What Our Life is Like
Life with us is full of energy and affection, with creativity woven into everything we do. We both have big "art hearts", so we love spending time on house projects, playing music, and writing. We can't wait to nurture a child's creative spirit and watch their imagination take off.
Beyond our passion for art, we are an active couple who loves the outdoors. We hike, bike, camp, and stay fit at the gym. We're excited to share our love for nature and fitness.
Travel is another passion we plan to share with a future child. We believe in exposing a child to the world's beauty and diversity.
We want to create a home where a child feels safe, supported, and celebrated for their unique self. As a gay couple, we've learned the importance of feeling like you belong.
About Luke
(as written by Shane)
Luke is one of the most talented people I've ever known. From writing and filming to photography, his talents seem limitless. As a husband, he provides me with unconditional love and stability. He is incredibly supportive and I see it as one of his superpowers.
When I watch him play with our nieces and nephews, his joy and warmth totally shines through. It's easy to imagine what a great father he'll be. He's goofy, laughs hard and always spins us off on exciting new adventures.
Luke is a great leader. He has an incredible knack for motivating me and the people who work for him to do their best work. He's constantly reading, studying, and developing himself.
About Shane
(as written by Luke)
Being married to him is one of the greatest joys in my life. He has a sharp sense of humor and always makes me laugh.
One of my favorite things about Shane is his cooking. He makes these incredible meals, often incorporating his Korean and Chinese heritage to make them extra special.
He's also brilliant. He speaks 3 languages and has a thriving career as an architect.
I think what I love most about Shane is his boldness and bravery. When he sets his mind to something, he goes after it with full commitment and determination.
It's really amazing!
