More About Us

HOME AND FAMILY:

We live in Albany, Indiana.  Albany is a small town about 15 miles from Muncie, Indiana, which features Ball State University, a fantastic Children's Museum, and Prarie Creek Reservoir.  Albany is a great place to raise a family.  It is a safe, close-knit community where we all look out for each other.  We have a spacious home with a large yard that is the gathering place for the neighborhood. 
We are very close to our extended families.  Most of Craig's family lives within a few blocks of us.  We both come from large families and enjoy the chaos that accompanies large gatherings, like birthday parties and 4th of July picnics.  We like the security that a large, close family has.  With large families, reliable baby-sitters are never hard to find.


FAMILY FUN:

We love to spend time together.  It could be an outing to a car show, a trip to the grocery or a bike ride to the park.  We also enjoy our family vacation to Jill's Dad's house located in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.  We spend the week boating, tubing and swimming at the lake.  There are afternoons spent hiking through the mountains exploring nature.  A trip is not complete without a visit to Dollywood Theme Park. That is Alex's favorite part!  Every day ends with a Rootbeer Float with Grandpa!   We also enjoy going to Craig's parent's cottage at the lakes in Northern Indiana.  The most important part is just being together and having fun!  The whole family is eagerly waiting for a new baby to dote on and spoil!

We regularly attend church at Spiceland Friends Meeting.  Jill's family has attended there since the church was founded in the early 1800's.  We are involved in the daily life of the church.  Living our lives according to God's ways is important to our family.  It instills life skills of sharing, caring, love and respect.  

EDUCATION:

We met at Ball State University while we were both finishing up our Bachelor's Degrees.  Education is a priority in our family.  We will stress to our children to always do their best.  We have personally seen the rewards of a good education, and we know the world of opportunities that an education can open up for our children.
