Reid and I were both raised in Bozeman, Montana and our parents still live there. We are very excited to be back in Montana so that we can be closer to our families that we love so much. Reid has 3 sisters and one brother who all have children. We will be living 90 miles from both of our parents and Reid's brother Jesse and his family.
When we all get together we love to stay up late playing games and watching movies. The Stovall family traditions include fishing trips to the Big Horn River and Turkey Hunting in Eastern Montana. At Christmas we always wait until we are all together to cut a Christmas Tree (even if it means waiting until Christmas Eve). We love to play volleyball and basketball together as well.
There are 2 children in my family. There is a 12 year age difference between me and my brother, Ken, so our family joke is that there are two "only children" in the family. Ken and I are very close and talk on the phone often. We are now living less than 4 hours from Ken and his family and are looking forward to being able to see them more.
My mom, "Nanna Aleta" as her other gradkids call her, is very outgoing and always ready to play games, go to lunch or see a movie in the theater. She is a very fun grandma and drives to visit her grandchildren as often as possible
My dad and I are best buddies and love to spend time riding horses together (no matter how cold it is outside).
Reid and I were both very fortunate to have HUGE extended families and are very close to our cousins, Aunts and Uncles. It is our hope that our children will be able to not only know their extended family members, but will be best friends with their cousins and will have the opportunity to share their lives with their eternal family as we have.
