We met in 2011 through mutual friends, during our final year of college. After graduation John moved to the U.S. for work while Alex stayed in Canada. We maintained a long distance relationship for 2 years before John returned to Canada before eventually relocating to San Francisco together.
We are both fortunate to come from large families (Alex's very large) that are full of love and support.
Since moving to California 5 years ago we have taken advantage of the location and grown our love for travel. We try to take multiple trips per year and cannot wait to have a child to share the beauty of the world with.
In our free time we both love to cook and bake and can be found experimenting in the kitchen. Most of the time we end up with something delicious.
John and I spent the weekend at home watching movies in between FaceTime calls with each of our best friends back in Canada. We have been making our way though all of the Pixar movies (in chronological order) and watched Monsters University. Definitely not as good as Monsters Inc. Next on the list is Inside Out and we love that one!
John and I decided to take a walk during sunset to break up the time at home. Not until we were standing in awe of the beautiful sunset did I realize that it was New Year’s Eve (oops). I had a calm feeling watching the sun set on 2020. We spent the time going over our 2020, what things we had accomplished and what we hoped for in the next year. We reflected on our adoption journey thus far and wondered if 2021 will be the year we take the same walk but with a child. Every day and year is a blessing and we look forward to what 2021 has in store! Happy New Year to all!
