When I moved to Louisville, KY...8 years ago (yes, Mom, it has been EIGHT years!!), I knew two people. The first was my boyfriend (now wonderful husband) and the second was his roommate, Erich. To say that I "knew" Erich...is not really accurate. I knew Erich because I was his roommate's girlfriend, and he was privy to my frequent jaunts across the country to see his roommate. However, he was the first person we told that I was moving to Louisville after Sundance...and I still remember his reaction (hehehe!). Once I moved to Louisville, I also became Erich's roommate...to a certain extent (too much information? maybe.), as the hubs (then boyfriend) rarely spent time apart, aside from when we were at work. A few months after I had moved to Louisville, Erich and my boyfriend parted roommate ways.

Enter Cory! The evening the boys decided to clean their apartment, and get out of dodge, some how Erich managed to con his new girlfriend into coming over and helping with the cleaning cause. That was when I met Cory for the first time. Their relationship moved fast, and soon I got the call from them that they were engaged. The rest is history...a wonderful, romantic, amazing history.

A couple years later their paths crossed with an infant boy from Guatemala...whom they named Chase. If you know Erich and Cory...you know their story...you know Chase's story...and you know that there are not three people in the world more meant for each other than these three. I love this family. They are courageous in was you cannot imagine. They are generous in ways you wish everyone would be. They are awesome.

OK...Ill stop gushing...on with the peak :)

First Chase, because I really cannot get enough of him!

Family!

And my absolute favorite. GORGEOUS!:
