Writes Stacy:

Charley and I grew up together, attending the same middle school and high school. We never dated in high school but had a lot of mutual friends. We started to run into each other when we were home from college during winter and summer break. We didn't start dating, though, until I was living and working in New York City and he was playing the Nationwide Tour. I eventually moved back to San Diego but I didn't move to Las Vegas until we got engaged -- which was the first time since we started dating that we actually lived in the same city. We dated for a long time before getting married in the fall of 2008. Our first child was born last year.

Growing up, he played soccer, baseball and golf.  He looks forward to skiing at least once a season.  He likes doing puzzles.  He is an exceptionally good Scrabble player considering he's not great at spelling.  He irons really well.  He makes a mean breakfast. Egg creations are his speciality, whether it be egg sandwiches or scrambles. We also like to make his Grandpa Charley's pancakes. I make the batter and he mans the griddle -- and we always make a few chocolate chip ones.  He really wants a cat.  After our wedding ceremony, he changed out of his original tuxedo and wore a powder blue tuxedo for the reception. His groomsmen wore orange ones -- think Dumb and Dumber.  He hates mayonnaise.  He loves going to sporting events: San Diego Chargers, San Diego Padres and UNLV Runnin' Rebel basketball games, to name a few. But his favorite sporting event is the National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas -- we talk every year about how we need to get some boots and cowboy hats.  He won our kitchen table in a golf bet.  He loves to play video games. His current favorite is Mario Kart, which he plays on-line against several other TOUR pros.  In 2009, he saw U2 shows in Dublin, Amsterdam, Chicago, Phoenix and Las Vegas!  His favorite pizza is pepperoni from Roundtable.  He has this bump on the side of is calf that he calls his "power pod."  He LOVES mini vans.  He says things simply for the reaction.  He is already an amazing dad.
