Keeping the family going. :P

YEAR 1
Lakeville, Minnesota
DH(27): Eliott Tennyson Abascal [Keo-Van Daele] Priestley - straight; straight brown hair, brown eyes - parks department employee
DW(24): Andrea "Andie" Rianne Priestley - straight; wavy blonde hair, blue eyes - dog groomer
When Eliott first moved to Lakeville, having grown up in Texas, he had some trouble getting used to things, especially the much colder temperatures in winter. His next door neighbor, a young woman named Andie Priestley, invited him over to her apartment to have dinner with her and her roommate and gave him some tips. Eliott couldn't stop thinking about Andie when he returned home that night, promptly asking her out in the following days. About a year and a half later, when they got married, Eliott chose to take Andie's last name, Priestley, as he felt his own, Keo-Van Daele, was clunkier and resulted in more questions than he preferred to answer on a daily basis.
In their first few months of marriage, Andie introduced Eliott to painting, just as a fun little thing they could do together in their free time to relax. Eliott was a natural, finding new ways to combine color and shapes that Andie hadn't even begun to think of. They hung up several of his pieces in the rooms around their apartment, giving away several others.
