Dates



We have been blessed with some awesome babysitters 
who allow us to get away on date nights to laugh and spend time together.



One of our favorite things to do is to go to concerts and find new music together.




Travels



We're always up for an adventure. 
Even with a little one we've been from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast.


Every summer we travel to Maine and every year we take several other road trips.





Our Friends


We are blessed to have friends that love us like family.


 We are so blessed to have such amazing friends in our lives. 
They make us laugh, make us think, and make us better.



Whether it talking over coffee, going to dinner, or play dates with the little ones,
we love our community of friends.

Our Home and Community



We live in a newly remodeled turn of the century home. It's cozy enough to keep us close together but large enough to share with family and friends.


We live on a quiet street in a small town. We're next door to our church, down the street from two parks, and within walking distance to the excellent schools, library and bakery. There's a great neighborhood pool in the summer, a hockey rink in the winter, and horses at the end of our street.





While we love the convenience of being 15 minutes away from the stores and amenities of a larger city, we love the peaceful pace of life in a small town. 


We've had fun setting up the nursery and 
praying for the sweet little one who will fill it.
