Waiting Families

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"A sailboat, or any boat in general. My family grew up with a boat and being "on the water" is where I feel the most at peace. During the summer, we actually lived on our boat and "sailed" from one marina to the next in the New York and New England area where we were able to see many different towns and boating communities. The sea air is freeing and calming. From a young age, my parents have instilled the importance of boating and water safety. Swimming and boating lessons were a necessity if we were to be on the water as a family. Being on the water isn't just an activity, it is an experience and to this day, brings me so much excitement. I also love boating because I know that this is an activity that Jackie also loves, as her family has generations of fisherman. Although we do not have a boat now, we hope to carry on our families boating traditions. We still enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and just sitting at the beach, enjoying the sun and waves." - Caroline

Favorite season and why?

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

"RV - I'd love to roam and visit more national parks!" - Meghan

My best friend would describe me as...

"Perceptive. I like to notice what people are good at and remind them at times when they need encouragement and support." - Audrey

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

"We have five children between the ages nine and two. They pray every day that we will "find the baby we are supposed to adopt". They talk about this child as though they are already apart of our family. He or she will be so lucky having so many siblings to grow close to and bond with. They will never be lonely or bored. They'll always have someone to play with or lean on for support for the rest of their lives." - Becca

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

"bike training. When riding outside on the road, I am happy to go at a leisurely pace. However, on my indoor bike trainer, even when I tell myself "this will just be a recovery ride," I go far too hard and am always racing for faster speeds." - Alex

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

"People would be more accepting of others." - Alyssa

Dogs or cats?

"Dogs! Bob and I have two rescue pups, Murphy and Ralph, who bring so much joy to our lives. Their love is so pure, and there's something deeply humbling about being the recipient of such boundless loyalty and affection. What I love most is how intuitive they can be. Always ready to offer comfort and snuggles when we need it most, our dogs never fail to brighten even the toughest of days." - Sam
