We met in 2002 and have been together ever since.  One of the reasons we’re so close is that we have so much in common: We both love to cook and travel.  We both like movies, but can’t handle overly scary or overly sad movies. One of the most important things we have in common is that we love kids. Long kids, short kids, big kids, small. We love kids at every age--even when diapers need changing or a toddler temper-tantrum flares up. We’ve had the chance to spend time with a lot of kids in our families, and we’ve had so much fun watching them grow up, go to school, get new friends and develop surprising interests.
