Love Journey of Selim & Koral






It was LOVE at first sight.



We met at the pool, went cycling on our first date, finished our divorces, then got married...the rest is history! =)


OK, well maybe not. We also added two baby boys to my four children from a previous marriage, endured unusual and unnecessary torture from our exes (don't get me started) and tried to figure out how in the world you live with your soulmate when we both had come to the conclusion he/she couldn't possibly exist. We are glad for the trials we've faced not only because we are stronger individuals, but we are also more closely bonded together as a result of them.

Can anyone out there relate?

We are now a union of different races, sizes, colors, and personalities and we like it that way! All that really matters is that we follow the example of our saviour, Jesus Christ, and love each other. (And don't shoot anyone...or worship golden cows... or steal our neighbor's classic GT40...Selim!)

We are the united
COLORS of BENETTON!!

I love reminiscing about my school days...all of them in fact. These are just a few photos from back then--consider them a blast from the past!

...but not a wink of sleep!" I just adore my little ones, but boy would I love a good night's sleep. Midnight feedings, immunization-induced fussiness, too-short naps, particular toddler insanities...they all add up to sleep-deprived and delirious parents!

These pictures explain precisely why we haven't eaten our young.........................yet.
