Our Story

We have been married for six years.

Many years ago, Justin began what would be a life-long friendship with a guy who he played in the church worship band with. Around the same time, Kelsie began taking ballet and met a girl that she, too, would create a life-long friendship with. Fast forward twelve years and those two friends of ours met and got married. We were both in their wedding party, but we didn't even speak on the day of their wedding.

A year and a half later, the newly married couple was having a masquerade birthday party. Both of us were invited and unknown to us, our friends had a plan to introduce us. We chatted for a while, even danced with one another, exchanged numbers, and the rest is history. Who would've thought that through two mutual friends getting married that we would meet our future spouses? God's timing and His plan for our lives is truly more than we could ever ask for or imagine!

Welcome To Our Home

Our home is our haven. It is a three bedroom, two bath home set in the very back of a quiet neighborhood right at the foot of surrounding mountains. Over the past six years, we've renovated almost every inch of the home. Our goal was to make our home a special, sacred space where we could both relax at the end of a busy day, but we could also throw a party and have all of our friends and family over. The space is bright and airy, but still warm and cozy. We have a large back deck for entertaining, as well as a big backyard that backs up to many acres of wooded land. It truly feels like private space!

Meet Olivia

Our Olivia, or "Livi" as we lovingly call her, is our precious little girl! She's a dearly loved part of our family. She is the definition of sunshine. She makes the good days better and the hard days easier. She is a brilliant, spunky, fun little three-year-old Goldendoodle.

Our favorite thing is to be together!

On weekday nights you'll find us at home after work seated at our dining room table enjoying a meal together. We eat dinner together at the table every night and talk about our day. After that, we love to take our dog, Olivia, for a walk around our neighborhood and continue our chats. On weekends, you'll find us looking for a new adventure to take together; hopefully with Olivia. We enjoy getting outside with her and giving her the best life we can. We also enjoy finding new restaurants to try! On Sunday mornings, you'll find us engaged in Bible study with our small group of like-minded friends before church. After small group, we enjoy worshiping and learning about the Lord in service. Justin often plays guitar with the worship band. Once a month, Kelsie works with the preschoolers during church. Once a month, we also step in for the children's director and run the kid's church.

Justin's Hobbies and Interests:

• I enjoy playing guitar, especially on Sundays with our church worship band.

• I love to drink coffee. A peppermint mocha is my favorite!

• I enjoy working out and love to run long distances.

• I love all things Christmas.

Kelsie's Hobbies and Interests:

• I love spending time with my extended family and getting together for family dinners.

• I enjoy home decor and home projects.

• I love my plants! Spring time is so fun because it's time for new ones!

• I consider my friends my family. I love being with them and their children!
