About

Ashley and Robyn are moms to kiddo Charlie, born September 2017.

They first met (in person) in Saint Augustine, FL in 2009, where they played a very awkward game of scrabble and showed their true introverted colors. Talking on the phone had been much easier! They met a few weeks later for an official date and started spending many nights talking into the early hours of the morning at Robyn’s apartment on the beach.

After eight months of some serious courtship, Ashley moved in and got a taste of beach living. Then, over the next three years they moved to three different cities, finally landing in Ocala, FL in 2012 – close to both of their families.

After the State of Florida announced the recognition of same-sex marriage in January 2015, Ashley and Robyn started truly planning the wedding they had been dreaming up for years. Then in June of that same year, same sex marriage become nationally recognized! On August 13, 2015, Robyn and Ashley tied the knot in a small family ceremony in Saint Augustine, FL, where it all started.

All while planning the wedding, the two of them had been researching and planning to conceive. January 6, 2016, after their second attempt to conceive, they found out Robyn was pregnant.

This blog is a space dedicated to The CuPow Family life, adventures, and likely some serious musings via Ashley. (Robyn hates writing!)
