A Friendly Welcome, A Little About Us

Dear Friends and Family!!!
I am a member of 2 different blogs and have been fighting with myself on if I should start my own blog or not. I was thinking, oh I have a boring family nothing ever goes on. Well the better part of me won, so WELCOME to the Cook Family blog. Now is a great time to introduce us. I am sure everyone who is visiting our site already knows enough about us, so just bear with me!!! HEHE!



Will:
Will is 29 born in Atlanta. His father was in the US Navy and the Navy moved his family when Will was about 1 1/2 or so to Seattle where his family now all resides. Will is the oldest of 3 children, there is Noelle and Sean who are his siblings. Will has been an on-again, off-again student at Edmonds Community College. He is currently attending to be a Buisness Manager.
Will is a 1 of a kind guy! LOL... Ok so he has a huge heart and family is always #1 in his life. He is always learning and maturing. He is going to school and holding down 2 jobs so I can eventually be able to work weekday nights and no more weekends. If someone in his family needs help Will is pretty much always there to lend a helping hand. He can drive me crazy, but I love him!

Brooke:
I am the main person thats going to be doing all the talking here. I am 24 and born in Omaha Nebraska. My father was in the US AirForce and was stationed there. I am the 2nd oldest of 4 children, I have a brother Ben who is older and 2 younger siblings- KayLynn and Tyler. When I was about a year old my family moved to the Salt Lake City area to be closer to family and when I was 10 my parents moved us to Elko, Nevada. I grew up in Elko and concider that my hometown. I moved to Seattle in 2004 when I was 20 and have been here ever since. Like Will I am very much family driven. I would do anything to help out family, or a friend. I have very stern family and core values. I am currently working 30 hours a week at a retirement community in Bothell, where I have been for 3 1/2 years. I am hoping that one day I will be able to stay home full time. I am fortunate enough to be home with Ariana in the day which is always fun although I really wish I was working in the day, it works for me either way. I love to travel, and I have big plans for our family for the future!

Ariana:
She is our baby. She just turned a year. She is a very determained little girl that definatly has a mind of her own. She is always learning new things and experementing with new things to do. She loves jumping around and is very very active. She has grandma (Brookes mom) red hair, Wills blue eyes and chunky cheeks. Shes a very petite little girl, and no matter how much she eays shes just going to be tiny. For her 1 year check up she weighed in at 16 lbs 7 oz, and 27 in long. Whats really nice about having her be so tiny is she gets more wear and tear on her clothes. She is still wearing size 6 month clothes.

How we met:
We met on http://www.ldschat.com/. Since I have met Will I have yet to be on that chatsite, I dont know if it still exists. I got my tax return before Will got his and the deal was whoever got thiers first was to make the first visit. So you guessed it, I got mine first and I came to Seattle. At the time I was living in Utah and knew Seattle was where I wanted to be. I love the greenery, and the water, the archeticture on the downtown skyscrapers. And at the time I loved rain (its ok now). We soon got engaged and married on December 17, 2004. We have been driving each other crazy ever since... LOL!!!
