After almost 10 years, Staci and I have finally decided to tie the knot.

Over the years we've been together, we have gone thru ups and downs, we added two children to the one she brought with her when we first got together, who I've helped raise since he was 3. Shawn is now closing in on 13, Alex is turning 6, and Lando is 8.

Over the years we've collected stuff necessary to run a household, so rather than setting up a gift registry, we would like to set up a place for people to donate, anonymously or not, if they'd like to provide any kind of gift/support.

For the last couple of years we've been working on credit repair and rebuilding. We are now on the cusp of both having fair credit scores. Our goal for next year is to be in a house that we own. For that, we're going to need all we can to add to what we will have after taxes for a down payment, and hopefully a little extra that Staci and I can have a weekend away.

We appreciate each and every one of our friends and family, and look forward to you celebrating this milestone in our lives with us.
