Family stats- we are a Jesus-centered, adoptive (& trans-racial) family with three daughters 18-months apart. We value kindness, forgiveness, and maintaining healthy boundaries and life margin so that our relationships can thrive. (psst. this is our “unique statement” that we’ll be teaching on)
Passions- Dan: waffle ball, Frisbee golf, coffee Elise: wearing a tool belt
Pet peeves- Dan: people who call me during the day on the phone will driving in the car, with nothing but time to talk. Elise: Dan going through a buffet line.
Secret shames- Dan: my feet. Ugly, ugly dawgs. Elise: never envisioned herself being a pastor’s spouse. A doctor’s spouse, perhaps, but not a pastor’s.
Book that you love- Dan: anything by Mark Buchanan. Elise: Hunger Games. (Okay, Beth Moore too).
“Can’t live without” or “Favorite Things” - unfortunately we’re fans of “A Good Wife”…we can’t condone it, we just can’t stop watching it. We love the cracked pepper pistachio nuts from Costco. We love simple spring evenings on our back deck. We love it when our girls are down. We love Peet’s coffee, carefully pressed. We love to roadtrip. We love bread.
Favorite room in your house- family room.
Favorite tradition- something you do personally or with your family and does not have to be related to a holiday We love to ask “highs and lows” at the dinner table.
