About Us

US

We both went to college at Texas A&M University. Claire majored in mathematics and Jeffrey in Industrial Engineering. We both joined the Baptist Student Ministry our freshman year. In 2015 we were both Bible study leaders of different groups and slowly got to know each other over the year. We began dating and most of our dates consisted of studying, getting coffee and snacks, and taking breaks by driving around exploring our town. We got engaged October of our senior year (2017) while finishing school, applying to jobs, and student teaching. It was a wild year but God was oh so faithful in each moment. We graduated from college and three weeks later got married! We moved to McKinney on a whim – about 30 minutes from each set of parents – and fell in love with the city. We absolutely LOVE doing life together and getting to explore the DFW area!

A primary factor of who we are as a couple is quality time spent together! We find lots of joy in time spent together, or with community even in the mundane things. We are avid board game players, coffee shop visitors, and amateur food enthusiasts. Some of our favorite moments with friends and family have happened just on a couch in deep conversation or over a cup of coffee!

We have been so blessed to have friends who live close by and that we get to see often! They are our chosen family and who we get to do life with. Our community has comforted us and rejoiced with us and we hope to continue walking with them as we get older! We have found a lot of joy in prioritizing our community and growing it! They love Jesus and us so well!.

In 2023 we adopted our son, Eliezer, and are absolutely obsessed with parenthood. He is in full toddler mode which has been the sweetest season of our lives (even with the hard tantrum moments). We are so incredibly thankful for the way God has blessed us in our marriage and are very excited for the years to come. Parenting has definitely been our favorite adventure yet!!

Our Family

The traditions we have made are so fun; yearly family beach trips and visits to Colorado. We do sibling trips with all of the nieces/nephews as well and love any time we get! We have annual friend trips and celebrate Dec 23rd with another couple and the kids. We have loved creating these traditions with our people. Of course they change as our friends, families, and we have children but it becomes more fun with each addition. We are so excited to continue these traditions as our family grows!

Our Home

our home

We bought our house June 2024 and are so blessed to live in a small, quiet neighborhood right next to multiple parks and schools. Most evenings we can hear kids playing in the street and lots of neighbors are out for a walk! This is the home we pray our kids can grow up in - it is the perfect place for us to raise our family!

We live ten minutes from most of our friends, church, and all our favorite places. We have a backyard that we LOVE to play in and we love sitting on the porch to drink our coffee. We have four bedrooms and three baths for us and our future family! Jeffrey works upstairs where there are two additional bedrooms and a play area that we spend most of our family time in. We both hope to live in this area as long as we can and build roots in this community!

Final Thoughts

our promise

Mama, if nothing else we hope you know how loved and valued you are. We do not know you or your child, but we love you both, and more importantly Jesus loves you both. Above all we want to raise kids in a home that loves and supports each other, guides them to grow into who they are, and who loves the LORD, others and themselves. Thank you for looking at us to raise your child - we promise to love and protect your child with all that we have.
