Our Story
We met in winter 2015 when Haley’s best friend married Ethan’s childhood friend. After our friends’ marriage, they would host game nights where we would hang out. Not much later, we wanted to start hanging out, just the two of us! Our first few dates were at a museum, an Oktoberfest, and an outdoor movie showing of Star Wars!
In summer 2017, Ethan got a new job and moved 90 minutes away from Haley. A longer distance drew us closer together, and Ethan proposed on Haley’s 26th birthday in 2018, at a German restaurant! A funny moment from this night is that the waiter accidentally interrupted Ethan’s proposal speech (before he got down on one knee)!
We were married in summer 2019, surrounded by family and friends. Our honeymoon was in Florida at Disney World, Universal Studios (mostly the Harry Potter section!) and Cocoa Beach. It was an amazing trip! After our honeymoon, we moved to our first, and current, home in small town Texas. And the rest is history!

Our Extended Family
Ethan has a mother, a father, and two brothers. Both of his brothers are married, and one has two young children of his own. Ethan has many cousins who mostly live within an hour away. We see each other around holidays but are in frequent contact with each other through phone calls and messaging. We enjoy outdoor activities such as camping and cooking out. For the last few years we have planned a large family vacation in the summer, where we all stay in a rented house and enjoy the local attractions while spending time together.
Haley is an only child and is close with both her mom and dad, who live about 20 minutes away. Haley does have a large extended family on both sides and is on good terms with them. Most of her extended family lives within 90 minutes away, and we see them at least annually for holidays and other events. Our favorite is the big gathering on Christmas Eve. Haley also has extended family in South Carolina and enjoys visiting them with the rest of her family.

Our Home
We have a three-bedroom, 1 ½-bathroom home on half an acre of land. We live in a small Texas town of about 2,000 people. The community is tight-knit but very accepting of newcomers. Our town is close to a major lake in Texas, and has an idyllic little town square surrounded by businesses and churches. Like the town, our local school district is small, with only one elementary, intermediate, middle, and high school. Haley works in the town that we live in at the intermediate school, which is less than a five-minute commute. There are several larger towns and cities nearby that we enjoy visiting. We have a dachshund named Millie, who is four years old, is very friendly, and loves humans.
Our Journey to Adoption
Haley: I love everything about Ethan! He loves me unconditionally, is never judgemental, and always supports me. He’s always kind, cares about others and enjoys lifelong learning. He’s helped me grow in my faith and makes me feel safe. I’m so blessed to have him, and the home and family we are building together.
Ethan: What I love most about Haley is how she expands my life. She is so adventurous, and I love that I get to go on these adventures with her. I love her dedication to the interests she loves, and I always enjoy seeing what she wants to try next. On top of that, she is always dedicated to her family, friends, and students and cares deeply for them.
