Although we were born in the often-joked-about lands of Canada {Caitlin} and West Virginia {Adam}, we grew up in a suburb of Houston, Texas. We met in high school marching band at fifteen and have been inseparable ever since.
For college, Caitlin decided on the University of Pittsburgh. Adam joined her there after he graduated from high school a year later. Caitlin studied history and Adam studied math. We also have minors in French and got to spend an unforgettable semester abroad in Provence.
As we approached five years together, dating started to get real old. Adam proposed in October 2009 and we decided to do something crazy - get married in college. Our July 2010 wedding and honeymoon to Mexico were absolutely perfect.
Caitlin graduated from Pitt in April 2011. She worked as a nanny and tutor until our daughter, Claire, arrived in March 2012 and Adam graduated in April 2012.
Later that summer, we moved to Seattle for Adam's new job. We welcomed our second daughter, Maggie, in October 2013. We moved out of our two-bedroom apartment into a lovely rental home in March 2014.
And in February of 2016, we welcomed our third daughter, Betsy. Adam works as a software developer and Caitlin is blessed to stay at home with the girls.
Oh, and we're Catholic!
