My parents have been married for 37 years. Though they have had their fair share (and more) of ups and downs, they have always stayed very serious about remaining faithful to the vows they made to each other, keeping them together to this day.
Because they couldn't have children, I was adopted into their home at just 4 months old. My sister was adopted as part of the family 5 years later.
My dad is recently retired from the Boy Scouts Of America - Great Salt Lake Council, where he worked in a career as a district executive for over 20 years. Before that, he'd been a carpenter for a cabinet building company.
Mom is an elementary teacher and currently teaches 6th grade. She is also an artist and loves to teach art. She used to be an incredibly talented painter, and hopes to one day be able to paint in a studio of her own again.

Jared's mother Margaret was a single mom, and he was an only child. He grew up in his grandmother's home where he lived with his mom, until she met and married Layne, just 9 months before Jared and I got married.
Layne has 3 kids from a previous marriage.
He works on base at Hill Air Force Base as an accountant, and also is a tax professional for H&R Block.
