Where our journey started : July 24, 2004

July 24, 2004 Justin Saltarski married Staci Wood we became our own little family just the two of us, working at our jobs, living in our tiny little one bedroom apartment, life was wonderful!  5 months later we decided to buy our own Home, how exciting it was to have a place of our own to decorate the way we want to and build memories and dreams inside those walls. 

we also have two pets one that came with us from the apartment a cute little kitty named PJ

 and then we got ourselves a puppy and named him Benny

and now to catch you all up we have been married for 7 years and we still have our precious pets and each other. Now our focus in life turned to making a family, oh boy were we not ready for what God had planned for us. We just thought it would just happen and then we had many events happen but not us getting pregnant, my husband got diagnosed with testicular cancer! Praise the Lord it was contained in the testicle and was caught early enough that all they had to do was remove it, yes it was rough and very scary, but our love for each other and for God grew that day! Our family and Church family was always there for us know matter what happened!  Then our journey took another turn for the worse my Father - in -law was diagnosed with lymphoma stage 4 he fought the battle and went to be in Heaven with the Lord , we love and miss him dearly not a day goes by that we don't think about him! and at the same time all that was going on my dad fell out of his tree stand and crushed both of his ankles and Praise the Lord he had surgery and can walk and works and is a very strong man! not a day goes by that through all the ups and downs of life that were thrown at us our love for each other has grown so much. Oh yes happy things have also happened through the seven years: my brother got married and bought a house of their own in the same subdivision that we live in, how cool to be able to ride a bike or walk to their house! also Justin's sister got married in bloomington what a fun weekend that was!
