About Us

This is us...

We know it sounds cliche, but we met online…by accident. We connected via social media, thinking that the person we connected with was someone else. When we started looking at each other’s pictures, we soon noticed that there had been a case of mistaken identity. After realizing we didn’t actually know each other, we had a mutual friend reach out to us individually to try and play matchmaker. We chatted back and forth for three weeks via email, talking about everything you can imagine – music, work, church, friends, food, and life. Our first conversation on the phone was incredible and lasted for several hours. After a month of speaking to each other, we decided to meet. Our first date was the day before Valentine’s Day and we both knew instantly that we were going to marry each other. From then on, we frequented new and unique restaurants, wandered through museums, hung out at the beach, and got to know each other’s friends and family. 13 months after our first date, we were married, and it has been the most incredible journey.

About Caleb (in Alaine’s words):
Caleb is truly one of a kind and there are so many things that I admire about him. He believes in the importance of hard work and that things in life shouldn’t be given out, except for gifts, of course – he’s wonderful at gift giving! He is a true leader in our home, and I love that he leads our family in prayer and teachings about Jesus. He is kind, compassionate, trustworthy, loyal, and one of the most generous people I know. He has a calmness about him and never seems to get stressed about anything. He loves Gad, his family, and loves people, regardless of their background. Caleb never meets a stranger and knows how to make people feel comfortable. He is musically talented and has the most amazing singing voice, can play the piano, and loves to serve people. He is also the best dad to our two kiddos. He supports our children in their endeavors, guides them through tough situations, listens to them and gives the best advice, reads Barbie books with our daughter and loves watching America’s Funniest Home Videos with our son. He will do anything for our kids and is excited to share all these things, and more, with our adopted child as well.

Life together has shown us how resilient the both of us are. Through the ups and downs of life, we have relied on our faith in God and our love for each other to get us through any tough time. Our love has truly grown over the past 12 years, and we can’t imagine life without each other.
