I have been married to my husband, Will Athey, for almost 2 weeks now. I have known Will for 5 years. I first fell in love with him when I saw how determined he is to be a photographer and to make photography a career people will respect. He is teaching me everything he knows about it and I find it so interesting! My parents were not overly happy about me marrying a man with out a "real" job, but I love him and I know he is going to make a wonderful husband and father (someday! Ü).
A few weeks before our wedding, Will came to me and said that he has not been able to find good work near our home in St. Louis, Missouri. He feels very strongly about supporting his family, so we have decided to move west to Oregon and hope that business will be better there!
I am very excited about moving west with my husband! I think this will be a wonderful time in our marriage!
