Our LIFE Together

We have always been a complement to each other with humor, home life, and emotional support. We are dedicated to each other and form a strong and loyal team. Our similarities are that we love to laugh, work hard, and want our children to experience the wonder and discoveries of childhood.

We love being together! No matter what we are doing, it’s always better when we are doing it as a family. We especially like renovating homes back to their rightful glory. We live in a beautiful area and enjoy getting out into fresh air, whether that be hiking, bike riding, going for walks, or sitting on the deck. In the fall we keep busy picking apples, pears, peaches, plums and grapes from trees around our yard. Relaxing with each other involves activities like reading, playing board games and visiting.

We also enjoy travel and believe that it helps add depth and open mindedness to ours and our children’s character. Kannan can get anxious about things from time to time, and Jonathan is a level headed breath of fresh air that helps Kannan stay grounded. Our friends and family say we are fun to be around. We like to show people that they are special and show them we care by giving them undivided attention, time, and small acts of kindness.

We are so blessed to have a close family, including extended family. We also have a wonderful group of friends. Our families are involved in each other’s lives in a thoughtful and hands-on way. We all attend events to support each other in activities such as church, sports, music, or simply a long weekend! Our friends are family oriented too. We will meet at parks, each other’s homes, or at the library so our kids can play, and we can watch them explore and grow together.

Our goal has always been to build a family on a foundation of love. We began this journey in 2016 when we worked on getting pregnant and at the same time began the process to adopt. In 2017, Kannan got pregnant and gave birth to our daughter in 2018. We feel excited to adopt and have our family grow!
