Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us.
We are Jimmie & Keri and currently live in beautiful Colorado. Our house sits on 43 acres and while we have four dogs, we have a lot of wildlife that visit including elk, deer, rabbits, chipmunks’ that like to torment our dogs, and of course occasional free roaming cows.
Jim & I had our first date in April of 2006 and when they say you just know – I finally understood what that meant. I knew he was the one for me. Our wedding did not turn out quite as planned – we were hoping to get married in Galveston (where I, Keri grew up) and had a full family caravan headed south from Colorado and as we hit Texas, Hurricane Ike had other plans for us. Our wedding turned into a road trip and thankfully our family was up to the task and went right along with us. We hit five states in two weeks and have a ton of fun memories.
Jim was in the army for 8 years and now is a welder by trade, and while he currently welds big machines he is also testing the water on his creative side with metal art. I have been in sales for the past 15 years and I am also getting in touch with my creative side with pursing my passion of photography.
Jim has two children from his first marriage, Shianne his daughter is 14 and Stevin his son is 11 and they live close by as does all of Jim’s family. His two younger brothers, nephews, nieces & parents all live in town within 10 minutes of us. We spend weekends having family cookouts, competitive card games like Uno, going camping, riding four wheelers, snowboarding or just having dinner and watching a movie.
My family lives in Texas, I have three younger brothers, a step sister and two step brothers’ two nephews and one niece, lots of cousins with kids along with and my parents. We have a family lake house that I grew up going to and learning how to ski, fish and canoe. My parents have a pool and we have determined that Shianne and Stevin should have gills. Between the lake, beach and pools it makes sense that most of travels are to the ocean to scuba dive. Our first dive trip was to Belize where Jim proposed to me and we look forward to getting the children certified to join us, my stepdad is a rescue diver and somehow always ends up on our trips =)
We have four furry family members as well, Cedar & Cobalt are our Labradors and we have Juju & Zoey who are our Chihuahua’s and all of them join us on our weekends camping, road trips and even our rides on the four wheelers. They bring a lot of smiles and kisses to the household.
Both of our families are extremely supportive of our decision to adopt and look forward to becoming grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and most of all Stevin and Shianne are looking forward to being “the big” brother & sister.
Thank you for considering us for the most amazing gift of adoption. We are praying and look forward to hearing from you!
Jim & Keri
