Outdoorsy Family With Room for Another Adventurer
Hi there!
Thank you for taking the time to read our profile. While it's hard to fit all the important information about us in a few paragraphs, we will do our best to provide enough information to paint a picture of our family's values, hobbies, and day-to-day happenings so you can see if they are in line with your own priorities.
We are currently a family of three humans - Seth, Bethany, and our son Everett - and our pup Charlie. We strive to maintain a healthy, simple, balanced life with a "work hard, play hard" mentality. While we both love our jobs, our family comes first, and we prioritize spending time with the people we love. We are warm, open, extroverted folks who love people and being in community. As a family, we love making memories outside; we spend many weekends taking our camper to explore new places. We also do a lot of hiking, biking, skiing, and backpacking. Since our extended family lives out of state (Michigan and Georgia) we spend time traveling to see them as well; a large chunk of our summers are spent at lakefront houses in Michigan.
We own a home in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah. The neighborhood we live in is quiet and safe with friendly neighbors. Our home has 4 beds and 4 baths, plus a playroom and a large backyard with plenty of room to play, complete with a swingset (and a bike riding area in the works.) We absolutely love where we live due to being so close to the mountains.
Finally, the most important thing to our family is our faith. We are non-denominational Christians, and our faith is the center of our lives. For us, being a Christian means resting in the knowledge that we are fully known and fully loved by God, as well as following Jesus's teachings of loving and serving others, giving generously, pursuing peace and reconciliation, forgiving those who've wronged us, and seeking forgiveness of those we've wronged. We also fully acknowledge that the Christian church has, in both past and present times, caused harm and pain. We are committed to living out a faith that honors people's experiences and recognizes the inherent worth, value, and dignity of every human being.
We would love to add another child to our family to share all that we've mentioned above. Thank you for your time! Feel free to read on for a few more details about us.
