Tony's Bio
Ok so this is not Tony typing because he refuses to use a computer :)
After graduation Tony joined the Navy and visited many nice places but can't say that he loved the Navy.
He was stationed in Mobile, Alabama where he met Christy (wife) they were married 6 months later 1993 - and he legally adopted Kristen (Christy's daughter). We then came up to Iowa for Ann and Gary's wedding and the rest is history as they would say. Christy fell in love with Iowa and the farm although Tony thought she was crazy because of the cold and because she is not a FARM GIRL.
We had Madison Marie in August 1994 and moved to Iowa in December 94. After staying with Norm and Diane for a little while we settled in the big town of Breda, Iowa. We then had Ashlyn Denise Schettler in March 1996.
Tony built firetrucks for 5 years - but has been a self-employed welder for about 6 years. He stays very busy but loves his job - his job also allows Christy to work part-time at 2 local churches in Carroll doing accounting and also busy taking care of the girls. We enjoy coaching the girls softball team and Christy stays busy with her 18 Girl Scouts and Wednesday church program that she runs.
We love Iowa - but still go back to Alabama as much as possible to visit with family - as the south is still home :)
Tony, Christy & girls
PS - I love reading the memories of the farm - as my girls are now lucky to be building the same memories with the BEST Grandparents and In-laws in the world!

Thanks Christy for Tony's story! Are you from Alabama? I know we have talked, but I don't remember your accent. I worked with a woman from Tuscaloosa Alabama, and she had a thick accent. It was fun to hear her talk, and very hard to not imitate her! We would like to hear your story too, as you are part of the family!
The south is a beautiful area to live in. My family and I are living for the second time in East Tennessee, not far from the Smokey Mountains. Life is a bit slower in the south and you learn to do without certain items that were easy to find after living in Chicago. But living without the wicked winters in the north is the trade off.
