As the sole owner and employee of a landscape company, Steve works long, hard hours in the springtime, but he has the opportunity of setting his own hours for the summertime and the fall. And best of all, he has winters off.

Stefanie is a homemaker who cannot wait to be a stay at home mom as well. She helps Steve with the business by taking care of the finances. Steve does all of the "hard labor" and Stef works on all the "behind the scenes" tasks of the business. She enjoys working from home because it allows her to keep up with the daily chores of taking care of the house. She also has lots of time to cook Steve's favorite meals.

We feel that life is short, so we try to enjoy ourselves as much as possible. Steve's parents have a house on the lake where we like to spend long weekends. We go boating on the lake, tubing, and swimming and just have a great time. Steve's family also owns a beach house where we spend a week or two in the summertime. We also try to go somewhere new every once in awhile. In fact, we will be going to Hawaii soon, and we are so excited! It would bring us so much joy to include your child in our life. To watch him/her discover all the beauties of the world would be our greatest gift.

We enjoy a very close relationship with our family. We consider our siblings to be not only family, but good friends as well. Not only do we celebrate birthdays and holidays together, we spend many weekends getting together for dinner or just hanging out at each other's houses.

A couple of years ago, we even went on vacation to Northern California with Steve's brother's family. Steve lived in California for a while after college, so he was our tour guide. We drove all around San Francisco, Napa Valley, and many of the other beautiful areas of the state. We even thought about moving to California; it was so beautiful, but we didn't want to be so far away from all of our other family members. We had so much fun that a year later we all went back to California, this time exploring Sacramento and Mendocino.

We plan on future vacations to Aruba with Steve's sister's family. We feel so lucky that our good friends are also family!

Sully and Anabelle

More than anything, we love our leisure time and just being together! Our favorite thing to do is cuddle on the couch and watch movies. We also enjoy getting together with friends and family. We love to spend weekends at the family lake house and summers at the beach house. We enjoy going out to dinner with friends, or we just hang out at home playing cards, shooting pool, and listening to music.

We also enjoy spending time with our dog and cat, Sully and Anabelle. They always have us laughing because they are just so cute together. Sully is a big lap dog who just loves to cuddle. He would get under the covers with us in bed, if we let him! We like to spend time outdoors, taking the dog to the park or just sitting on our deck enjoying the peace and quiet.

Apart from each other, Steve loves movies and sports. His favorite movies are anything John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, James Bond, and Star Wars. He enjoys all sports, especially football and he plays softball in a league in the summertime. He also enjoys restoring antique furniture and gardening. He can tell you the Latin name of just about any plant!

Stef enjoys cooking and trying new recipes, which works out great for Steve since he loves eating! Steve enjoys her pasta carbonara the most. Stefanie also likes to read, do puzzles and get together with girlfriends for shopping or just heart to heart chats. Stefanie also volunteers some time each year to raising money for the March of Dimes.
