Both Mario and Kelli signed up on a dating website. After dating lots of.....well let's just say.....Mr/Mrs Wrongs, They found each other. Their first date was at Garcias, a local restaurant. They were both so nervous yet as soon as they met it felt like seeing an old friend. They talked about everything and laughed about so many things. Their spirits connected so easily. The second date was an adventure. They went to a restaurant where the food (chicken) was brought to the table and they were required to cook it on the table. They burned the chicken to a crisp and laughed about it. That's when they knew they were just alike. :) After several more dates and introductions to their kids Mario proposed to Kelli one day while the family was napping. She woke up to find the ring in her hand. He said some very sweet words and asked if she would be his wife and lifelong partner. Of course she said "yes." |
Together, Mario and Kelli have three AMAZING children. The oldest is Lilly (12). She laughs about everything and has a bubbly, fun-to-be-with personality. She is obsessed right now with the group 1 Direction. Liam is her favorite. She listens to her IPod every night and enjoys singing and dancing. The middle child is Matthew (11). He is incredibly smart. When you spend time with him, he will tell you things that you never knew. He's a blast to hang out with. Right now, he is obsessed with computer games, mostly Minecraft. From what I can tell, he's pretty awesome at it too. The youngest child is Bella. Just like her name sounds, she is the sweetest little girly-girl you could ever meet. She loves the color pink and beautiful dresses. At the moment she enjoys playing store and pretending to be a veterinarian. She takes excellent care of her stuffed bears. I have never seen any so healthy. Not only are these three kids exceptional in their own way but they get along great and enjoy each other's company. In every way, they are just beautiful. :) |
