Getting to Know Us, Getting to Know All About Us

Our story began on a hot and humid Orlando evening.

We were singing karaoke with mutual friends and someone who looked like Santa was a big hit! We sang, we flirted… And we misread each other’s attempts at wooing :). As weeks passed, our friend who introduced us realized the misunderstanding and connected us to one another. Despite our busy work schedules, we chatted and texted every spare moment we had. Our connection was undeniable, and our relationship blossomed.

Since then we have gone on countless road trips singing “On the Open Road” from A Goofy Movie at the top of our lungs, we have performed on stage together, and we moved across the country to Seattle from Orlando with our two Alaskan Klee Kais (similar to a small Husky and great with children!): Link and Litty. We have traveled to several countries learning about cultures through food and meeting new people. In Seattle, we have both settled into our careers, discovered new passions, and met friends who have become our chosen family. As we have grown together and grown more in love, we realized it is time to start the next adventure: a family. We are really excited to start our adoption journey and to bring a child home. We know it will be magic!

Home Sweet Home

In our home, exploring isn’t just for travel, we believe that the home should be filled with books on any subject that interests you. Whether it is traveling to a fantastical land, the future, or delving into the life of a historical figure - the pages of a book can take you there. Art from our travels fill our walls to remind us to stop and enjoy the creativity of others. Art supplies and journals are stocked regularly as an outlet to explore our own creativity. Music can be heard as we clean, just need a dance break, or an impromptu karaoke session. We cannot wait to share these things with our future child.

Our home is cozy and near friends, family, parks, and activities - a perfect environment for a child to grow and thrive… And of course make magic happen!
