Thank you for visiting our site! We are so excited to celebrate joining two families.

We met online. About 6 weeks later Bridgette (and her mom) drove from Alaska to Michigan preparing to move to Missouri for her next assignment. She drove through Omaha, which provided the opportunity for she and Martin to meet. They had dinner for their first date (with Bridgette' s mom)... and the rest is history!

Where are you from? Grand Island, NE What is your job? Large machine repair mechanic What are your hobbies? Fishing, playing baseball, playing guitar, watching Nebraska football, spending time with family (especially Quinn, Jocelyn and Stevie!) What is your favorite show? The Curse of Oak Island What is your best childhood memory? Fishing with his dad What is your dream vacation? Going to Disney with Bridgette and the girls When did you know you wanted to marry Bridgette? What is your favorite part of being a dad? Everything When did you become a Christian?

Where is she from? Perry, MI What is her job? Physical Therapist Will she stay in the Air Force? She is required to be in the Air Force until May 2021. She is trying to get transferred to Offutt, AFB in Omaha ASAP, but if she's not able to she will try switching to the Reserve or working at the VA. What are her hobbies? DIY home repairs, any type of crafting, watching Michigan football, spending time with Marty and the girls What is her favorite TV show? Outlander What is her dream vacation? A trip through Scotland and a road trip to anywhere with Marty and the girls What is her favorite childhood memory? Family vacations! Her favorite place is Manitoulin Island. When did she know she wanted to marry Marty? She realized after about 7 or 8 months when she'd spent time with him, his girls and extended family. She saw how much he loved his daughters and his family. This added to his kindness and patience, quirky sense of humor, hard work ethic, and his love for Jesus won her heart. When did she become a Christian? She was saved in high school. After spending years growing up in the church, she came to know Jesus and understand her need for Him in her life. She has had many ups and downs and struggles in her walk with God, but has known He is the foundation in her life.

We decided it would make the most sense for our family for Bridgette to go to Kunsan AB in South Korea for a year. She'll leave in June and return June 2020. This will allow Marty to stay in Omaha, close to the 3 girls, keep his job, and because she volunteered, Bridgette will be able to get a follow-on assignment to Offutt AFB in Omaha when she returns! It is bitter-sweet, but we see it as an adventure and an opportunity for many good things to come from this!
