Before it began~~February 1987

Adam and I met in February of 1987 in Denton, TX.  We were both working at Wendy's while he attended NTSU and I attended TWU.  Our first date was at IHOP (okay, so it's not great, but it was 2am...what do you expect?).  We dated for 4 years and got married in San Antonio on May 11, 1991.

ADAM & MARIA PETERSON

In October of 1991, Adam and I found out we would not only be parents in July, but we would be giving our parents their very first grandchild~~on both sides!!  I am 7 months pregnant in this picture.

 23 months after Kristin Michele was born, Rebekah JaeAnne was born, and 18 months later, we finally had a boy!  Michael Andrew was born on New Years Day (six weeks premature).. and he's been in a hurry ever since.  Last but not least, our precious angel, Maeghan Elise was born on December 20, 1999.  Please take time to check our everyone's page...you'll be so glad you did!!
