HI THERE!

We are Brittni and Taylor: a fun-loving, travel-seeking, nerdy couple doing life in the Twin Cities. Words cannot describe how honored we are that you’ve taken the time to get to know us! Please know that you are incredibly loved no matter what decision you make regarding your baby. We hope this gives you a small glimpse at our life and that you find some connection to us. We can’t wait to become parents and to grow our relationship with you as the years go on!

All our love,

Brittni and Taylor

Our Story

We met in 2010 on a scavenger hunt at the University of St. Thomas during the first week of college. We started dating two months later! Fast forward to 2015, Taylor brought things full circle and proposed after a beautiful scavenger hunt at a state park. We got married in May of 2016 and moved to Boston three days later so Brittni could go to nursing school! We loved Boston but moved back to Minnesota to be near family as we now start a family of our own.

Work + Play (Mostly Play)

Brittni is a cancer and infection prevention nurse at the University of Minnesota.

Taylor is an Automation’s Engineer for Target by trade, but his degree and passion is in Robotics Engineering (we told you we were nerds). He uses his home 3D printer to create and design all sorts of trinkets.

We are both fortunate to have very flexible work schedules and prioritize family and travel above all! In our free time, we love to travel the world, camp, hike, surf, ski, play board games and spend time outdoors.

Our love for Harry Potter cannot go without mention! Our cat’s name is Minerva McGonagall, and we love to dress the animals up for Harry Potter photo shoots!

Fun fact: We went to London for our honeymoon to see the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play, and we got to meet the cast afterward! Voldemort signed our Playbill!

Meet Our Pets

Douglas (Doug for short) got his namesake from the Disney movie Up! He is a sweet and goofy six year old Collie/Corgi mix. He loves squirrels, and the voice we give him sounds just like Dug from Up.

Minerva AKA Minnie was a gift from Brittni to Taylor for Christmas! She was named after Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. She is a cute and cuddly kitty that loves to play with us and her brother Douglas!

Home Sweet Home

We live in a quaint and diverse neighborhood in Mounds View, Minnesota with our beloved dog Douglas and cat Minerva. Our yard is an oasis of botanics—something new blooms every season! Our neighborhood is a close-knit community. The neighborhood children run from one yard to the next climbing tree houses, riding bikes and playing at the park down the street. We can’t wait to add baby to the mix!

Celebrations and Traditions

We love a good celebration! Whether it’s going all out with Halloween costumes (see pictures below!) or programming a Christmas lights show to music for the entire neighborhood, we believe that celebrations are the foundation to long-lasting memories!

In Our House:

We believe Black Lives Matter.

We fight for social justice.

We advocate for others.

We love and treat all humans with respect.

We take care of nature and all creatures.
