Eliezer is the happiest of toddlers! Elzie LOVES playing with his cars and reading books. Elzie could play outside for hours if we let him, even longer if there is water involved! We are confident Elzie will love his new sibling so well!

We both went to college at Texas A&M University. Claire majored in mathematics and Jeffrey in Industrial Engineering. We both joined the Baptist Student Ministry our freshman year. In 2015 we were both Bible study leaders of different groups and slowly got to know each other over the year. We began dating and most of our dates consisted of studying, getting coffee and snacks, and taking breaks by driving around exploring our town. We got engaged October of our senior year (2017) while finishing school, applying to jobs, and student teaching. It was a wild year but God was oh so faithful in each moment. We graduated from college and three weeks later got married! We moved to McKinney on a whim – about 30 minutes from each set of parents – and fell in love with the city. We absolutely LOVE doing life together and getting to explore the DFW area!
A primary factor of who we are as a couple is quality time spent together! We find lots of joy in time spent together, or with community even in the mundane things. We are avid board game players, coffee shop visitors, and amateur food enthusiasts. Some of our favorite moments with friends and family have happened just on a couch in deep conversation or over a cup of coffee!
We have been so blessed to have friends who live close by and that we get to see often! They are our chosen family and who we get to do life with. Our community has comforted us and rejoiced with us and we hope to continue walking with them as we get older! We have found a lot of joy in prioritizing our community and growing it! They love Jesus and us so well!.
In 2023 we adopted our son, Eliezer, and are absolutely obsessed with parenthood. He is in full toddler mode which has been the sweetest season of our lives (even with the hard tantrum moments). We are so incredibly thankful for the way God has blessed us in our marriage and are very excited for the years to come. Parenting has definitely been our favorite adventure yet!!

One word that describes you: passionate
Fun facts:
– I love reading (Malcolm Gladwell and CS Lewis are some favorites)
– even more than reading, I love storytelling
– I enjoy woodworking in our garage
– I love to work with my hands and do home projects, for our home and our friends/family!
– I am a data analyst/visualization specialist, and love geeking out over cool ways information can be portrayed
We are so incredibly blessed to have supportive and present families and friends. We live on the same street as Claire’s parents and 30 minutes from Jeffrey’s. We live minutes away from our closest friends and we love that our kids are getting to grow up together. Our families have always been supportive of who we are and the choices we make, but they also provide counsel and help when we need it.
We are surrounded by couples who are in similar life stages as us that serve as sounding boards for us as we try new things. We are also so thankful for older couples who have kids and pour wisdom and advice into us as well. All of our people love the LORD so much and they love us incredibly well through life. Our friends really have become our chosen family, and that is the BEST!
All of our people love our son so deeply and are so excited to meet the child we bring home. We love where we live mostly because of the people we get to do life with!

We bought our house June 2024 and are so blessed to live in a small, quiet neighborhood right next to multiple parks and schools. Most evenings we can hear kids playing in the street and lots of neighbors are out for a walk! This is the home we pray our kids can grow up in – it is the perfect place for us to raise our family!
We live ten minutes from most of our friends, church, and all our favorite places. We have a backyard that we LOVE to play in and we love sitting on the porch to drink our coffee. We have four bedrooms and three baths for us and our future family! Jeffrey works upstairs where there are two additional bedrooms and a play area that we spend most of our family time in. We both hope to live in this area as long as we can and build roots in this community!
