About Us

This is Our Love Story

**About Michael**

Michael is an exceptional elementary school teacher with experience ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade. Shortly after graduating college, he had the incredible opportunity to teach at an international school overseas. This experience not only allowed him to serve the Lord but also opened his eyes to new places and cultures. Now, he teaches at our neighborhood school, where many of his students live nearby and often stop by to say hello when we’re outside. He is the teacher that all little kids want to have when they get to his grade level. Michael is the kindest person I know, always putting others before himself. His great sense of humor brings joy to everyone around him, and he loves to have fun and try new things. Michael will be an amazing dad! He cannot wait to give our child all the opportunities that he had growing up as well as so much more. As an only child, his parents are beyond excited to welcome their first grandchild and be an active part of their life.

**About Nicki**

Nicki is truly amazing with children! Nicki excelled as a teacher and an academic coach. Her talent for leading teachers and mentoring students led to her recent promotion as Assistant Principal last school year. This past summer, she took on the role of principal at her district’s Summer Enrichment Camp. This opportunity allowed her to shine in a new role while helping the students excel. Nicki has a genuine care for others and always thinks about how they feel. She is the sweetest and most loving person I know, and I have no doubt she will be a fantastic mom. Nicki’s parents are thrilled to welcome their second grandchild, and look forward to having the opportunity to spoil him/her in the same ways they have spoiled their first grandchild.

**About Us**

We first met online eleven years ago through an app, and for our first date, we chose Starbucks, thinking it would be a quick cup of coffee. Four hours later, we were still engrossed in conversation, so we decided to grab dinner. What started as a short outing turned into a nine-hour adventure! From the very beginning, we felt God’s presence in our relationship, and we knew He had brought us together. After dating for over two years, we got engaged and married exactly one year later. Our journey has been filled with love, faith, and unforgettable moments. We have now been married for 8 years. Our love for each other is strong and continues to grow. We look forward to sharing that love with our child, helping them to thrive and reach their full potential. We want to share all of our passions and help our kiddo develop passions of their own.
