ABOUT US

Daniel and Mallory lived across the street from each other during Mallory's sophomore year and Daniel's junior year of college. On a variety of occasions we passed by each other but it was not until we were put in the same FHE group that our apartments really became friends. Around my 20th birthday I started to really notice this blonde boy named Daniel. He started to notice me as well. After a night of flirting I knew I wanted to date that boy. I guess he was on the same page. We went on our first date on March 8th, 2011 and were officially boyfriend/girlfriend on March 19th.
I left for a summer internship in Seattle at the end of April and we enjoyed getting to know each other even better during our 3 and a half months apart. By November I knew I wanted him to be the man in my life for the rest of my life and we were engaged at the top of the Zion Bank tower in downtown Salt Lake City overlooking the Christmas lights on Temple Square on December 9th, 2011.
Then for the best day of all April 28th, 2012. We were married on a beautiful spring morning in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was simply happy and joyful. The love we felt for each other was so strong and the love we felt from family and friends was also overwhelming. It was the perfect start of our new life together.
Our first year of marriage was spent finishing up our Bachelors Degrees at Brigham Young University. In April of 2013 we walked across the stage together and celebrated a huge accomplishment in our lives. That summer we took a long road trip through 18 states visiting family and friends. Our destination was our new home for 2 years in Pittsburgh, PA where Daniel would be completing his Masters Degree at CMU. In January of 2014 we were excited to find out that we would be welcoming a baby into our lives. Kennedy Joanne Barrick made her grand entrance in September of that year. She brought a lot of love, joy, and sleepless nights with her. In May of 2015 Daniel graduated from Carnegie Mellon and accepted a job in the Baltimore area.
So we packed up and moved to Maryland!
After two fun years in Maryland we began to feel like we needed to be closer to our family. In August 2017 Daniel got a new job offer in Idaho and just like that we packed up our lives and drove across the country to make Idaho our new home.
