Two loving and fun dads-to-be… eager to become three!

Like so many 21st century couples we met virtually. From that first date there was an unquestionable chemistry, but what really sealed the deal was Mark’s dog, Hope, who decided she was in love with John and Mark had to keep him.
Fast forward a year, we decided to move in together, but not just move in together like normal people, we decided to buy an apartment and completely renovate it… ourselves! Knowing we could count on our friends and family from across the country to lend a hand, we pretended we were on HGTV.

November 2015 we proposed to each other on the same day! How, you ask? John decided he was going to propose to Mark over Thanksgiving weekend. Mark decided it was the perfect time for him to propose to John. As John planned his flashmob proposal at our local park, our friends and family started secretly steering Mark to end his scavenger hunt proposal for John at the same park on the same day. It worked! As John finished the scavenger hunt, he got the big question, and then dropped the big question on Mark.
Now, five years later, we couldn't be more excited for the next big chapter in our lives—growing our family through private adoption.
