About Us

We first met in 2009 as active-duty Marines stationed in California, and our bond has only grown stronger. Today Larry works remotely in IT, while Mallory juggles property management and her passion for dog boarding and training. Larry enjoys reading and jiu-jitsu, and Mallory loves Peloton workouts, swimming, and training working dogs. Our favorite moments are spent together, whether it's quality time with family, traveling, or diving into new experiences. At home, we love movie marathons and snuggling with our pups. We're a dynamic duo, always eager to learn and explore and with a deep appreciation for family and friendship. As we look forward to the next chapter, our hearts are filled with hope and excitement for the adventures ahead!

Our Home & Pets

Our dream was to settle in Larry's home state of Illinois, near his family. We found a cozy, four-bedroom house amid farmland and horses, with our own fenced-in three acres and an in-ground pool. Plus we lucked out with a top-notch school district! Our three German shepherds and a mischievous Jack Russell terrier create a lively scene. The older shepherds bring wisdom and fun, while the terrier leads our daily adventures. Recently we added four chickens, who entertain us with their antics. Together our pets fill our days with laughter and love, making our home a joyful and quirky haven.

Our Extended Family

We’re incredibly blessed with a strong family bond. Alongside our blood relatives, we've formed deep connections with friends who are like family. Larry’s folks retired to northern Wisconsin but visit Illinois often to see their kids and grandkids. Larry’s sisters live nearby, and our holidays and a "cousin camp" in the summers are always a blast!

Mallory’s family is in Boston, and we visit them each year, catching up with her sister’s family, father, brother, and childhood friends who feel like family. They visit us too, marking milestones and simply enjoying each other's company.

In recent years, we’ve started epic family vacations, creating unforgettable memories that strengthen our bonds and enrich our lives in unimaginable ways.

What Led Us To Adoption

In the early days of our relationship, we talked about our hopes for the future, imagining a life filled with love, laughter, and the pitter-patter of little feet. But life threw us a curveball with fertility struggles—five years of ups and downs, hopes raised and dashed, but through it all, we’ve grown stronger together. Now we’re at a place where we’re ready to welcome a child into our lives, hopefully through adoption, cherishing every moment. We dream of raising them to be kind, resilient, and ready to make their mark on the world. We want their lives to be filled with joy, meaningful connections, and memories that last a lifetime.
