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

for more people to truly know Jesus. For me, to know Jesus, is to know unconditional love, forgiveness and true peace.

-Liz

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

It's so quiet and homey. Everyone is nice and there is lots of other younger families.

-John

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

No kids, unless a special situation presents itself to adopt two at once, we only intent to have one child, and to give them the world.

-Liz

When we argue, what’s it about?

John buying another Anthony Richardson football card! :)

-Liz

At the Mariners game!!

My favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):

I love Reddit. I get so much information and opinions on there that I love to read about.

-John

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

God and my husband.

-Liz

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

the culture is very family friendly, children are outside riding bikes with their neighborhood friends, going to the near by parks, waiting for the ice cream truck to drive by, or Santa Clause to make his annual trip through our development.

-Liz

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

One type is hard, I guess.. had to pick it would be Mexican food, but I really love french toast and pancakes... thats a hard one. John makes the best french toast, when we were first dating, he would make it every Saturday.

-Liz

What scares you?

The unknown really scares me. I feel like doing things that I don't know about with what happens next, helps keep me grounded in life.

-John

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

be exactly how they want the relationship to be.

-Liz

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

I consider myself religious

We can't wait to celebrate all of the holidays with the little one, so until then Miso fills in

The most special thing I own is...

My great-grandmother's rosary. I can't wait to tell my child all about their amzaing great-great grandma Kitty and pass down the roasary that has been in our family for generations.

-Liz

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

An RV for sure! I have always wanted to travel around the USA and see all of the sights.

-Liz

The most special thing I own is...

My sport cards that I have recently begun to collect. It reminds me of my childhood.

-John

Favorite season and why?

I love the fall the most. I enjoy it getting a little cooler and the fall colors.

-John

Dogs or cats?

If I had to pick, it would be Dogs! We have the best dog, Miso, an Englsih Cream Golden Retriever. He is so loving and fun. His favorite game is hide and go seek with John.

-Liz

My favorite place in the World is...

my Mom's house.

-Liz

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

at peace knowing, that she has given her baby a life with every opportunity imaginable.

-Liz

Liz's Mom and Dad walking her down the isle. It was a magical day.

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

My Grandpa Pat! He was the best overall human I have even known. He taught all of his kids and Grandkids the importance of preserverance and intergrity. After he past on his 12 grandkids got together to share memories, and it came out that almost all of us, truly believe he was thier favorite. I strive to be like him everyday.

-Liz

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

I love to stare into the stars and think about the universe and what is out there.
