Little Ham

We have another ham in the family!  Is anyone really surprised with Jake being his dad? :) 

It all started with a pair of snow pants...

It all started 6 years ago.   Jake and I had barely known each other when he showed up at my house wearing a giant blow up ostrich costume.  when I answered the door he said hello and came walking right in.  He said hello to my mom and asked her for a tomato sandwich!  I didn't know what to think.  Here was this random kid from school visiting with my mom in my kitchen like they were already good friends.  

I knew then that I kinda liked him. 

Later on in the school year I saw him in the hall wearing a red power ranger costume made  for a 5 year old.  (it was pretty snug on him)  I asked him what he was doing and he told me about a handicapped kid in his math class that really liked power rangers so he wanted to do something nice for him. 

I decided I liked him a little more.

I was president of the drill team at the time and we were practicing on the football field every morning for 3 hours in a foot of snow wearing our dance pants and dance shoes. I called Jake and asked if I could borrow a pair of snow pants for practice. He of course said "sure come on over!"   While i was there, we shared our first kiss.    

Now I really liked him.  

that's how it all began.  The story of Jake and Marianne.  3 years later we were married.

 

We always knew we wanted to be sealed for eternity in the temple.  a year later on August 21st we were

It's been 3 amazing years! and here we are today, a 20 month old and I am 71/2 months pregnant with our next little adventure!  we've made it this far and are looking forward to many more years (and kids) to come!
