Josh and I met at a wedding reception in September of 2004. Josh proposed on Christmas day just shy of 4 months later. We were sealed in the Portland OR Temple on June 30, 2005. In October of 2005, I found out I was pregnant. In March of 2006 we discovered that our baby boy had a serious heart-defect. Benjamin Joshua McGee was born on June 11, 2006 at 5:32 in the morning. Because of his heart-condition, he had to stay in the NICU at the University of Utah hospital for a couple weeks. When Ben finally got to leave the hospital, we moved to Logan UT. Benjamin had open-heart surgery in December of 2006. In May of 2007, we bought our first home; a town home in Logan. Benjamin celebrated his first birthday a month later. In August, I returned to school and Ben was enrolled in Daycare at All About Kids. Josh graduated from USU the following spring. In November of 2008, Josh began working for Cover Pools in Salt Lake City, UT. We moved to West Jordan for about 9-months but then ended up back in Brigham City in 2009 so I could drive to Logan for school while Josh commuted daily to Salt Lake. On July 12, 2010, we welcomed our second child; Brianna Ruth McGee. I finally graduated in 2011 just before Ben's 5th birthday. We purchased our second home in West Valley, UT just before Brianna's 1st birthday in July of 2011. Ben started kindergarten in August and learned to read and ride a bike. Brianna started walking just before Christmas in 2011 and started going to nursery in January of 2012. In 2012, Catie learned they she was pregnant once again. Ben began 1st grade in August of 2012. Nathaniel Randolph McGee was still-born on September 6th of 2012. In December, we enjoyed our first road-trip with both kids. We traveled to California to visit some extended family and had a great time.
