Our Story So Far...

Ben and Brittney met their junior year of high school, and after nearly a year of yearning on her part, Brittney somehow finally convinced Ben to be her beau.

After dating through senior year and the summer that followed, both shared a very tearful goodbye as Ben left to serve a mission in Fukuoka, Japan.

Just a little over two years later, Ben returned (much to Brittney's jubilation)! After nearly two whole months of dating, Ben proposed and Brittney said "YES!"

They married on a beautiful February day and enjoyed a blissful first year together. Just before their first anniversary, Brittney discovered she was expecting and soon the happy couple would become a cozy family of three.

After many months of morning sickness and waddling, Brittney and Ben were more than ready to welcome their little one. On October 3rd, a week and a day after her due date, Alivia finally made her big debut and wowed all with her incredible cuteness!

Alivia just turned one year old, and the Patridge family is happily anticipating the next chapters in their lives together.
