How We Met
We met in 2011 while on a business trip and became fast friends. Instantly a friendship was sparked between us, as we realized how much we had in common and noticed how well our personalities aligned. It didn't take long for us to develop feelings for one another as there wasn't a day that went by that wasn't filled with laughter - we just 'clicked' from day one. After eleven months of a wonderful long-distance relationship, Andrew landed a job in New York City and moved from Michigan. We got married in 2017 and have been living in a beautiful neighborhood together in Astoria, NYC, with our two little cats that we rescued (Penny & Stella).
Our Careers
We both have careers in higher education and work in New York City at large universities. We love the work that we do and we are fortunate to have similar career paths. We both value education and we both have earned bachelor's degrees and master's degrees.
Our Free Time
When we are not working we like to fill our time with a variety of activities. Our hobbies and interests consist of exploring and traveling to new places as we love to experience new cultures, we enjoy outdoor activities whether it be going to the beach or for a hike, you can always find us in the kitchen cooking or baking delicious treats. We love discovering new music and movies or anything pop culture related!
Journey to becoming Dads
Through our many adventures together we have always talked about starting a family together through adoption and we are so excited to be at this stage of our life. Our relationship is filled with love, commitment, trust, and an understanding of one another no matter what - and we can't wait to take on parenthood together. We have been surrounded by children of all ages throughout our lives- whether it's our niece and nephews, our cousins and their children, or our close friends' babies and toddlers. We are so looking forward for our baby to join in their company and future family celebrations.
