About Us
Our story began in 2009, under the South Texas sky, where our relationship took flight. Brian was a persistent, charming pilot and Ashley a soon-to-be nurse who quickly found their futures intertwined over coffee and endless conversation.
As Brian soared through his pilot training, our hearts embarked on a journey of their own, mastering the skies of long-distance love. The distance only deepened our bond, and in 2010, a leap of faith brought Ashley to Arkansas, closing the miles between us. Our love took flight, and in 2012 amidst the tropical whispers of Punta Cana, we promised forever to each other.
Our adventures have led us through the vibrant streets of Little Rock to the sparkling lights of Las Vegas, the lush vineyards of Napa, and the welcoming warmth of Houston. Each city a chapter in our shared journey, a story we hope to continue writing with an open heart and home for another.
Brian’s bond with our daughter is a testament to the love and guidance he offers as a father. Addison shares her dad’s passion for flight, and always gets very excited when we announce an upcoming family trip.
Ashley, the heart of our home, brings care and joy to every moment. Her nurturing touch ensures that laughter fills our days and each family memory is painted with perfection.
In our quiet moments, we find solace in each other’s company, whether we’re wrapped in the embrace of a good movie, the camaraderie of game night, or the excitement of planning our next family journey.
We are looking forward to growing our family through any of the following adoption opportunities:

Addison
We adopted Addison as a newborn in 2020 and she is the absolute joy of our lives! She is sweet, loving, funny, and smart. Addison loves ballet, tap dance, puzzles, crafts, and going to school to play with her friends.
ABOUT OUR HOME
We live in a 2 story 4-bedroom 3.5 bath home in a safe suburb that is zoned to fantastic schools. Our house has a designated playroom both upstairs and downstairs that is stocked with books and toys. There is a spare room across the hall from Addison's room that is ready to be transformed into a beautiful nursery. We love to play outside in our large backyard when the weather is nice. We especially enjoy blowing bubbles, jumping on the trampoline, and playing chase with our puppy. We have an extended back patio that's great for sidewalk chalk art, as well!
We have great sidewalks throughout our subdivision that are safe for going on long walks together. We love walking to the park to play on the playground and meet other sweet families with young kids. On our street there are many young children of all ages that are always playing together outside. We even get together twice yearly for Halloween and Easter parties and all the kids have a great time celebrating.
