We met in 1996 in St. Louis when I was a foreign exchange student...stayed friends after I went home and in 2002 I moved to Southern Missouri to go to college - luckily he had moved to the area a few years earlier so I was familiar the area from my many trips over here - I LOVE to travel. We started dating again and had a beautiful daughter three years later. Another three years go by - time flies when you are having fun - and we got married.
