The Ballad of Luke & Mary


Luke and Mary met at Luke's best friend's wedding in 2004 and have been close friends ever since. They kept in contact and grew incredibly close throughout the years.

In 2009, when Luke and the girls went back to Michigan, Luke and Mary hit it off so well in person that they decided to throw caution into the wind, with Mary and Devin moving out to California to join Luke and the girls as family.

In November of the same year, after Mary had been at every Cheering Station during Luke's quest to walk 120 miles for Breast Cancer over a two-week span, Luke got down on one knee at the last Cheering Station and proposed to Mary in front of all the on-lookers. Mary said "yes" (obviously!) and they were married in April 2010, back in their home state of Michigan. In July of the same year, Luke adopted Devin as his own son.

In May, following their wedding, the happy couple found out the great news that they were expecting another addition to the family. On January 22nd, 2011, they welcomed Logan, completing the Himebaugh Family.

Luke is in the Navy and is currently stationed on the USS Green Bay (LPD 20) and is in the middle of completing three deployments in under three years.
