-Britt & Chris
While we have been married since 2016, our friendship dates back to 2007. We spent many years playing softball and sand volleyball together, watching college football games, and enjoying each other’s company before ultimately deciding to date. The rest is history! Chris is an IT consultant; he works on websites for various companies. Britt is an attorney and enjoys helping people through perhaps their toughest times. Our relationship is based on faith and fun. Together, we are active in our local church, love watching sporting events and live music, enjoy the outdoors, and love to travel and see the world. Britt enjoys being active in the community and giving back and leads a pretty active lifestyle with running, cycling, and participating in various races and triathlons. Chris also enjoys cycling as well as cooking, sports, and teaching himself how to complete new home projects.
We live in a diverse and welcoming community. We are walking distance to parks, the elementary school, and an ice cream shop. Our home sits on a one-acre wooded lot, and we have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room for kids to play. Our house has three bedrooms, a finished basement, and a bonus room we are converting into a playroom. We have a dog, Carmen (2), who loves to snuggle. We also have a 17-year-old cat, Izzy, who bosses the dog around.
Both of us come from relatively small families and were raised by loving parents. Chris’s parents have been married almost 50 years, and Britt’s parents have been married almost 40 years. Our parents raised us to be kind, compassionate people, and they continue to challenge us to be the best version of ourselves. Chris’s immediate family lives closest to us, so we see them most often. Chris has one brother, who is also married. Britt’s immediate family is about three hours away, but because Britt is an only child, we spend time with them often.
Both of us have family traditions we are excited to share. Britt’s parents have a pool and a beautiful three-acre property; they throw a weekend-long family reunion each year over July Fourth weekend. It’s wonderful spending the holiday weekend seeing all the extended family. Britt’s family also spends the day after Thanksgiving listening to Christmas music while decorating the house for the holidays. Chris’s family gets together throughout the year for activities like making and decorating cookies, game nights, and family cookouts. Each person in Chris’s family also gets their own birthday party each year.
When we began having conversations about growing our family, the topic of adoption surfaced pretty quickly. We believe strongly that there are many ways to have a family. We have several family friends who have adopted, and we have seen what a blessing it’s been in their lives. We ultimately chose this path and truly believe it is best for our family. We have a lot of love to give to a child and are eager and blessed to have this opportunity.
