Baltimore to New York to Greensboro

So, I was seriously doubted the flight home from Baltimore last night, until I saw the sparkling lights of New York City and a lunar eclipse. I thought that flying from Baltimore to New York and then to Greensboro was just a crazy idea, but I’m glad that I did it anyway, even if I didn’t get home until after midnight. When I left Baltimore it was snowing and they had to de-ice the plane before we could take off, but from New York to Greensboro it couldn’t have been any clearer. It was beautiful.

Did someone say SNOW?

We woke up this morning to about 2 inches of snow. BEAUTIFUL!!!

HOME and of course Zoey

Fluffy Snow

our life

Updating our story written in Green.
original written Feb, 8 2008.

Our story begins in the fall of 1999 when friends became soul mates (i know it sounds corny, but it's true). If you ask any of our friends they'd tell you that they would have never thought of us being together. I think some even made bets on how long our marriage would last; I guess we proved them wrong. We were married May 19, 2002. Which in just a few short months we will celebrating our 10 year anniversary. 

our wedding day

the belmont estates
reidsville north carolina

When Jennifer's mother passed away in 2000 she had an opportunity to go to college, which she never thought would happen. So with the financial support of her mother's company she started studying Interior Architecture (iarc) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. iarc was her life, a place where she grew confidence and gained many lasting friendships. (sometimes i miss it, well... except for the all nighters).

In 2004 (4th year)
Jennifer found out she was expecting and on february 2, 2005 (ground hogs day) Madison Kaye changed our lives forever. Jennifer took a year off from departmental studios and worked on other general ed classes as well as as being a teaching assistant for many iarc classes. Finally Jennifer graduated in may 2007. While Jennifer was in school Vic was working as a truck driver traveling all over the country. He enjoyed the freedom of the road but was glad give it up in october 2006. After graduation we moved to Baltimore where Jennifer got a job with Gensler Architecture, Design & Planning Worldwide and Vic was working for ATI Performance Products building parts for drag race cars. Anyone who know Vic knows he loves drag racing. (now if I'd only let him drive one). But, after 6 months Jennifer's grandparents got really sick and her father passed away very suddenly. We knew that we needed to be HOME! So in November we back to the old 'boro. Jennifer's company has been so gracious to allow her to work from home part time and Vic will be starting school at the end of March (Hedgecock Racing Academy) And, as for Madison she is a bubbly 3 year old who always knows how to make you laugh.
