Wow! It has been a wonderful first year. We are so grateful for our amazing God, each other, our family, our church, our friends, our home, our neighbors, and our crazy city. It’s been a year of learning, a year of resting, a year of loving, and a year of gratitude. We are full of expectation and excitement—not just for the future, but even for the “right now.” Here’s to many more!
We’ve been learning how to love one another well, how to receive love, how to enjoy daily life together, and how to build Godly habits as a couple. We love our home here in Washington Heights, Manhattan, and have had so much fun truly making it our home.
We’ve especially loved inviting people into our home. Everyone who comes feels comfortable and blessed, and we are continually reminded that we get to minister God’s love and care together, as a couple, in ways we couldn’t on our own.
We look forward to a lifetime of serving God side by side and inviting people into our very normal, everyday lives.

We LOVE hosting people in our home—Now as a couple, it's one of our biggest joys. We have learned that our friends and guests are so blessed and ministered to being here. From connect groups to personal hang outs, it's so fun to allow people we care about into our daily lives.
