ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Jen. My husband Keven, 12yo son Kelle, and 11yo daughter Merre, have finished our first time backpacking through Europe together, and have just returned to the U.S.

We're pretty laid back and good humored. We're honest and love good conversation. I don't think we're experts on any one thing, but know some about a variety of things.

I love to have fun and laugh til my jaws ache. Art is my heart. I love to help and share. I love strong coffee (milk and sugar). I'm passionate about everything I do, and believe there's a way to do everything.

Keven is funny, compassionate, sincere, a great listener, and makes goofball expressions...alot! He's genuine, has a huge heart and a great outlook on life.

Our kids are are good kids and they behave themselves.

Kelle is curious, compassionate, giving, and loves to help.

Merre is thoughtful, adventurous, and is always willing to lend a hand.

We'd love meeting new people, learning about different ways of life and seeing life through new eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

Tomorrow is promised to no one, so we try to appreciate what we have and do all we can while we have the opportunity. We want to really live life and help our kids to see there's more to life than what they see everyday.
