About Us
A ping pong table in a small Bible college in Pennsylvania is where it all began. Our friendship in the beginning laid the foundation for our relationship later and we got to know each other over games of ping pong. When we started studying together and spending more time with each other, we realized we had a strong connection. Rob thought Jessica was beautiful and fun to be around. Jessica admired how much Rob cared for his friends and family. It didn't take us long to see that we were meant to be together and have been inseparable ever since.
Each day is a blessing as we spend time together doing the activities we love. Walking around local theme parks, visiting the beach, and meeting up with Rob's family are some of our favorite things. Jessica enjoys cooking healthy meals, and Rob helps out around the house. An evening walk around the neighborhood is a nice way to catch up and enjoy nature. We plan weekly outings and look forward to our annual summer vacations. It will be a joy to have our little one in our lives!

Robert's TESTIMONY
I was saved in the fall of 1996 at a concert by the Christian artist, Carmen. After singing and having a great time at the concert, Carmen gave his testimony. As I listened to his life story, I realized that I was a sinner and needed God's grace in my life. When he gave an altar call, I enthusiastically met with a volunteer and he walked me down the Romans Road. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior that day and have been following him ever since.
Jessica's TESTIMONY
On March 1, 1997, I became a Christian at the age of 9 years old. I had been learning about sin, heaven, and hell during church. I realized that I was a sinner and the only way to erase my sins was through Jesus. I believed that Jesus came to the Earth to die for our sins. I asked God to come into my life and change me that day. I wanted to go to heaven to live with God for eternity. I know that I am a sinner saved by God's grace. After becoming Christian, my heart is now at peace. I know that God is in control of my life and we are here on Earth for His purpose.

God has changed our lives for the better and our faith is important to us. Rob accepted Christ into his life when he was eight. and Jessica when she was nine. We pray daily to God because we know he cares about our lives and what is important to our family. Every Sunday, we attend a local church and have several friends who check in with us. Jessica loves playing her French Horn in the church orchestra. We are making it a priority to read our Bible more.

ABOUT Robert
Meet Rob by Jessica
Rob is a loving and fun husband, brother, son, and uncle. He truly cares for his family and puts our needs above his own. There is no doubt in my mind that Rob will make the most incredible dad as he has shown time and time again his love towards his little nephew. I’ll never forget when we stayed at Rob's sister's house one night when his nephew was an infant. Rob rushed out into the living room to help his sister with a crying baby at 5 a.m. If that’s not a dedicated dad in the making I don't know what is!
One of my earliest memories of Rob was seeing the connection between him and his Grandma Susan. Rob greeted his Grandma with a big bear hug and she would spoil him with his favorite foods. It is so evident how close he is with so much of his family including his dad, sister and Lola. I just know that when we meet our little one Rob’s will be absolutely smitten.
EXTENDED FAMILY
Every day with family is a new adventure. Rob's parents and grandmother are very energetic and always on the move. Everytime we visit, we go out to nearby attractions or walk around at the canal. They love to spend time at the resorts and splash around at the local pools with us. The perfect ending to their day is a stop at the local buffet for a family dinner. Rob's sister and her family also live nearby. We like to stop by her house to visit with her and her son. It's fun to see our little nephew dancing around and making everyone smile. It is very special when everyone is able to meet up together for holidays, especially Christmas. Family is a priority and we visit often.

Rob works in Park Services at a local theme park and has a Bachelor's degree in Education.

ABOUT OUR HOME
We feel so lucky to live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. As you drive down the hill, city lights shine through the darkness but as you turn the corner, majestic oak trees line the street. Children's chatter can often be heard nearby as they ride their scooters on the sidewalk or play basketball with their friends. Two community playgrounds are within walking distance with swings and slides to play on. It's a quick drive to the local theme parks where we make memories together and keep fit throughout the year. Sometimes a quick getaway to the ocean is a treat where we can ride the waves or enjoy the sunshine. We are blessed to live in such a wonderful location!
