Halloween 2008

We are the Borchers, Stephen, Beverly and Avery. This is a blogspot dedicated to updating our life with family and friends. I decided to start this blog so that we can update and keep a journal, more or less, of our life as a family.

Most of you already know the history, for those who don't I will briefly update our past 7 years. In August 2001 Stephen and I met working at a local hospital here in Louisiana. I graduated Nursing school in Dec. 2001, and became an ER Nurse (RN). We got engaged in Gatlinburg, Tn in May 2002 when Stephen graduated from LSU with his Bachelor's Degree in Microbiology. We took a year to plan our wedding while stephen applied to Optometry school. In May 2003 we got married, that following August of 2003 we moved up to Memphis, TN for Stephen to start his first year of Optometry school. We lived in Memphis while he attended 4 years of schooling, we met some of the best friends while living up there. I moved my career in the direction of Pediatric Nursing, working in the Intensive care unit, the BEST career choice I have made by far. I love working with children. Stephen had the opportunity to move back to Louisiana for his last semester of school, for externship. November 2006, we moved back home and found out I was pregnant. In May 2007, Stephen graduated as an Optometrist, and took a local job here in La as the staff Optometrist. He works for Ochsner and loves his job. On July 31, 2007 we welcomed our first child, a little girl, Avery Madison Borchers into our life and here we are 15 months later.

Today, Avery made 15 months old and it is halloween. I have decided to start this blog to share the adventures of our daily lives for those who are interested. I also figure it is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends that we don't get to talk with often due to the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
So, enjoy our blog, I will try to update weekly.
Love~ Stephen, Beverly and Avery
