Earl and I are 'high school sweethearts'. He went on his mission to Ecuador while I went to New York as a nanny. Four months after Earl got home, he proposed to me (after his grandma said I "look like a Carlson" and "you need to marry her!") Her name was Leona. We were married May 6, 2006. We now have four children: Garrett, who is 8; Leona, who is 6; Lathen is 3; and Kirk is 2.
