Jeff & Lindsay

Hi!

A little about us 🙂

Jeff:
I am currently enlisted in the Navy and have had a highly successful career, including three deployments and an overseas tour. In 2022, I was selected to Chief Petty Officer and I am fortunate to be in a position in my career that will keep me home for the foreseeable future. While on active duty, I earned my degree in International Politics from Penn State University.

I have a passion for sports, avidly following my favorite teams. Go Braves and Steelers! I grew up playing baseball and continued into my late 20s. I was a volunteer coach for a Little League team and absolutely loved that experience. I can’t wait to coach again. I love golf and seize every opportunity to play. I enjoy painting and being creative and often have a home project to work on that challenges my skills and experience. I’m excited for parenthood and look forward to the opportunity to teach and guide my future child towards becoming the best version of themselves.

Lindsay:
I work in marketing and social media for a health food company and practice interior design on the side. I specialize in residential remodeling, utilizing my interior design degree from San Diego State. I recently earned my paralegal certificate in hopes of joining a firm specializing in civil rights and social justice. I am also a huge animal lover and advocate.

I love books and dedicate time to reading each morning and night. I can’t wait to read to our future child and open their imagination to the wonderful world of literature! I love to cook and bake and I take pride in making nutritious and ever-changing dinner menus weekly. I enjoy anything that encourages creativity, from crafts, to home projects, and organizing. I have a beautiful vision for our child’s bedroom and am beyond excited to start this project. I look forward to watching our child grow and sharing my creative passions.

Snapshot of my life and family:
We like to joke that Jeff moved in on our second date, but really it wasn’t much longer after that.
We got engaged 2 years after we met and married the following year. Twelve years later, we are still inseparable and each other’s favorite person.

We consistently evolve and learn through our shared experiences and we compliment each other’s strengths and weaknesses in a way that makes us better individuals and a stronger couple. We are supportive of each other’s choices and aspirations, confront difficult challenges as a team, and are each other’s biggest advocates.

In the evenings and weekends, we take walks around the neighborhood with our eighteen-year-old dog and love to venture out in town to explore some of our favorite neighborhoods. We play pickleball, often host family for dinners, and enjoy playing board games with each other, family, and friends. We love to travel, explore different places, and learn about other cultures. We’re constantly looking forward to our next trip, and we try to make sure
there’s at least one vacation in the works.
Fertility story:
We have struggled with infertility for eight years. We have gone through many rounds of failed IUIs, two rounds of failed IVF egg retrievals, and three losses. We are excited to start a family, and know that embryo donation is right for us!
