Meet Macy

<> somebody loves daddy<>


<> A.D. surpised me after night class in Aug of 06 with an adorable little puppy. We have grown so attached to her over the past year & 1/2. Macy is a puggle, half beagle/half pug. At times she is full of energy, but for the most part she just loves to snuggle up and take naps all day long. Soon she'll have a nice fence to run around in!

Home is where your story begins...







<> In June of 2007 we moved into our first home. It's a one story 3 bedroom/2 bath ranch. We began the building process back in January and a few short months later we had our house! For first time home buyers it was surpisingly quite a simple process. We had so much fun picking out all of our colors and interior details. Here are a few pictures of what we have done to make our first house a home.

Meet the Mecks


<>My dad owns a contracting business in my hometown of Archbold, OH. If your ever interested in a beautfiul pond, Don Meck would be the one to call.
<>My mom Jane, is a registered nurse for a home health agency in Wauseon, OH. She is pretty much super mom, always cooking up something delicious, and most of all my best friend.
<> Jenae is the oldest of the family and she is the head of the marketing at the Union Bank Co. in Ottawa, OH. She most definitly has to be related to Martha Stewart because she can make some pretty mean cakes.
<>Braydon is currently a computer technology student at Columbus State in OH. He is well known for passing out big time at our wedding and fixing up cars.
<> Mya is my new adopted sister, she has the sweetest laugh, and the biggest addiction to my husband A.D.
<>Blayn is my new adopted brother (a born sibling to Mya). Blayne is for sure a momma's boy, but he also loves to cuddle up to anyone that will voluntarily rock him to sleep.

this is us...


What better way to keep memories than to write them down...so here we go.
Adrian James Mendoza and I met our freshman year of college at Indiana Wesleyan University. Pretty much since then things have been nothing short of amazing. We were married July 22, 2006 in my hometown of Archbold, Ohio. After graduating from nursing school from IWU, A.D. and I moved back to the big city of Indianapolis (his hometown). A.D is a special education teacher at Westfield High School, and I am a nurse at St.Vincent, Indianapolis.
We do have one little sweet dog, a puggle named Macy. Just us three in our house for now :) Pictures to come soon...
