I love sunshine and anything about the beach and at the beach (sometimes I feel like I'm the lost Californian being the only Oregonian in my family).
I love sports and don't get to play nearly as much as I would love to. Tennis, soccer, basketball, rollerblading, zumba, kick boxing - you name it, I'll play! I so enjoy sports and how being an athlete helped shape who I am today.
I have a big big big passion for helping others who are less fortunate. I learned at a young age that we should not only take care of our family but take care of each other as a community. Whether it's ringing bells around the holidays, serving meals, clearing 100 things out of our home to give to others or just volunteering my time - I'm always willing to do so. Send me an invite to do an activity and I'll definitely come along!
Other things I enjoy.. chai lattes, yellow, 80 degree days, decorating our home, organizing, animals, wearing red nail polish, fresh blankets from the dryer, board games, cookies (never met one I didn't like!), church, french toast, hoodies, laughing, reading and of course my husband.

I was raised in Southern Oregon and at the age of 23 I moved to Portland, searching for a new life and my own way. It took a little while, but I (eventually) met my wonderful wife, have 2 wee kitties and really have never had it any better.
I enjoy working with my hands and really taking time and care to make interesting things. During High School that meant taking 2 classes of wood shop per term (Mr Welburn is still a favorite of mine), now since I rarely have access to those tools I rely on my work in print production to satisfy that drive. At home, a favorite thing of mine to do is cook new and interesting dishes for us to try (I have to watch the spice for the sake of my lovely spouse though). I would love to get into baking more bread though at some point! Our Church-life is a great part of our lives now too (something not ten years ago I would be surprised at saying). At times it is wonderful, at times it is challenging, and it is always worth it.
In the future I look forward to watching our lives grow together. Where ever it takes us, as long as we are together.

Hi! Shelby rescued me back in October 2007. Someone found me in a box with my kittens outside a Fred Meyer and took us to a foster placement. Then on Oct. 1 I met Shelby through my kennel gate and immediately reached my paw out to her. She looked like someone who would love and spoil me. At night time I sneak up on the bed when Shelby and Travis are sleeping and sometimes try to sleep in between them. I really like it when they nuzzle me and I will press my forehead to yours if I really love you. I love looking outside and sitting on the deck but get very scared by dogs and birds and occasionally my brother.

Hey there! Travis met me back in March 2006 when I was a newborn kitten. After I was born I was the first out of my siblings to start dragging myself around by my front paws, even though I could not see yet! Travis rescued me and took me on my first big adventure when I was a few months old. We went from Medford to Portland! Wow - what a difference! I'm super furry, soft and could knead on your tummy for a long time. I think I'm quite the gymnast and can jump almost as high as Shelby is tall. I love sleeping in the laundry baskets and on fresh towels. Sometimes I think that I'm a bird and try to sit on Travis's shoulder. I love playing chase in our home with my sister. I also really love sitting on Shelby's shoes.
