How we got here today...

Well i was never a fan of blogs untill recently. After reading a close friends blog, I was inspired to start one and have some documentation of our lives. So I called my wonderful Bride and she informed me she tried to start one the day before but got frustrated setting it up.

Well let me start with I am Drew Danielo. I am 28 years old and met my best friend/ wife 7 years ago. I was 21 at the time and she was 17. The night that surfaced at her parents house was a scary night. We dated for 3 years and I asked her to marry me on a family vacation in Park City, Utah. I asked her Dad about a month before the trip. The drive from my house at the time in Ellenton to Venice seemed like it took 10 hours that morning. Joe afterwards told me he knew I was either asking him that or needed help with Financial stuff. He told me those are the 2 main reasons I guy would need to have a private talk with his girlfriends Dad. Luckfully for me I couldn't ask for a better set of In-Laws. Joe told me he had no problems with me asking Nicole and if I ever did anything to hurt her. Well you can figure out what he said. So after ring shopping with my best friend Reid, I was on a plane going to Salt Lake, City. I asked her to marry me on February 15th.(Valentine's Day would be to typical for me) Her first words to me were "DID YOU ASK MY DAD!" After she knew I did She said yes. So after she finished school We got Married On November 3,2007.



The wedding was what I thought would be the best day of my Life. We have had an amazing marriage that gets better everyday. We decided it was time to add to our wonderful family. So we began trying to have a baby. After a few months it seemed having a baby was harder than I thought. On May 31st I was running a skateboard contest at the local YMCA thru my shop. Nicole came over with some freinds and her family was there and it was a typical skate contest. Very fun and exciting but made for a long nite. I got back to the house around 9:30ish. We talked for a few minutes and then Nicole said I have something to show you. I said YOUR PREGNANT and she showed me the Pregnancy Test. It was Positive. This would know be the Happiest Day of my life.

I had so many thoughts and as excited as I was it hit me. I am going to be a Dad!!!!I was extremely Excited and at the same time a little nervous. We only told her parents and sister and my mom. Nicole wanted to make sure everything was ok before we spread the word. We all managed to keep it as quiet as we can. After the 1st doctors visit we were free to tell. So within about 10 minutes of us leaving I think all of Sarasota County knew what was going on!!!!

Fast Forward 25 weeks and here we are today so excited for our little Ty Joseph to arive. We chose Ty because it is not a super Popular name and has a little southerness to it. Joseph came from Nicole's Dad. He has obviously been a huge part of Nicole's life and since I met him 7 years ago he has made a huge positive impact on my life and been a serious mentor to me.

Nicole and I are very thankful for both our Families and thank god everyday for blessing us with the lives we have with Amzing Family and Friends. Thank You to all of you who have been around since the begining and all the GREAT FRIENDS we have made over the years. You know who you are. Nicole and I will both be posting on this Blog to share our stories and document our happiness together. Here are some pictures to get you upto date with the Baby.
