I (Jordan) grew up in a small town in Indiana, where I spent countless hours kicking a soccer ball around, fueled by the unwavering support of my amazing parents and my older sister. They instilled in me the values of hard work, kindness, and the joy of learning. Sundays were our family’s special ritual: we’d start with a joyful church service, swing by to grab some delicious donuts for breakfast, and gather around the dinner table in the evening to share our week’s highlights and low points. Those dinners taught me the importance of respect and listening, nurturing a deep sense of empathy that I cherish today. Fast forward to now, at 34, I’m an engineer in renewable energy, and I couldn’t be happier! I get to work on exciting projects across the globe with diverse teams, all aimed at making the world a brighter place. I’m passionate about leaving a better planet for future generations. In my downtime, you’ll find me whipping up tasty meals, tending to my garden, staying active, hanging out with friends, playing with my dogs, or unwinding with a good movie. Looking back on my journey, I feel so thankful for every experience that has shaped me, from the laughter-filled family gatherings to the lessons learned through loss. Each moment has contributed to who I am today, and I strive to embody the kindness and compassion my parents taught me. I eagerly anticipate the adventures that await, especially with Jackie by my side and dreams of starting a family on the horizon—the best is truly yet to come!

I (Jackie) was born and raised in Houston, TX, until I ventured to Louisiana State University for college. After graduating, I returned to Houston to pursue my career and have been here ever since. Today, I’m 33, and am a passionate marketing professional leading a global team. Creativity fuels my soul and I love to use my hands to create something, whether I’m crafting or transforming spaces through remodeling projects. I love to travel, exploring new cultures and cuisines, with a special affinity for France. My friendships are incredibly important to me, I believe our friends are the family we choose, and that love is stronger than blood. Outside of work, I enjoy volunteering and embracing the joy of giving back to my community. I stay busy being part of the Parade committee for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and teaching a free weekly CPR class. Ultimately, I strive to live a life filled with love, laughter, and meaningful experiences. Life is an adventure, and I am so ready to embrace our next adventure of growing our family!

We have known each other for over 15 years. Since we met in college, we have gone through so many life adventures together. It’s hard to imagine not having each other for support. Through all these triumphs and setbacks, each of us have been there for the other to support, guide, learn, and most importantly love the other. We have remained true to our vowels to each other: to love each other fiercely at all costs, and that we promise to make each other independently better by being together. We are a rather motivated couple to experience all that life has to offer through the Lord, friendships, life experiences, travel, and work, however it is all these attributes that make us.
