There's nothing like a good snuggle!

The Beginning...

We have known each other since June of 2000. After meeting in Tallahassee at a business conference, we became friends. Dominick invited Diana to his parent's church (Faith and Power Worship Center) and from there, the friendship grew into a relationship that turned into an engagement; which finally became a marriage on July 20, 2002. God has truly blessed us with an infinite love for one another.

During the summer of 2006, the talk of starting a family was becoming normal conversation. By that time, Diana was entering her 3rd year of teaching at Sabal Point Elementary as a 2nd grade teacher, and Dominick had completed his MBA and was approaching his 5th year as a contracts manager/negotiator with Lockheed Martin. In having purchased their family home, children were inevitable. On January 19, 2007, we found out that we were expecting! On January 29, 2007, our doctor confirmed that we were 6 weeks and 6 days pregnant and gave us our due date of September 18, 2007. The journey of parenthood had begun!

And Then There Were Three...

We were so excited to find out that we had become parents! This picture was taken on January 19, 2007 at 5:00 AM. We both wanted to see the results together before heading off to work.

The Announcement!

Announcing to our families that we were going to become parents was a very special moment. On Monday, January 29, 2007 we all went out to eat at Garibaldi's. Dominick's dad was sharing how blessed he and mom were to be parents to wonderful sons and now daughter-in-loves. At that moment, Dominick shared how blessed he was to have such wonderful parents, and how he was blessed that they were going to be wonderful grandparents as well. After about 2 seconds of trying to catch what he said, the whole family jumped with excitement and ran circles around the table! This was followed by many hugs and high-5's. This is Dominick's parent's first grandchild, and they are ecstatic to embark on their new journey as grandparents!
