We are a twenties-something couple living in the Kansas City metro area. We have been married since January 12th, 2008. Our hobbies include fixing up our sixty year old house, scuba diving, learning to sail (okay, just a small one person sail boat, but still…), aspiring to be on The Amazing Race, and eating yummy Chinese take-out while watching a good movie. Oh, yeah, and traveling!

Tyler
Tyler earned a degree in Film and Video Productions from Full Sail University in 2004. He works at a small video production company in Kansas City. For his job, he has had to travel to Boca Raton, Palm Springs, Canada, Las Vegas, New York City, Houston, and Denver. He has been able to meet Jay Leno, John Cleese, Cal Ripken Jr., and Gena Davis on some of his business trips. At his previous job at a news station, he was able to film former President Bush twice. Since we bought our house in June of 2008, Tyler has increased his knowledge of home improvement and likes to hunt during the autumn months and stay up late playing video games whenever Lauren goes to bed.
