Home Sweet Home

We live in Whittier, California in a historic home with a big front porch and a sunny room that we can't wait to turn into our baby's nursery. Kristin can walk to work, and a trail two blocks away takes us into beautiful hills. All this is just minutes from Los Angeles!

Christmas at home with loved ones

We especially like that our area is ethnically diverse.

Fun Facts:

• We have twelve fruit trees in our yard and love making juice or baking from our harvest.
• We like to exercise together, jogging in the neighborhood or hiking a nearby trail.
• Kristin works on a college campus, where we take advantage of the educational and cultural programs offered.
