Our Family of Three...looking for more excitement in our lives
Daniel and I have been married for 11 1/2 years. We are both in our early 30's. We met when we were 8 and were friends growing up but didn't start dating until we were 19. I had just returned from my first year at BYU-Hawaii. After coming back to California for a few months I then left to Utah for school and we dated long distance until Daniel received his mission call. He served in Ecuador where he learned to speak Spanish and speaks fluently still to this day. I was attending college at BYU-Utah when he returned. We began dating again and were married within 4 months of him being home. We were married and sealed in the Bountiful temple January 2001. I finished college with a degree in Fitness and Wellness Management and did an internship in out-patient cardiac rehab. We then moved to California so Daniel could begin his schooling. He took the classes necessary and went through a fire academy. He currently works as a Firefighter/Paramedic/engineer with a local fire department. He loves his job. His job has also enabled me to stay at home after we had our first child in 2004. I love being a homemaker. It has been a huge blessing. We have a son, Cody, that is now 8 1/2 years old and full of life. He's a very loving boy but definitely loves to play and have fun. All of his cousins have siblings and he has asked us for a sibling for a long time now. We tried to get pregnant without any success and kind of gave up hope of having more children. It wasn't until recently we thought of adoption and here we are.
We live in a home we purchased 7 years ago, in a great neighborhood. Daniel comes from a family of 7 siblings, most living in Southern California so there are many cousins of all ages. I come from a family with 4 children. Myself and my sister live here in California and two brothers live in Utah. Love is not hard to find love in our family. We are very family oriented.
Right now Daniel is serving in the Young Mens as the first counselor and I am the Enrichment Leader. We know that if it's meant to be, we will find that special someone who will help us expand our family. We are open to discuss any topics that you find you need more information about. We are trying to adopt through LDS services but we can be contacted by email any time at calfamofthree@yahoo.com
This is Daniel in action on the job. He's a very ambitious man and a hard worker.
Cody is a fun loving 8 year old
He loves to ride his bike, skateboard, swim, play basketball, soccer, rock climb, and jump on our trampoline. He's excited for the day he will have a sibling. He's a sweet boy, but all boy.
He loves to go camping and ride quad runners.
We love going to the beach, going swimming in Grandma's pool, take bike rides, and just spend time together as a family.
Because of Daniel's schedule we have a lot of time to spend together.
We enjoy visiting our local museums and science centers where they have fun things to teach Cody.
We take frequent trips to Utah to visit family and enjoy going to Oregon to visit friends.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know our family.
