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!"

Our newest little addition!


If you didn't read our last post, we had to put our cat, Leo, down because he was suffering from a disease. The following week, Nolan, our other cat, was struggling being alone during the day so we went to Four Paws Pet Adoption (the cat shelter nearby) to adopt a new kitty friend for Nolan.

We tried to go about it slowly, but we ended up finding our little girl quickly! On Monday, "Tink" caught our eye; she was so affectionate to us but we also saw her playful side. We also had another 2 kitties on our minds, too: Danny and Xavier.

On Wednesday, we went back to get to know the three cats better, but we ended up taking Tink home to foster for a few days to see how she got along with Nolan. The introduction was priceless! Tink completely ignored Nolan and went about finding her favorite spots. Every time the little girl passed our big boy, he would BOP her on the head and run away! He wasn't a fan of this new "friend" we found for him.

We considered taking Tink back to the shelter because she was stressing Nolan out so much, but we wanted to give it more than a day. After 2-3 days, they were playing together and the hissing was gone! Success!

We decided to keep the little girl and went to adopt her that Saturday. We renamed her Pepper, but we ended up mostly just calling her "the girl" or "little girl" (just like my in-laws' cat, Lily). We found a new friend for Nolie, and gave her a forever home!

Here are some pictures of our new little girl, Pepper, our big little boy, Nolan, as he stands watch, and some proof of their sweeter relationship:
