Genelyn and Justin
Hello! We are Justin and Gen!
Though we may not know each other yet, we are praying for you. We pray for your heart to be settled, your mind to be at ease, and your spirit to have peace. We will never pretend to know what it is like to walk in your shoes, but we hope we are blessed with the opportunity to know you and learn how we can specifically pray for you.
We want nothing more but to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing home for your precious baby. As you read through our profile, we hope our words will resonate with you and provide you with comfort.
About Us
We’ve been married for 13 years, which somehow feels like five minutes and forever all at once!
We met through a mutual friend and quickly became friends ourselves. One evening, Justin felt bold enough to ask Gen out on a date and to his delight, she gave an enthusiastic yes! Justin is endlessly curious and loves learning about everything, and Gen could spend hours antiquing or dreaming up her next interior design project. We balance each other in the best way.
We have a beautiful daughter named Savannah, who is two and completely full of life. If there is music playing, you’ll find her dancing and singing the words as if she wrote the song herself. She keeps our home energetic, happy, and full of laughter.
We are grateful to be part of an incredible church family and love serving on the guest experience team, helping people feel welcome and at home. Most weekends are spent with family and friends, whether that means game nights, beach days, pickleball matches, or hosting a cozy dinner.
Home and Family
We live in a vibrant, diverse community in Southern California that truly feels like home.
Our house is warm and welcoming, the kind of place where people gather easily and laughter carries from room to room. We have a big backyard that our daughter loves to run around in, and it has quickly become the heart of many sweet, everyday memories.
One of the things we love most about where we live is how much beauty surrounds us. We can be in the mountains in about 20 minutes or at the beach within an hour, which means there is always a little adventure waiting. Our neighborhood is filled with parks, and it is a common sight to see families playing and spending time together, something that means a lot to us.
Some of Gen’s family lives just 10 to 30 minutes away, and Justin’s family is spread throughout Northern and Southern California. Staying closely connected to them is very important to us. We make it a priority to visit often and have built traditions around celebrating holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas together, gathering around the table, sharing stories, and making lasting memories.
Things that make us happy:
Spending quality time as a family
Game nights with friends and family
Trying new foods
Gardening
Serving together at our church!
Our friends would describe us as:
Fun and adventurous
Loyal and trustworthy
Loving and patient
Kind and compassionate
“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
In Closing
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us.
We cannot imagine all the emotions you may be carrying, but we want you to know how much we respect your strength and heart. We hope these words and photos gave you a genuine glimpse into our lives and the love that fills our home. Being parents is the greatest joy of our lives, and we would love your child wholeheartedly and fiercely. We are committed to being steady protectors, gentle nurturers, and constant encouragers, creating a home where your child can grow, flourish, and become exactly who they are meant to be.
More than anything, your child would always know they are deeply loved and truly wanted. We would speak of you with gratitude and honor, making sure they understand the courage and love behind your decision. Your story and your love would always be part of theirs.
Thank you again for considering our family. No matter what you decide, we hope you feel surrounded by care and support, and that you know you are deeply valued and never alone.
