"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord. Plans to Prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 

We met in high school when we were just 14 & 15 years old. We dated for 8 years and then got married in front of our friends and family at a big Christmas wedding in our hometown. We have been married 8 years and have been through every stage of life together. Shortly after we got married we decided we wanted to grow our family. After countless doctor's visits we heard the words no one wants to hear- unexplained infertility. It was difficult to understand why we would never be able to have children of our own, but we believe everything happens for a reason. We truly believe we were meant to adopt and we can't wait to finally grow our family this way.  God has always had bigger plans for us, we just have to trust in his plan. Adoption is a beautiful gift that will change our lives forever. 

"God often uses our deepest pain as the launching pad of our greatest calling."

We do everything together and we couldn't imagine life without each other! Most of our time is spent attending or helping at school and community events. We enjoy living a busy life and we do many things together with the people that mean the most to us. We love spending time with them most of all. 

Things we enjoy doing together: 

Coffee dates, golfing, vacationing, spending time outside, watching sports, listening to music, & spending holidays with friends & family

Things we can't wait to do as a family: 

Go out to eat, spend our summers swimming in our backyard, spend snow days at home together, sit around a fire and have s'mores, spend the week at our county fair, visit our local zoo, drive around and look at Christmas lights, go to church & Sunday school, vacation at the beach, & make many new memories together

Our Family: 

We both come from amazing families and we are very close with all of them. Everyone lives close to us and there is so much love to go around. Together we have 6 parents, 8 siblings, 2 nephews, 2 nieces, and many grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We spend a lot of time together, especially around the holidays or for special events. We look forward to bringing another child into our family so they can be loved, cared for, and spoiled by everyone who is a part of our lives.
