Dogs or cats?

Both! We have an old mutt, Romeo and two kitties Oliver and Lucy Jo. Both of us grew up with lots of pets, so we LOVE animals and will most likely always have at least two running around the house.

-Jessica

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

No earhside kids. (We have three angel babies) But, we definitely hope to have more than one child in our home someday - so they can grow up having a sibling and experience that special relationship.

-Jessica

What is the best word to describe our family?

Welcoming

-Jessica

Do I have kids? How do they feel about a sibling?

I don't have kids...yet

-Glen

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

Optimistic and confident in making this decision for her child.

-Glen

My favorite place in the World is...

I don't know if I have a favorite, but I love the sound of water, so anything close to water makes me happy.

-Glen

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

I'm a Christian, and have always believed there is something bigger and greater watching over me. As I've continued in my spiritual walk, I have grown in my relationship with Jesus.

-Glen

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

For everyone to give more love and kindness to others. Life can be tough, but a little love and kindness go a long way and can make a big difference.

-Jessica

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

Truly at peace and comforted by her decision, and that she has accepted that her child is in a good, loving, and healthy home.

-Glen

I would never...

Eat kale, eggplant, or okra, unless stuck on an island.

-Glen

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

My Dad. When I was a kid he chose a constellation for our family, and we each got a star. He passed away when I was in highschool, so it's always been a comfort and makes me smile when I see our stars.

-Jessica

What scares you?

Big storms & big bugs. I think I'm still a kid in that way!

-Jessica

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

King crab or lobster.

-Glen

When we argue, what’s it about?

Finances. We have learned and grown a lot in our marriage in this area, and continue to grow on this area. We have made lots of improvement over the years and work together.

-Glen

My favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):

Google. Because I always want to figure things out.

-Glen

My best friend would describe me as...

Funny, smart, and patient.

-Glen

My philosophy on parenting is...

To lead and guide with love, create healthy boundaries that allow the child to safely grow and explore and become who God has created them to be. I believe that the home and parental role is one that will set the child up for long term success and will always be a safe, accepting place for them.

-Jessica

I would never...

Let the sun go down on any anger.

-Jessica

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

Be something we value, treasure, and respect. My hope is to love you well, and share updates with you, and make sure you receive updates as we mutually agree upon. I want us to be open and honest, always.

-Jessica

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Yes, I am a follower of Jesus and am active in my daily quite time in the Bible and also prayer. My faith has provided great comfort, strength, and joy all throughout my life and I am so thankful for it.

-Jessica

My best friend would describe me as...

Compassionate, kind, gentle, silly, creative, organized, a dreamer, silly/funny, strong, and sometimes stubborn (but I like to call it determination!)

-Jessica

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

Laughter. It's medicine for the heart and soul.

-Glen

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Sailboat. My happy place is the ocean or lake.

-Jessica

-Glen

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

I'm amazed. The beauty and detail is always impressive. Plus, I like to search for satellites, which is a always neat!

-Glen

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

It is a quiet, safe, and friendly community.

-Glen

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

Myself, with almost anything. I always try to better myself every time - with whatever I am doing.

-Glen

We are the best choice because…

We integrate being goofy and having fun as a life priority. It's so needed in this world, so we make it a staple of our relationship. We hope that this child will feel joy in their heart.

-Glen

My favorite website is (...not your Facebook page :)):

Probably Amazon. It's just so darn easy to get anything, anytime! Maybe too easy! I also love Pinterest - mainly for home decor/remodel inspo. I'm a sucker for a good DIY before & after.

-Jessica

My philosophy on parenting is...

To demonstrate love, compassion, patience, joy and be a mentor and teacher.

-Glen

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

This one is tough. But many people have said I resemble and sound/act like Anna Kendrick. So, I'll pick her!

-Jessica

Complete the sentence, “I can’t live without……”

My faith, coffee and tea, cozy blankets, furbaby snuggles, books, and of course my amazing Husband. :)

-Jessica

The most special thing I own is...

Our wedding photos. It was the best day!

-Glen

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

Games - board games, card games, yahtzee, bowling, mini-golf, charades, uno, scrabble, etc. I have no idea where it comes from or why, but I get really into it!

-Jessica

My favorite Instagram account is:

@morganharpernichols https://instagram.com/morganharpernichols I absolutely love inspiring lettering art, words, and quotes. I've been known to occasionally play around with my own on the Canva app for fun.

-Jessica

The most special thing I own is...

I have two! My wedding rings (they represent my marriage and my fave person) and my antique opal ring from my grandmother. It was originally a gift to her from my grandpa when they first married.

-Jessica

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

Jesus

-Jessica

What is the best word to describe our family?

Humorous!

-Glen

My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

It's a close-knit community full of kind, fun people. We have a community pool, rec-room with games, a garden, a dog park and it's a safe, gated neighborhood. We have such kind neighbors that look out for one another too which is such a blessing.

-Jessica

My favorite place in the World is...

Anywhere in nature with my husband. I know it sounds cliche, but being with him exploring is my favorite. We visit his family's cabin in the mountains of Arizona and try to go somewhere new at least twice a year, and I absolutely love it!

-Jessica

We are the best choice because…

We will treasure your child for the incredible, miraculous, selfless gift they are and honor the hard, brave decision this was... and will raise him/her to know they are worthy, unconditionally loved, forever chosen and accepted always.

-Jessica

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Sailboat. I love the water, the sounds, fishing, and seeing my wife in a cute bathing suit.

-Glen

Favorite season and why?

Fall. No question. Give me ALL the fall / holiday thinnngsss!

-Jessica

If I could change one thing about the World, it would be...

Honest discourse without fear or hate. I would improve the quality of communication between media outlets so that there is room for nuance to allow intellectual honesty. My hope would be for this to allow better understanding, despite all of our differences, and reduce all the tension from misinformation and disinformation.

-Glen

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

Sean Connery

-Glen

I hope our child’s birth mother is…

aware of what a beautiful, strong, selfless person you are who is worthy and so loved.

-Jessica

What scares you?

Debt (we are now debt free!), heights, and occasional feelings of stress or overwhelm.

-Glen

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

Do chocolate chip cookies count?

-Jessica

If I could have dinner with anyone—dead or alive—I would pick...

Jordan Peterson. He is one of the most honest, compassionate, and philanthropic speakers of our time.

-Glen

Dogs or cats?

Cats. They are way more interesting and hilarious.

-Glen

When we argue, what’s it about?

We aren't much for arguing, but we definitely challenge one another when it comes to the budget. Glen is naturally more of a saver, and I'm more of a spender. In the end, we balance one another out!

-Jessica

Favorite season and why?

Autumn. The weather breaks and the outside colors and temperature are amazing.
