If you really want to know more, here ya go!
Ed and Erin met in a country western club December of 1994. By February of 1995, they professed their love for one another, and in May of 1995, they were married.
Life moved quick from then forward! They had their first child together in March of 1996. July of 1997 came along kid #3, and they moved from Colorado to Texas so they could be closer to Ed's first child, who was born in 1990.
Ed was always the breadwinner for the family, while Erin stayed home to manage the household and raise the kids. Soon after the Columbine shooting (the first school shooting), they decided to homeschool and then unschool their kids for the entirety of their school years. It was a busy, busy time!
In 2006 their first grandchild was born, and another one in 2010.
Through the years, Ed has been a very diligent worker, and has always provided for his family. Erin was the one at home, running things from that angle. Both of them have always respected and appreciated each other's roles in the family and neither of them would have had it any other way.
As you can imagine, with only one person bringing in an income, money was always tight. It was hard enough to save money for an emergency, let alone invest money for their retirement. As the years progressed though, finances eased up a little and they were able to start thinking that they might be able to invest and they started to see a small, small light of hope at the end of the tunnel.
Within a few years from that bit of hope they both shared, they became millionaires.
Just kidding. ;)
They are working on that goal though, and learning all the in's and out's along the way. They didn't know it, but each of them had started looking into how wealthy people manage their money, and the fact that wealthy people see and use money differently from the rest of the population. Oddly enough, they both started their research about the same time and had gathered about the same information.
While money has been a point of issue throughout their marriage, love has not been. Their love for one another has always been strong and growing. Of course, they have had their problems, but they have always strived to come out the other side better than before.
It is that persistence to continue growing together and to continue choosing each other that has made them the couple they are today. They fully acknowledge they are not perfect, and that everyone's marriage or partnership is theirs and theirs alone. Ed and Erin have realized, however, there are things that any relationship can do that will bring them closer and grow their love. It is those things that they have built as the foundation of not only their marriage, but their online platform as well.
