Joe and Stephanie met online in an AOL 1.0 chatroom back in January of 1997. March of 1997 they finally met face to face when Joe flew out to Arizona from New York to meet the woman he fell in love with.
April 1997 Stephanie moved back in with her parents in Michigan to be closer to Joe. There she worked as a courier and a cashier. Joe was working as a manager for Blockbuster. Stephanie's parents were getting tired of the long distance bills and invited Joe to come live with them too. Joe came to Michigan in August of 1997 but only for a few weeks then he moved back to New York. September of 1997 Joe and Stephanie became engaged.
June 20th, 1998 Joseph and Stephanie married. They honeymooned in Mackinac Island, Michigan. After the honeymoon they moved back out to Arizona, since they both love the weather there and the community as well. On December 30th 1998 Lucy was their first daughter to be born, via a scheduled c/s, due to breech presentation.
Joe continued to work hard and Stephanie grew into her new roll as mother. Soon they were expecting their second child, Scott was born on February 3rd, 2000 via a hospital VBAC.
About 7 months later and with the job situation not working well for them they decided to move back to New York. We packed up and we were soon in New York. Less than 20 hours later Stephanie and the kids (aged 2 & 3) were on a bus to Michigan to go live with her family while Joe lived with his family and searched for a job.
About a month later Joe moved to Michigan too, where he picked up his search for a job. Stephanie was working as a cashier and soon Joe was working too. They soon found a place to live as well.
Currently Joe and Stephanie turn 33 this year (2008), Lucy is 9, Scott is 8. We are still hoping to grow our family by 1-3 more if things are in order.
Joe is currently working at Cruicible Materials as a steel worker and making good money, but is still looking for extra work. Stephanie is a SAHM, working on her web-sites, and home schooling the brats. The kids are . . . well, being kids.
That about sums it up!
