We both have a lot of life experience that we can't wait to share with a child. By sharing our life experiences, we hope to help guide the child to become the best person he/she can be. We plan to support the child's involvement in his/her own chosen hobbies, sports, clubs, fun activities and educational opportunities. Much like our parents did for us. By supporting the child's involvement in various activities, we hope to help the child become a well rounded person with many interests.

As children, we both have fond memories of visiting amusement parks, zoos, museums, historical sites and the great outdoors. Our childhood experiences have created lifelong memories along with an appreciation for varied activities and seeing new sites. Together as a couple, we have traveled out West to explore the beauty of our National Parks.

We would like to share all of these life experiences, and so much more, with a child. We feel by introducing the child to the world around him/her, the child will become interested in learning and excited about getting a good education. When the child becomes a young adult, we plan to help him/her choose a college, or vocational school, so that the child has a chance at a career the child loves, a family of their own and a lifestyle that will make the child happy. It is our greatest hope that we will be able to provide the child with the skills and education that he/she needs to fulfill his/her own dreams.

Although being a parent is an awesome responsibility, we consider it to be a privilege as well. Being able to share our life with a child is a special gift that we will never take for granted. We are committed to the task of being good parents and see ourselves as hands-on, involved parents. When we spend time with our friend's children, we often find ourselves taking part in the games the kids are playing. We are easily persuaded into going down the waterslide so that all can enjoy the big splash created by the two big kids (us). We find that children, and even teens, really connect with us since we are such a fun loving couple. And, we both have had some experience mentoring and interacting with young adults. Joe befriended many young Soldiers while on his deployment and Crystal had many younger "study buddies" when she went back to school as an adult to change her career. Since we know that life is not all fun and games, we are also prepared to provide the tools necessary for ensuring healthy and happy development. We won't miss doctor's appointments or the dreaded dentist appointments. School and homework will always be a priority. Most of all, we hope to provide the child with many wonderful memories. We are so looking forward to everything from family vacations to Christmas mornings to summer days spent at the beach to backyard BBQs with friends & family to simply, eating dinner together as a family. And even, those long homework hours! We plan to carry on family traditions where holidays and birthdays are always celebrated with the greatest amount of joy and cheer. For us, family, friends and cake equal tradition!
