Christine & John

We are a fun-loving couple who live in Clinton, NY with our two dogs, Gussy and Doodle.

Our home is filled with laughter. Most nights, after dinner, you can find us doubled-over laughing at silly inside jokes while we're cleaning the kitchen.

We love to walk our dogs through the small village where we live. Ever seen 'Gilmore Girls'? Most people say our village reminds them of a real-life Stars Hollow!

In the summer, Christine belongs to a local country club that has a small lake where she loves to swim. The club's beach house caters to kids with daily activities and swimming lessons.

In the evening, John loves to start a fire in the backyard fire pit and listen to music while the dogs play in their fenced-in area.

We love to travel. We have a favorite spot in Maine that we visit 2 or 3 times a year. We're also working on seeing all 50 states with only 6 left to go. Road trips are life!

Christine is a college professor who teaches all of her courses online so she is home most days while John works for a local telecommunications company. We were both working there nearly 20 years ago when we met and haven't been apart since!

Currently, Christine is also working on a PhD in Literacy and John is on the board of a local leadership organization.

Our friends describe us as "ambitious", "kind", and "funny". We love to hang out with friends, many of whom have kids, and we are lucky to also have close-knit families. One of Christine's cousins is expecting a baby right now and we're looking forward to raising our kids together, just like we were.

We're not perfect, no one is. John has a tendency to be messy, Christine has a tendency to get stressed about the mess. But we love each other, we have an awesome support system, we live in a wonderful community, we're healthy and happy, and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky!
