I fell in love with Marissa from the first time we met. Marissa’s bubbly, happy and adventurous personality won me over, I just wanted to keep spending more and more time with her.  As time went on, we spent a lot of time together and I got to know Marissa’s big heart and zest for life. She is the one who finds the sunshine no matter the rainstorm and refills the glass when you see it half empty.  She is caring, sensitive and devoted to everything she puts her mind to which is why she is an extraordinary mother.  Marissa is the rock of our family, who keeps us organized, seeks out new adventures for our family to embark on and cares for our every need no matter the challenge. Marissa is truly our happily ever after.

Not only does Marissa give herself 110% to her family but she still finds time for a career of devotion to help others.  Marissa began as an early childhood special education teacher where I watched her take joy and pride in all of her students’ success both large and small.  Marissa would work all hours of the night thinking of new ideas to teach new skills to her students.  Thereafter, Marissa became an assistant principal of the school in order to reach more and more students.  Recently, Marissa completed her doctorate degree in educational leadership while staying home to raise our daughter.  She aspires to teach at the college level where I know she will make even more of a difference in not only the lives of aspiring teachers but their students as well.  Marissa has the gift of touching people’s lives in a positive way- “her love goes on and on- Robin Hood.”

He is a great example of never-ending love to both me and his little girl.

Tico is our adorable 2-year-old Shih Tzu who brings joy and laughter to our family each day.  Tico is our daughter’s best friend- they spend countless hours playing tag in the yard, fetch and make believe games. Tico always continues playing no matter how tired he may be until she is ready to stop playing. Tico is the best cuddle friend to all and shares his unconditional love endlessly.
