We have known each other so long now, it's almost hard to remember how exactly we met, but we've known each other since junior high school. We were high school sweethearts who went on our first "date" at fifteen. Neither of us were old enough to drive, so Matt's parents had to drop us off and pick us up from the movie theater where we watched Aladdin. We continued dating long distance through most of college and after we graduated, we both settled back into our hometown and have been together ever since. It still seems unreal sometimes that we've known each other as long as we have, and who would have ever thought at age fifteen that we'd end up married to each other!

Being a parent is the most amazing part of our life. Nothing has ever brought us so much joy and laughter. We're really good at all the fun things, like smothering kids with kisses, tickling them from head to toe, and pretending to be Spiderman for the one thousandth time. We're also aware of all the responsibility that raising a child brings as well. Discipline in a supportive manner is important and we enforce it by teaching the differences between right and wrong, showing manners and modeling how important it is to respect others. Being a parent also means you are a very important role model. We have quickly become aware, thanks to our son that kids really will do whatever you do and say whatever you say! They truly seek out your affection, helpfulness and approval and we give back all of these things and more. We absolutely adore babies and small children, but in reality, they will be all grown up one day. We really hope that we will look back with pride on all the things we've taught our kids and how we've help mold them into successful and productive adults. There will never be a shortage of love, attention, admiration, kisses and hugs, acceptance or guidance in our home, no matter if our children are two years old or twenty-two years old. We do not take being parents for granted and honestly cherish the blessing children bring into our lives.

Happy 4th Birthday Trey!

Our 4 year old son, Trey, is the light of both of our lives. He's a pretty typical preschooler who loves superheroes, baseball, swimming lessons, reading books, playing outside and most of all his dog and his cousin. He's also the best entertainment anyone could ask for! When he's singing and dancing (almost constantly and as serious as can be) you can't help but crack up at him. Even though he's growing up so incredibly fast, he still has that youthful innocence that is so contagious, you can't help but join in and carry on right with him!

We feel we were enormously blessed when God gave us Trey. Raising him is such a joy and reward that we cannot imagine not being able to do it again. We understand that you may have reservations about sharing your child with a family who already has a biological son. All we can do is assure you that we wholeheartedly believe that every child is so unique and special as an individual. We have plenty of room in our hearts for your child to fill up and without a doubt will love that child 100% as much. This is something we deeply believe, and we wouldn't want to adopt another child if we thought anything less. Also, having a relationship with our sisters was so important to us growing up. Now we want to give the same opportunity to your child and Trey. Every child deserves to have a sibling. It teaches them so much as they grow, giving them someone to trust with big issues they might be afraid to share with their parents, and a lifelong companion they've created memories with as far back as they can remember. In our perfect world, we can imagine Trey growing up with a younger brother to wrestle, compete and create mischief with, or a little sister who is the princess of our house that he will show the ropes to and protect for a lifetime, especially from other boys.
