Our Story!
We met at a single’s ward activity in Utah. (Reed likes to say that Jyll was stalking him for several months before they actually met. Jyll’s version doesn’t include anything like that!) We formally met at a party and were inseparable from then on. We love to work on projects and cook together. When we were married for about six months, we started traveling around the world. We have been to England, Mexico, Ireland, France, Scotland, Canada and Italy. After returning from traveling, we moved across the country to live in New York. Living back East made it possible for us to keep traveling a bit. Everything is close together and Reed was working for an airline, so we could still travel on our tight budget. We lived in New York for 2 years while we went to school. This is when Jyll went to Dental Hygiene School. It was a great experience. Our siblings are all very close and spend a lot of time together. It felt like we were missing out on a lot of significant events by living so far away. We wanted to live near our siblings and their kids again. After graduation we moved back to Utah and Reed started school again. Reed will be graduating from Brigham Young University in Photography and Computer Graphics.
We have now been married for 4 years and are very excited to watch our little family grow. We, like everyone, have had our share of ups and downs. Together, we have learned how to overcome and rise above. We understand that God has a distinct plan for us and we are excited to watch our path unfold with you in it.
Jyll loves children and wants to be a mother more than anything. She has such a strong desire to be a mother and to be able to take care of her children. Jyll was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and this is why we have chosen to adopt. We have prayed about this decision a lot. We want to be sure that our children are placed in the best circumstances possible. This way Jyll can stay in good health and be able to raise her children and run and play with them like she has always dreamed of doing. One of her favorite things is taking our nieces and nephews out on “dates”.
Reed is the sweetest guy. He is constantly helping someone move or helping a sibling build something or volunteering to watch someone’s kids while the parents go on a date. You will often find Reed off playing with all of the kids while the adults play games. He is everyone’s favorite uncle! Our siblings joke that their children can say, “Reed” before they can say, “mom” or “dad”. He is going to be the cutest, loving dad!
We are so excited to meet you. You are always in our prayers,Reed and Jyll
