about us

We're from the Syracuse, NY, area and started dating when we went to BYU-Idaho for college. We were married December 2008 and have a daughter, Sophie. We will be welcoming a new baby in November 2013! We currently live in Mason, Ohio, near lots of family! Drew is working at Liberty Mutual Insurance as an Auto Claims Adjuster. Carissa is now a stay-at-home wife and momma! We know there's more in store for us in our future, and we say, "Come what may and love it!"

Theme Night Dinner

It was our last night in the house by ourselves, so we took advantage of it in a yummy way!  We decided to have a Chinese (Hong Kong) night!  Since Drew served a mission in Hong Kong for 2 years, he got to know the food pretty well.  One of the things he cooked for me while we were dating was a Chinese dish (there are versions from other countries as well) called Chicken Curry.  I mentioned doing some sort of dessert, and Drew came up with the idea of doing Egg Tarts, something Drew loved to get from the bakery in Hong Kong and Macau.  So we multi-tasked and made our tarts while our curry melded together.

(Cooking, baking, having a great time!)

(Eating our delicious Curry creation)

(Our Egg Tarts turned out perfectly and Drew was so excited about them since he hadn't had them since he was halfway around the world!)

We had a really great time making food together - we make a great team!  While we were cooking, we listened to Hong Kong radio online.  Since theme night was so last minute, we didn't get a chance to get a Chinese movie, so we watch a documentary called "Young at Heart".  It was cute!  We were thinking we could do this Hong Kong theme night again once the movie "Push" is on DVD and watch that as our end-of-night movie (the whole movie takes place in Hong Kong and is a really awesome movie)!  We had the best experience doing this together, and we're definitely looking forward to more theme nights!

You guys are SO cute! You're giving us old married-forever fogies new ideas - I love the grown-up Easter egg hunt idea (We are SO going to do that next year!) and the Theme Night idea. Hmmm, what kind of food would go with Lord of the Rings?!?
