Keenan & Samantha

Quality Time Together - We prioritize presence over perfection and experiences over things. Whether we’re hiking to a mountain view, cooking dinner, or tackling a home project, we genuinely enjoy spending time together. We believe strong relationships are built in both the little everyday moments and the big adventures, and we make space for both.

Hospitality as a Way of Life - Our door (and fridge) is always open. We love filling our home with laughter, conversation, and way too much food. Whether it’s a neighborhood barbeque, game night with visiting family, or a casual dinner with friends, we enjoy creating a welcoming environment where people feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Keep Growing, Keep Going - We challenge ourselves to learn, grow, and work hard. We believe in curiosity, perseverance, and trying new things. From learning new skills in the workshop or the kitchen to choosing experiences that stretch us, we are excited to build our family and provide an environment where constructive growth is encouraged.

Our home is where our life together began, and we pray it's the place our family will grow as well.

Our home is our sanctuary - comfortable, safe, and filled with warmth. Tucked in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by trees, it feels like a retreat from the hustle and bustle of the world. With five bedrooms, a large kitchen perfect for family meals, and a beautiful backyard ideal for playing kickball or roasting marshmallows, there’s plenty of space to grow a family. Whether it's Keenan smoking meats on the Big Green Egg while Samantha prepares homemade sides and desserts, or cozying up by the large fireplace in our living room with homemade candles glowing in the winter, our home is a place where love, laughter, and conversation are always present.

Family is important to us, and we make a point to visit both sides every year –Georgia for Samantha’s family, and Florida for Keenan’s dad and stepmom (who Samantha lovingly calls “Mom #2”). We recently went on a cruise with them and have another visit planned this summer. We’re excited to one day include our children in all those meaningful family moments.

We also have three crazy kitties that add so much joy and love to our lives and our home. Chloe is the alpha female. Kate and Zoe were adopted at four months old, and fit right in. Chloe is our little greeter, no matter if we’ve been gone all day or just out in the garden for 20 minutes. Kate is Keenan’s girl through and through. She is a bit more independent and likes to sleep at Keenan’s feet. Zoe thinks she’s a tiny human. She sits in the kitchen chairs, carefully watching whatever you’re doing. She stays up late with Samantha while she cans or wraps things up in the kitchen, only heading to bed once mom does-usually settling in at her feet or in her special nook.

(In Keenan’s Words) “There are so many reasons to love Samantha, including the fact that she makes me a better man. She’s helped me grow in ways I never expected, and I’m so grateful for the person I’ve become with her by my side. I admire her passion for gardening and growing food that nourishes us, and the way she puts love into everything she does. When Samantha sets her mind to something, she follows through with heart and determination. Samantha has always had a way with kids. She is a deeply caring wife, and I know she’ll be an incredible mama–gentle, supportive, and naturally nurturing. She is my light and my world. I cannot wait to step into the next stage of our life together.” ~ Keenan

(In Samantha’s Words) “Keenan is my best friend and the first person I want to talk to, whether the news is good or bad. He loves with his whole heart and goes out of his way to care for his loved ones. He’s incredibly patient and consistently shows up with comfort and understanding. He’s also amazing with kids; he’s so patient, takes the time to include and teach. I know Keenan will be an amazing dad!” ~Samantha
