Pictures from Chicago

Here are a few pictures from our recent visit to Chicago. We had a meeting there, but managed to get a lot of sightseeing and playtime! It is very much a family city, with lots for everyone to do. We stayed within a block of the American Girl store, and went to Millenium Park to watch the kids play in the fountain!

Our Story

Our love began in a high school; David was a senior football player ready to go to college and Sarah was a sophomore basketball player involved in many school activities. We dated for a couple of years, but we needed time to mature and find out what we wanted out of life. One Halloween we reconnected, and instantly knew that we were meant to be together, and two years later we were married. Once we both completed degrees, Sarah a doctorate in Audiology and David a degree in engineering, we purchased our house. We have built a solid marriage and life with our 2 dogs, Maggie and Tilly.



We both have careers we love. David is an engineer for a hearing aid company and Sarah is an audiologist. We both work for companies Sarah’s father has created, and we even work in the same building! Our jobs give us financial stability, but we also have great flexibility in our working schedules.Traveling is a big part of our lives. We have been to many places in the United States, Thailand, Germany, Sweden, and places in the Caribbean. There are still many places we cannot wait to see, and can’t wait to show our children the world.

We have a camper and try to go camping as often as possible. We love to hike, mountain bike, and do anything on the water. We live in the mountains and have 3 lakes within 30 minutes of our house. Sarah loves running, reading, and cooking (as long as David does the dishes). David recently discovered Adventure Racing, which involves a combination of running, biking, and canoeing.

Family and Friends

We are so lucky to have our families living less than 15 minutes away. We see Sarah’s father daily at the office, and David has a weekly golf match with him most of the year. Sarah’s mother works for the local university. We go to basketball games with her and she tries to teach us about landscaping. David’s mother is our go to dog sitter when we can’t take them with us on trips. Sarah has a younger sister that recently just moved to West Virginia. This will be the first grandchild for both of our families and they can’t wait to spoil their grandchild to death. We love being with our families at random cookouts, sporting events, plays, dinner parties, and holidays. David has a large extended family of cousins that are like siblings that also live close by.

Everyday we think how blessed we are to have a close-knit group of friends. Several of our friends have children and we love to baby-sit for them.

Thank you for taking time to read about our lives and for considering us. We would love to talk or meet with you if you choose to answer any questions you may have about your child’s future or us. Please know that our thoughts are with you as you make your decision.

About David (by Sarah)

Everyone’s first impression of David is he is the funny guy. He loves telling jokes or doing anything to get a smile on someone’s face. This is evident in his love for karaoke; you have to wrestle the microphone away from him. His sensitivity and compassion for family and friends is a trait I haven’t seen in many people. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Whether it is helping a friend move, laying floor in my mom’s house, figuring out a problem at work, or tearing up the first time he told me he loved me, David’s passion for life is evident.

Aside from being the life of the party, David can discuss important business with people all over the world. He is very intelligent and the best problem solver I know.

Sports have always been apart of David’s life. He loves passing football in the yard, shooting hoops, playing golf, or watching any sport on television. I know he can’t wait to coach any sport if our child chooses to play sports.
All of our friends call David the “baby whisperer.” My best friends little girls always want to see their “Dabid.” They have been known to demand to see him and they listen to him whenever he tells them to do anything. Another friends little boy reaches out for David as soon as he can see David.

I love seeing David with children, and I remember the first time seeing David feed a baby then offer to change the diaper. I had always known David would be a fantastic father, but that sealed the deal.

About Sarah (by David)

I truly believe that without Sarah in my life I would not be the person I am today.

Sarah is the most sincere and caring person I know. Friends and family both rely on her when they are in need and she has been their rock even through her own down times. We have a mutual friend who is a single parent raising two young girls. The last year has been especially rough for her and the way Sarah has taken it upon herself to make sure she does everything she can to ease her burdens has truly inspired me. Seeing her interact with these two girls as well as all of our friend's and family's children has definitely left me looking forward to creating a family of our own.

In addition to family and friends, work is another aspect of Sarah's life she put her entire heart into. After seven years of dedication to continuing her education she still says the most satisfying part of the entire journey is seeing the look on a patients face when they hear something they may have never heard before. She goes out of her way to make sure she makes a connection with every person that comes into her office even to the extent of driving a patient home after a visit so they don't have to wait in the cold for the bus.

I couldn't possibly share with you all the things that make me the luckiest man in the world. All I can hope is to spend the rest of my life sharing them with a child of our own.
