Meet the Etheridges
My name is Yakini and my husband is Derek. I’m a clinical psychologist who loves pretty much all things girly… and blogging of course! Derek is a corporate lawyer and sports aficianado who loves to read and won’t leave home without his Kindle.
Since meeting in 2006 we’ve been inseparable! I am so happy, I can’t even begin to describe how I feel about this wonderful man. What I love most about Derek is the size of his heart. His family and friends mean the world to him, and that’s what I found most appealing about him when I first met him. Today I think about all the planning that God must have done to make sure that I was ready for him and likewise that he was ready for me. I believe with all my heart that God has designed a mate for everyone, and I’m so Blessed to have found mine!
We’re a fun and adventurous couple who love to travel, spend time with friends and family, and try new things. We’re an Attachment Parenting family when possible. I think what we look forward to most with our boys is learning things all over again with them. This is a chance for us to see the world again through their eyes, and it’s just amazing! Our goal is to raise happy, healthy, and well-rounded children. We’re excited about the many adventures Chase and Bryce are going to discover for themselves, and we’re so happy that we can mentor and guide them along those adventures.
