Meet Tommie ...
I actually find him starting off our post very appropriate because today is his birthday!!! 10-12-12. Happy Birthday Tommie.
Tommie is the son of Tom and Tina Koukoulis
He is the oldest twin, his sister being Andonia
He has a half older sister Annie - which from her he has 2 nephews (Christo & Julienne) and a niece (Ava)
He has a step brother Alex from his Dad's current marriage
He co-owns a very well to do restaurant in Severna Park - Cafe Mezzanotte
He is a hard worker, always going-going-going, he always has a smile on his face and a welcoming hug to greet any and everyone with, he is full of love and compassion for everyone - especially his family and he is a wonderful man to our family.
Meet Pohai ...
Pohai is the daughter of Raul and Sani Braun
She is the oldest of 4 - Fuzzy, Isabel and Manoa
She works at her dad's insurance office - State Farm
She is a hard worker, can go and go but not quite as much as Tommie can, very protective of her loved ones and anyone that is close to her, has 20 million great craft ideas but has a hard time finishing them,
So here is the story (brief) of how these 2 met.
High school classmates of Fallston High School 2002. You actually would have never put us together in school too. He was the A student in all the AP and Honor classes HOWEVER he was also the one who would lite off fireworks or stink bombs in the stairwells, come late to school and throw the best parties on the weekend EVER. She was the average student who was friends with everyone and worked every day and every weekend because she had just discovered that "if I work hard I am rewarded". We met at a mutual friends house where she was actually crushing on Tommie. But Tommie wasn't feeling it and started to make moves on Pohai. Fast foward a few months and now we're dating ... fast foward a year and we broke up cause we had different goals ... fast foward a few months and we're back together and our love for each other still going strong ... fast foward a few months to almost a few years differences crept back up again, Pohai in Hawaii - Tommie in Maryland and we find out we're pregnant ...come April 2006 Kekoa entered this world and our hearts ... fast forward and a whirl wind of this and that, add a dash of drama for your mama, and a sprinkle of craziness covered in we're still in love with each other and Tommie proposed to Pohai in Costa Rica in March of 2012. We woke up early for a sun rise walk on the beach, breakfast on the beach, just really he and I as we watched the world come to life. And as we were gazing on the ocean view Tommie got down on one knee and presented me with a ring and as me to marry him. Naturally I said yes. Fast forward 6 months and on Sept 8, 2012 we said I DO and became the Koukoulis Ohana.
Meet Kekoa ..
came to us on April 8, 2006
born in Kailua Hawaii
he has been a joy and blessing in our lives from the moment he entered our hearts.
he is an active boy (just like his father) and is always so full of love followed by hugs and kisses
he loves his mom and dad and is DYING for a little sibling
So there you have it ... all of us all typed up. Enjoy this blog as we journey forward together as an Ohana!
