More About Our Family |
---|
Our Special Interests | Kat enjoys anything creative. She has spent time pursuing dance, painting, drawing, creative writing, singing and playing musical instruments. She had even worked with interior design, floral arranging, and much more. She was a freelance makeup artist in her free time for a while! Kat spends weekends in her garden because she loves watching all things grow. She loves the design, the challenge, and fulfillment that comes from creating something from nothing. She is also one of the on-staff worship leaders for our church, which fills a huge part of her heart...both music and Jesus!
All of Garrett's interests are activities that take him to the great outdoors. Fishing, hiking, paddle boarding, boating, playing all sports, exercising and barbecuin' are just a few things that bring him joy. He loves the smell of fresh air, the feeling of the sun's rays, and the sound of water rushing down a river! But for him, it's not just about merely doing those activities, but it's about bringing others along for the adventure; because Garrett loves to share the joys of the word and his adventures!
|
Our Faith | Our faith is everything to us. Kat works full-time at their church and Garrett interns there under one of the pastors on staff. He is actively pursuing further education and training to become a pastor one day. Our faith is more than just what we "do", Jesus is a huge part of who we are. Our relationships with Him is what informs just about every decision we make because we truly aim to live our lives for Him.
|
Our Musical Interest | We have very wide musical interests! Both of us can appreciate all types of music and spend time dancing to it in our kitchen! Garrett loves oldies, country, and anything that reminds him of the beach. Kat likes acoustic music, like Jack Johnson and John Mayer, and really enjoys jazz music, too!

About Our Home | Our home is modern, clean, and very bright. We aim for our home to be cozy and peaceful. With tons of windows and intentionally selected decor and paint colors, our home is always warm and inviting to others, while still being a place where rest comes easily. We have three bedrooms, and the corner bedroom is all ready to be a nursery! It has plenty of windows and lots of space for your baby to grow. We are planning on turning our first level into a playroom; it opens right up to the backyard for lots of fun both inside and outside! We are excited to make memories as a family roasting marshmallows around our fire pit, snuggling up and watching movies on Sunday afternoons, and playing fetch with our dogs in the backyard!

We live in the state of... | Virginia! Living in Virginia means we have easy access to Washington D.C. and all of the museums and rich history there. We are surrounded by history and educational opportunities at every turn, while still being just a car-ride away from apple picking, a day at the beach, or tubing down the local river. Living in this area also means access to many educational opportunities, diversity, and it is that home-town experiences that make us love where we live.
|
Our Neighborhood | Our neighborhood is well kept and quiet. We have a well-sized, fenced in backyard and also have a community pool. There is a private neighborhood park around the corner and the library is less than a block away. It's the perfect distance to walk to for afternoon story time! Our neighborhood is filled with young families. With plenty of places to ride a bike, throw a ball, and go on family walks, we think it's the perfect place to start our family!
