We had our first date on February 14, 2016.  As many of you know from our many, many facebook posts, we are truly happy and grateful to have found one another!  We have so much in common such as our love for family, foods (our mutual dislike of tomatoes was huge!), traveling, sports, and common goals such as staying fit for life!  I'm sure we will discover more in the upcoming years.

Together we have six daughters (Robert - 4 & Sophia - 2), three son-in-laws & two more coming soon in 2018!  We also have seven grand-children and we are sure there will be more to come!

We got engaged May 29, 2016 in Rome, Italy.  Robert proposed in front of the Trevi Fountain. 

Robert carried the ring in his shorts pocket during most of our trip; waiting for the perfect time! 

***Sophia actually had shown Robert "the" ring (which was at at a local jeweler in Rancho Cucamonga) during a trip to Target.  Later Robert went back purchased "the" ring.
