Mike and I first met on a blind date that his roommate and my cousin set us up on. When they came to pick us up, the very first thing that caught my attention was Mike’s amazing light blue eyes. Still I figured it was just a blind date, and I was going back to BYU-Idaho in just a few days. Nothing could possibly come from it. That night I laughed more that I had in years! Something about those eyes of his convinced me that this was someone who I wanted to get to know and spend more time with.
Things moved pretty fast after our first date. From that point on, every day and every week that we could be together we were! We got married May 30th 2008 :) In the Idaho falls temple. I finished my degree in Early Childhood Special Education at BYU-I, and then we moved to Pocatello so that Mike could finish his in Spanish. Along the way we had a beautiful healthy baby girl named Makenzie Joan Tucker. She was born on July 30th 2009.
Things are going to change fast for our little family; Mike has been accepted into a great Optometry school in southern California. So we will be moving down there sometime in July of this year. We are excited for our future!
