Our Story

Photos

Wendy and Kirsten met in 2022. Ironically, Wendy interviewed Kirsten for a job not knowing that she was really interviewing her to find a life long best friend. Both are cat and Taylor Swift obsessed!

Wendy Staker

Maddy and Kirsten also met in 2022. They taught preschool together and immediately clicked. Maddy quickly became a bonus aunt to Maeleigh and Myles and even took a vacation with them!

Jacque is Kirsten’s sister-in-law. They both love reading and Harry Potter. Jacque painted (free handed) animals for Maeleigh’s nursery because her theme was Safari.  

Jacque McCleary

Kyra is Kirsten’s sister-in-law as well! They have also bonded over their love for reading. “Florence Y’all” quickly became an inside joke between the two of them—there’s never a dull moment when they’re together.

Registry

Since we live together, we already have so many items. Cash and gift cards (Lowes, Home Depot, Home Goods, TJ Max, etc) are also good gift ideas as it allows us to work on our house and add new items/rennovate!
