Lori and Eva met at work and have a couple of funny stories about that. Haha! But that is where our story started. And as our careers have grown, so has our relationship. Almost 17 years of traditions, travel, family, food, fun, and the day to day things that make us smile, yell, or cry. But at the end of each day, we are always there for each other.

Eva's first time at Disneyland and our first trip there together!

We had a blast!

And it got COLD!

One of the many concerts we have attended together. This was Linkin Park and Sublime at KFMA Day!

A very cold and rainy trip to the Fiesta Bowl to cheer on the UofA Wildcats!

Like we said, we love to travel! This was a fun trip with friends to Mazatlan.

One of our favorite pastimes, Madera Canyon! The kids have been coming with us since they were kids. And now they are bringing their kids with us!

This was the year Sofia and Emma stayed with us overnight at the cabin (ignore date listed). We love spending time with all our kids!

Another of our exciting adventures, the Rose Bowl to see Lori's Iowa Hawkeyes!

One of our many fun adventures with the kids! This one was in Oracle on a snowy day!

Our Valentine's Day brunch tradition! We count Valentine's Day as our original anniversary since our first date was on Valentine's Day 2009.

Seeing new places in our lovely Tucson!

Lori introduced Eva to the joy of Spring Training and it was an annual tradition of ours for years.

Another great trip to Disneyland, this time with Eva's family!

One of our many adventures! This was a trip to Sedona, Slide Rock, and the Lava River Cave in Flagstaff.

When we do Halloween, we really do it! This was the year we dressed up as Andy and Bran from The Goonies! Jacob was gracious enough to join us as Mikey!

This was from Halloween 2016, Lori was Frida Kahlo and Eva was Diego Rivera! Haha!

We are always introducing each other to new experiences. This was a trip to the ballet for Eva's birthday!

We clean up good when we want to!

Christmas Eve traditions with Lori's extended family.

Attending a family wedding, we were so excited about our looks/outfits!

Another of our fabulous trips to Disneyland and Eva's favorite, Galaxy's Edge!

One of our favorite things is trying out new places in Tucson. This is our first time at The Monica celebrating a special date.

Great trip to Seattle to see Megan Rapinoe play in her last home game with the Reign. Lori loves her women's soccer!

We love supporting all the kids in our lives. This was a selfie we took after cheering Emma on at her gymnastics Classic.

We love our holiday fun and traditions.

California Adventure with the kids who are not so much kids anymore! We love spending time with them and having witnessed them turning into adults over all these years.

Being asked to be Ninas to our Abel is such a special memory!

We love doting on the kids whenever we can. We bought this special custom birthday cake for Yadriel's 1st Birthday since he had to share it with Turkey Day!

The Desert Museum with Abel! We can't wait to take him on more adventures.

We love our selfies!

See? Told ya!

In case you didn't already know, we were legally married 12/31/2024, SURPRISE! And we can't wait to celebrate this milestone in our relationship with everyone we love! See you then!
