Our Family

We are so blessed to have the love and support from both of our families!
We are lucky that both of our families are close by. Darlene's parents live about 10 minutes away and her brother and his family live in Tennessee. We love our family road trips to Tennessee and back and have just about every exit memorized at this point! We have a 10 year old Nephew, Andrew, in Tenessee that we love more than anything! He spends the summer with us and Darlene's parents each year. We just have a blast with him. John's mother lives about 30 minutes away and his sister about 45 minutes away. We are both very involved in our families lives, we talk and/or see each other pretty much every day. We are a close knit bunch.

We love to celebrate everything big in our house!
Every birthday, anniversary, holiday we love it all. Darlene likes to decorate inside and outside the home and has bins in the basement for every single holiday. She loves our home to be fun and festive! Big family meals are our speciality and we love to entertain.
