We met each other 10 years ago while living in Montana and have been exploring the world together ever since. We are happiest when we're outside enjoying nature with our dogs Beano and Hammy, and can’t wait to add another member to our expedition team with whom to romp through forests, climb mountains, and canoe across lakes under the wide open sky. Our personalities complement each other perfectly, and we are each other's best friend in the world. There is nothing that we as a team can’t accomplish.

About Amy (by Chris)
I was first attracted to the beauty and sincerity of Amy’s smile, but it was
her intelligence, altruism, and sense of humor that I fell in love
with. I see every day the positive and nurturing effects she has on
the students with whom she works in her career as an educator and student advocate and with the children she assists as a volunteer for the juvenile court system. The depth of her concern for those who come to her for help is a constant
source of awe to me. And, though she might deny this, she is also one
of the most creative people I know. Whether it's her beautiful jewelry,
handmade greeting cards, or her clever little flower gardens, there's
no mistaking the special colorful touches inherent in her projects. Amy
is a truly selfless and giving soul who I am proud to call my wife and my best friend, and I can't imagine a better mother for our child.

About Chris (by Amy)
Life is always an adventure with my carefree husband Chris by my side. His
spontaneity and creativity allow him to view the world in a fun and
unique way. He is a man of many skills, from carpentry, cooking, and
photography to sailing and snowboarding. Generous with his talents and
time, he is well known in our family, circle of friends, and by our
neighbors for helping out with difficult projects or by photographing
special events and milestones. Most impressive is his caring and
patient nature, which makes him a favorite with his patients and the
nursing staff at the hospital. He will make an amazing father who will
always remember to slow down, enjoy the moment, and to go off the
beaten path whenever possible. I can picture him with Plaster of Paris
up to his elbows or paint from head to toe as he creates exciting and
messy art projects with our child.
