Welcome to the Scharrer family's real life story! Most of our story is written for, and about, our four kids and the spice they add to our lives. It's our story of happiness, craziness, and sometimes ridiculousness. We've journaled through childbirth, the terrible two's, private school (and our public school experience), an autism diagnosis, medical school, residency, and long-term mission work in Africa.

Now we're following a new adventure, which involves a 45 foot motorcoach, homeschool, and as many ski slopes as we can go down in one year.

Four Years of Marriage


HAPPY FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY, ERIK!!!

We've known each other for 25 years, been in love for six, and been life-long partners for four.
It has been the perfect base to rest a marriage on and I wouldn't be happier married to anyone else.

Over the last four years... we both graduated from college, we've moved five times, lived in two states, gone through 10 jobs, gone through four cars, we got a fish, a cat, and a dog, we had a baby, made it through a year of medical school, we've traveled around the US and to several other countries, we've experienced the birth of new family members and the death of others, we've had surgeries and injuries that we'll never forget, trips to the emergency room and hospital stays, we've been a part of four great church families, have made lots of new friends, and for being direct opposites we've found a lot to do... we've been hiking up waterfalls, canoeing down rivers, repelling, snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, boating, water skiing, tubing, rafting, laid on the beach, bowling, downhill skiing, ski racing, camping, visited state parks, hiked in caves, to Minnesota Twins games, Vikings games, and Timberwolves games, to zoos, snowmobiling, walked across the headwaters of the Mississippi, on a cruise, to church camp, youth ministers, to youth rallies, deer hunting, ice skating, on a 200 mile bike tour, to the Grandma's Marathon, to the Mall of America, a part of a Murder Mystery Dinner, to the Glensheen Mansion, on roller coasters, and most importantly we've learned more about each other and more about God's plan for our lives. He has taken us down some pretty crazy roads, but it seems that we have always come out smiling.


Thanks to everyone who has been apart of our life story!!
We can't wait to see what the next four years have in store for us.

    Glad you're still happy, though. You make a fantastic couple/family!!
