Family of the Month

We have been chosen as Primrose's Family of the Month this month - kinda cool huh? Here's the write up that is on the board at Eli's school. It is surrounded by some of our favorite pictures.

We are so excited to be the “Family of the Month” - let us share a little about ourselves.

Our family got its’ start in 2002 when Tim and Evia met while mountain biking at Umstead State Park with friends. Tim never had to officially ask Evia out on a date as most of their dates were bike rides after work and road trips to go ride in the mountains. Pre-children, but with our dog Belle, we enjoyed road biking, mountain biking and hiking in the mountains. In October 2004 on one of these adventure trips, Tim proposed to Evia at the top of Mount Mitchell and they were married the following June in Little Switzerland. The Nelson family was established and celebrated with an adventurous honeymoon in Moah, Utah.

On Christmas Day 2006, we found out that our family was expanding - such a great Christmas surprise! Eli joined us in August 2007 and our lives were forever changed. We then joined the Primrose family in December 2007 and have enjoyed watching Eli grow into a toddler, full of energy and learning a lot along the way - there’s never a dull moment in our house. Eli became a big brother on July 4th this year and Cole will also join the Primrose family this October.

While the boys are at Primrose, Tim is busy working as an Industrial Designer for BFS Industries designing boiler feed systems and Evia is a Senior Project Manager for BE&K Building Group specializing in University construction projects. On weekends, we love to do as much outdoors as possible - bike rides, hikes, neighborhood walks, hanging out with friends. We’re adapting to life with two boys and making all of these adventures family affairs. It makes life so much more fun!
