We both love music and grew up playing in concert bands as well as marching bands. We love all different genres of music, so our child will have a broad appreciation for all types of music. Nicole was big into singing her entire life and still enjoys it to this day, though it’s mostly in the car or while baking. She loves to bake cakes and cookies in her spare time as it gives me a chance to slow down and unwind. Christian loves to tinker and enjoys fixing things and working on cars.

We live approximately 40 minutes from the Gulf Coast and fully take advantage of every opportunity to spend the day on the beach by the pier. We encourage all of our family and friends to come down and visit us so we can take time to spend on the water and enjoy the camaraderie.

We are extremely lucky and blessed to have amazing friends and family that are here to support us and our child. Nicole’s parents currently live only a few hours away from us. Nicole’s mom has always had a nurturing demeanor while her dad is hard working and determined. Her brother and his wife live in New York. Nicole’s best friend will be a big part of the child's life. She is outgoing, passionate, and will do anything and everything for those she loves. Christian’s mom and stepdad only live a few hours away from us and are going to play a huge role in helping us raise our child. Christian’s mom has been so excited at the idea of becoming a Grandma as is his step dad in becoming a Papa. Christian’s brother and sister both live in New York but are extremely excited about the thought of us becoming parents. His brother is hard-working, driven, goal-oriented, but funny and spontaneous and always up for an adventure. His sister is smart, caring and nurturing and has a dream of becoming a mother to a large family herself.

Our home has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, so we have plenty of space for a child, as well as our 2 dogs. Our back yard is fenced in so our child can play and enjoy the outdoors without us having to worry about them wandering off. We have a beautiful front porch to sit on and enjoy the weather and are excited to watch our child play in the front yard as well. We have 2 dogs in our home. We have Kai, who is a 10 year old Husky. We also have our Staffie mix, Ollie. He’s 50 lbs. of pure love and energy. We believe he’s around 2 years old.

We love to travel. Our favorite form of travel/vacationing is going on a cruise. We have taken a couple of cruises since being together and hope to go on more in the future, especially with our child. We love exploring new places and seeing historical sites, learning about new cultures and especially trying the food.

We also love a good lazy day by the pool and hanging out with our friends. We also enjoy riding 4-wheelers and just being outdoors and spending time together. Really, for me, the best day is when I get to spend quality time with Christian, no matter what we do, we always have fun.
