 "Finally Landed"

Laura Jeff and I were married on April 28, 2007 in Tysons Corner, Virginia. We were truly blessed to have our family and friends join us on our special day. We want to thank all who helped Jeff and I make this a memorable time.

Please view our Wedding Photos on the site.

Two weeks after our wedding, we traveled to St. Lucia for our honeymoon. We had an amazing time at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian Spa and Resort; it is known to be the best in that area. We were surrounded by the sea and views of the mountains. We enjoyed the tours and excursions and relaxing in the sunset pool and whirlpool.

In October, I started working for a company that helps academic medical centers improve in clinical, operational and patient safety performances. I work in Clinical Data and Informatics department. The position is very challenging, but I know it will be rewarding.

I enjoy being in this area, but waiting for the snow to stop and the warm weather to come.

 Laura's Headliner

Laura Laura writes "Welcome to our new website. As you probably have noticed, when you go to laura.sealz.com it will take you to Jeff’s website. Jeff and I are transitioning our websites into one. While viewing our website, continue to browse through our gallery and read our postings; you don’t want to miss any updated information.

Well, our wedding date is set for April 28, 2007 and the planning has begun. It has been and is a true blessing to be with Jeff. It still amazes me how our relationship began and how it continued to blossom into something so very special.

After the wedding, I will be moving to Illinois (all winter gear will be packed). I will definitely miss my family, but I am excited and ready to start a new chapter of my life with Jeff.

Stay tuned…"
