Dear Expectant Mom,
We admire your bravery and decision to consider life and we would like you to know we approach this journey with gratitude and respect. For us the meaningfulness of marriage, childhood and family is unmatched by anything else and we are excited and ready to embark on this incredible adventure of love and endless possibilities!
We live in a two-story Cape style home with four bedrooms and a spacious fenced-in backyard. Our favorite spot inside our home is our living room but our backyard is our sanctuary and we can’t wait to play outside as a family on warm summer nights or cozy snow days and everything in between! It is also the best spot for the most beautiful sunrises!
We bought our home in 2016 from the original family that built it. We were supposed to look at another house that day but the appointment didn’t work out. With three months before our wedding it was a whirlwind of a summer to get the house ready and we moved in just a couple of weeks before our big day! We were so glad to have found our forever home and are very grateful to our parents for easing our nerves and helping us see beyond the wallpaper!
Since that time we have continued to put a lot of love into our home with other projects and renovations to make it our own, and to have room to grow! We still have so many more ideas and projects to come but one thing is certain our house has become a beloved home and the holder of many happy memories that we can not wait to add to!
Our families both originate from Long Island, NY and remained here as we were growing up. We were both fortunate to be raised to value family and now as adults we enjoy spending quality time with everyone. Whether it’s planning an outting that everyone can attend, Sunday dinners or the holidays we cherish the opportunities we have to spend with those we love. Jamie’s parent’s neighbors and our close-knit group of friends also make up a small circle of special loved ones that we know we can always rely on for adventures, memories, support and love! We are lucky to have grown traditions that make our time with our loved ones special from our backyard olympics, summer BBQ, pizza friday’s, beach house vacations and date nights with friends we always find ways to stay connected!
