When I grew up I wanted to be a veterinarian.

I am really good at being silly.

I am terrible at singing.

My favorite quote is “There can be 100 people in a room, and 99 don’t believe in you, all you need is one person to believe in you. And for me that person was Bradley Cooper.” – Lady Gaga
Or
Aahhhaaahahhaha….wahaha…AAAHHHHAAAAAA!!! – Lady Gaga

I realized I was no longer cool when… I never cared.

When I grew up I wanted to be a doctor.

I am really good at math.

I am terrible at cleaning.

My favorite quote is “I had to sleep in bed with her, and if she got tired of the DVD she was watching, she would wake me up and make me get out of bed and change it.” – Lady Gaga’s personal assistant, suing her .

I realized I was no longer cool when… I never cared that he was no longer cool either .

OUR PETS

We have two wiener dogs: Abe and Alma. They both think they are big, tough guard dogs and don’t realize how short they are. They love going for walks, eating, but most of all sleeping.

OUR HOME

We live in the Houston Heights area in a house we bought back in 2015. We like walking around the neighborhood, and there is a park just across the street.

PARENTING PHILOSOPHY

We believe in providing a safe and open environment in which a child is able to feel comfortable expressing themselves, a safe space in which both success and failure are learning opportunities. We do not believe in corporal punishment, instead we believe in positive reinforcement and modeling good and appropriate behavior.

HOW WE MET

We met while in college, our first date was at Dave and Buster’s and just like the restaurant it has been nothing but eating and playing. Although it may not have been love at first sight, meeting for the first time is a moment in life we will never forget. We love and respect each other, we are both strong individuals who help each other become stronger.

WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO US

Family is having people in your life who you can trust and will always have your best interest in mind. A family is made up of people who love each other and help each other become the best person they can be. Families are not the same, each one is unique and special in their own way. Family provides a place for a person to express themselves and learn who they are and how they have the power to make positive changes in the world.
