About Us

The Two of Us

We met and fell in love 8 years ago while learning ballroom dance (Neil stole Carolie's name tag one night at class...or so he says). We still love dancing, especially swing, and continue to take lessons. Our favorite times together are making dinner and taking long walks. Both provide us with a quiet time to unwind and talk. Each year, we get involved in the Sunday school program at church. This year we are teaching the Kindergarten and 1st grade class (19 kids). In the past, we have directed the children's musicals. We love music and plays.

There are a lot of activities we enjoy together but we also take turns doing things that only one of us likes. We feel that we are equal partners in life yet unique individuals. We make sure that we share things like housework, and running errands. We both love animals and have two cats. We'd have more pets if Toby and Cooper (our cats) would allow it.


Neil and I love children and would like to have several. We believe children are unique and can teach you things you didn't know or had forgotten. The quiet times that we enjoy now will become family times where we can talk with our child and play with them. We look forward to watching our child develop interests of its own and will be supportive of whatever path they choose. We look forward to creating memories with our child, like fishing or ice skating, or going to the beach with a stop at the Dairy Queen on the way home. The Grandpa and Grandma's look forward to taking them to the zoo and going on the rides, or to the state fair to see the animals.
