our new car
After driving our purple Cavalier for 9 and a half years, we finally broke down and bought a new car! It's a brand new 2009 Toyota Corolla and we love it!! The purple Cavalier (known lately as "the purple Beast" or "Grimace") still exists and only gets driven on rare occasions. It's amazing to actually be a two car family.

our adoption message
Dear Friends,
Before we tell you about ourselves, we want you to know that we can not even begin to comprehend the decision you face and we are very grateful for your courage and strength. Your decision is a hard one and we respect and love you very much, we pray for you every night that Heavenly Father will grant you the strength to make the best decision for your baby. You are a child of God, and He loves you very much, which makes you special in every sense of the word. So thank you for taking the time to consider us to be the parents of your child.
Okay, now about us, we are Jeff and Tiffany, and we are a loving couple who have been married for nine years. We get along well and like to have fun together. At this time we don’t have any children, which has given us the time to really get to know one another and has allowed our relationship to grow strong. Although we don’t have any children, we have the cutest dog in the world, Sadie. Sadie is an American Cocker Spaniel who loves to play with people and especially children. A friend once told us that if we take care of our children like we take care of our dog then you have nothing to worry about in placing your child with us.
Tiffany is an Interior Designer and loves to come up with new ideas of how to decorate our home. She is always doing things in the home to make it warm and inviting to those who visit. Tiffany is the quiet sort, until she gets to know you, then she’ll talk to you all the time. She likes to read, and more often than not I can find her sitting in our big chair or puffy couch with a book that she’ll probably finish in less than three days. Tiffany loves to scrapbook, it is not uncommon for me to come home from work and see the table covered in colorful paper, and the scrapbooking tools necessary to capture some of our fondest memories. She also loves to tole-paint, play the piano, and really loves to play with the nursery kids at church. Did I mention she makes really good marshmallow brownies? I often joke that her brownies are the number two reason I asked her to marry me!
Jeff is an Electrical Engineering Technologist / Systems Engineer. He is currently going to school to get his Masters Degree in Systems Engineering. He likes to read, watch movies, and make movies. He has edited and put together 4 wedding videos and has made a few other movies also. He likes to go mountain biking and play with remote controlled cars. He can often be found taking apart and or putting back together his bike or RC car because he broke something while he was using it. He loves to take anything apart, figure out how it works and put it back together. He also likes to play on the computer. He is very outgoing and will talk to anyone who will listen to him. He is kind, loving, and is great with kids. He loves to get down on the floor with them and build anything they can imagine. He likes to cook, especially grilling and Dutch oven, and loves to come up with new recipes.
Together we like to take Sadie for walks in the park, play games, watch movies, read books, go camping, cook, and overall just spend time together.
We both come from close families who are very excited for us to welcome a child into our home. Tiffany comes from a family with loving parents who raised her in a loving home. She has an older sister and two younger brothers, who are all married, and we all love to get together to talk and play games. Jeff also has loving parents who raised him in a home where hard work and responsibility were guiding principles. He is the oldest of five boys, who are all married and spread throughout the world. So when the family gets the opportunity to spend time together its fun to hear the many stories.
We hope this letter has given you the insight as to what kind of family we are and hope to become. We know Heavenly Father has, and will continue to watch over us, and our hope is to have the type of home where a child has every opportunity to understand they too are a child of God. The decision you are making is a difficult one, one of which we don’t envy you for having to make, however we know that we could not have a family without you and are deeply grateful to you. The struggle of infertility has been a long and painful road, and we have had to look to our Heavenly Father for direction and comfort. Our hope and prayer is that you can have the same comfort in knowing our Heavenly Father has led us here to you, so that you may know your child is being placed in a loving home with parents who will love him/her unconditionally. Our goal is to have an eternal family, and a home where our children will be able to look to us, and to our Heavenly Father for hope, comfort, encouragement, and most of all love.
Love,
Jeff and Tiffany
