastimes, the movies. Our first movie was Hall Pass. The time passed too quickly for us, as we did not want the day to end. We both knew that this is it, the real deal. We had met the love of our life. Everything had started to change for us and we became inseparable.

 

We are blessed to have so much in common— the love of family, the sharing of our passions and adventures, together with our mutual quirkiness—we just work.

 

Our days are filled with walks on the beach, golfing, bike riding, exercising, family adventures, travel, and of course, the movies. Our relationship was sweetened with our beautiful and amazing children. At the time, Gianni and Francesco (1 1/2), Laura (24) and Christina (19). Suddenly, we found ourselves with new priorities and challenges.

 

Today, we are proud to say that we embrace our " Modern Family."

 

It's different, crazy at times, but always full of love and caring.

WOW, do we have something special.
