About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get ready for child number 2!

ABOUT ME

We've been married for almost 6 years and are are few years out of college too. Our first few years of marriage has been a roller coaster which has taken us to 21 countries. Maybe--just maybe--we now know what we're going to do with our lives now.
Elissa, a Phychology major, works at the youth center on base. She has thoughts of a photography business (maybe someday) and has taken some classes on the subject.
Jonathan wanted to teach Ancient Greek and Ancient Hebrew, but now found a job with the US Navy, even though he got his degree in business administration. He is currently a submariner working with Electrical and Nuclear Engineering.

We hosted as soon as we got back from Europe. But since we started a family we've taken it a little easier.
