Dear Expectant Mother,
Our Life Together
We met over 14 years ago and quickly became inseparable. We have been fully committed to each other ever since. In 2013, we were married in a ceremony surrounded by family and friends. Our desire to raise a child and create family experiences/traditions is a dream that we have always shared.
We are an active couple who enjoy travel and experiencing new adventures together. We love kayaking, biking, snowmobiling, and hiking with our dog.
We also enjoy sports, games, and spending time with family and friends. People say that opposites attract, and this is certainly true for us. Where Matt is organized, structured, and always planning for the future, Justin is spontaneous, free spirited, and lives in the moment. While our personalities may differ, we complement each other in a way that makes us both better people and a stronger team.
Whether cooking dinner at home, planning for a trip with family, or tackling tasks around our house, we work with a common goal in mind. We have strong beliefs, values, faith, and morals. We value love, respect, and acceptance for all. We are actively involved in our work and community, and create strong relationships with those around us. We cherish our family and would do anything for them.
We are also hardworking and ambitious, and give everything we have in all that we do. Most importantly, we are each other’s best friend, constant support, and biggest fan. With us, your child would be loved, cared for, and cherished beyond words.

Meet Matt
I am 34 years old. I was born and raised in Upstate New York in a loving home with my three siblings and parents. I have an identical twin brother who I am very close with. Growing up, I enjoyed playing sports with my brothers, playing outside with the neighborhood kids, and spending vacations and holidays with my cousins.
After graduating from college, I became an elementary school teacher. I then received a graduate degree in educational technology, and I currently coach teachers on how to best integrate technology into the classroom. I consider myself to be organized, honest, responsible, driven, accepting, compassionate, and loving. I enjoy the outdoors… running, biking, kayaking, hiking, walking our dogs, gardening, and camping. I also enjoy drawing, painting, reading, and learning new things. Listening to music, cooking meals with Justin, and spending time with family, friends, and our dog are my other passions.
Meet Justin
I am 39 years old. I grew up in Wisconsin in a very active family; the youngest of three children. My family spent summers at our cabin, going on nature walks, swimming, boating, and fishing. We would roast marshmallows, sing, and play games before crashing into the bunks at night. We still continue these traditions and now share them with the next generation of nieces and nephews.
After completing my degree in elementary education, I decided to follow my passion for music. I spent eleven years singing and dancing for audiences in Branson, MO. I am now a kindergarten teacher and continue to share my love for singing and dancing with children. I am a contagiously optimistic person. I enjoy the simple things in life and treasure experiences more than material things. I love to laugh, sing, dance, and be silly. I also enjoy cooking, hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

Family

Family has always been a huge part of our lives, helping to shape us into the individuals that we are today. Our love and appreciation for family has not only been the foundation for our relationship, but drives our desire to build strong and lasting relationships with others.
We feel lucky to have amazing and supportive families, and we spend as much time as possible with them. We absolutely adore our nieces and nephews, and are seen as the fun and energetic uncles. We have four nieces (Lily, Tobi, Tessa, and Kinley) and three nephews (Khaya, Wyatt, and Logan). Both of our families are eager to welcome a new baby.
