During Blaine’s college years at Baylor, he introduced his best friend to his cousin, Miriam. They started dating, eventually became engaged and moved to Abilene. Around the same time, I had just graduated college and also moved to Abilene to take my first nursing position. Miriam and I were both nurses on the oncology floor at a local hospital there and became great friends. Blaine was asked to be a groomsman and me a bridesmaid. And of course we were matched up to walk down the aisle together. The rest is history!!!!
We married in 2012 and moved to Euless where we adopted our puppy, Roxanne. We eventually bought our first house in Keller where we raised our two children, Chloe (7) and Brooks (4). I am still in nursing, going on for 13 years with Cook Children’s Health Care System and Blaine recently accepted a new position with Shellpoint Mortgage and has been in the industry for 12 years.
When Chloe was born in 2017, we chose a daycare that was near my job, but then COVID changed everything. Blaine and I both began working from home in 2020 and decided to keep the kids home with us. But in 2022, I was called back to the hospital. We had read great reviews about Premier Prep and it was only a mile away from home. It was an obvious choice!
We loved that the curriculum included Bible teachings, and the staff was so friendly from the moment we entered the building. Chloe began attending at age 3 and Brooks at 1 and we have never looked back! Chloe is now in 1st grade and begs to come back for school breaks! We saw all the obvious signs of active learning from the moment they started attending – counting by 5’s, saying the Pledge of Allegiance, quoting the days of the week and eventually learning to read. We love it here and could never imagine having our kids anywhere else.
