Diego: My hubby. He's crazy and goofy, we are complete opposites and come from very different worlds, but I love him with all my heart. We met online and started chatting full force in Fall 2006. In January 2007, we met in person for the very first time. We got engaged in August 2007 and we got married on August 30, 2008.
Jennica: Mi hermana! We're sisters and the best of friends. Only 3 1/2 years apart, we are very much alike, yet also different. We tend to do most everything together and can often be found going on drives around the countryside, talking about all the different places we want to visit, or daydreaming about the diner/bakery/business that we hope to eventually open.
Mom (JoAnn): I truly don't know what I would do without my mom! She's the glue that holds our family together. She's one of the most thoughtful and considerate people that I know and is always putting others needs before her own. She's always there with an encouraging word to comfort me when I need someone to talk with. She's more than just my mom, she's become my friend.

Dad(Alan): Known for his bone-crushing handshake, my dad is a man of strength--physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. With this strength comes a soft heart that is very sensitive to the voice of God. He is always willing to help those in need and will reach out to a stranger. He is truly one of the most generous people that I know.
Snickers: My favorite doogle in the whole world! Her full name is Snickers, but I call her Snick, Snicky, or Snickle. She's been with us a long time--- almost 11 years. She's one of the most ADORABLE dogs ever! Supposedly she's half dalmation and half border collie. She seriously has the cutest face ever! I swear, she must know English because sometimes it's as if she understands what we're saying. Snick started out as my dog, but over time she has become the family dog. She'll be staying here when I move to Cali, and I'm going to miss her so much. :(
