About

Danny was a "fox" as my mom calls him to this day. A friend of her 5 brothers. A mormon.
...Then there was Julie Castner. (yes as in "Coach Castner"). An athlete. "goofy and gullible" as my dad describes her. Highschool sweethearts 5 years later. . .They were married in the Chicago temple.

Then I came along. My mom said that they took me away when I born because I was so tiny. (5 lbs.) She said that when they finally brought me back to her she thought I wasn't hers. She said I looked like a baby bird. haha. I do miss those days. Life was very simple. My father worked and went to school full time. My cosmetologist mommy helped put him through school. She says those were some rough days. Very little $. But sometimes I know when she looks at us, she wishes we could go back to those days. An empty home. Barely any furniture. But smiles for a month long from her kids just to be able to go to the dollar store and pick out 1 thing. I love my family. Although my father NOW could pay for all the things we "need" or even "want" he taught us to work. He taught us to save and keep track of our money. I know that he loves us enough to Teach us how to live. (and not just live off of him)


I grew up. . . a always took lead (ask my sister...I was kinda bossy). I grew a love for people at a young age. We had to move around growing up...which was always one of the hardest things to go through. I will never forget walking through the cafeteria with my lunch tray having no where to sit. I always look for lonely people now...because that is NOT a good feeling. My happiness became singing, the Pittsburg Steelers, soccer, and art.


In 2008, I met jamie. He made me realize that I cannot go through life alone. He curved my in-dependency and I learned to rely on him to level me out. We are oil & water :) He is the most genuine kind person you will ever meet. He loves to fish and hunt and participate in any type of activity that involves animals. Jamie was baptized in September, 6 months after we met. We served missions a year later. He went to Jacksonville, Florida and I went to Concepcion, Chile. We were reunited at the end of 201l. Engaged Feb 12' (click here for a video my friends filmed while hiding in the bushes) and were married Aug 11 2012.
