I say-- "why only dogs?"
Hailey--"cuz I'm allergic to cats, and people would bring me there cats, and i'd be like achoo all the time and that would be very distracting for me."

Vicki & Ryan

We got married in 1998. This means we’re officially an old married couple we just celebrated 10 years. Ryan went to ASU and got his degree in Aviation. He worked for sky harbor for a little while and then in May of 2006 he and a friend from school started an aviation business together, and they are loving it. I have been working in the dental field for 10 years now it started that I was just helping Ryan's dad in his office and it blossomed from there into a career. I managed my friend’s office for a year until we got busy enough to need another gal, so now I do the billing from home. Which works out well, I can still work and be home with the kids who are the light of my life.
