our story

It all began on the evening of Nov 29th 2003, at former Chat Noir French Restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA. Brad approached me [Jana] and we instantly connected; it was love at first sight. The next 4 years that followed were a whirlwind of romance, growing pains, and adventures. We circled the globe, traveling to South America, Europe, and Asia. Then one night, Brad surprised me with a romantic beachside proposal. We made it official on August 23rd 2008 with an intimate wedding at a hip art gallery in Laguna Beach. A year later we finished redesigning our home in the beach village of Corona del Mar.

On May 18th, 2010, we were blessed with a sweet little miracle of our own, our baby boy Taj Leon. He stole our hearts and took our breath away! Then, 19 months later, his incredible little brother, Jax Franz, arrived on Christmas morning (December 25th) 2011. What an amazing gift we received! In an effort to slow down the clock and enjoy our beautiful family, in Spring of 2012, we sold our CA seaside home and moved across the country to our dream lake house in Brad's hometown of Bemus Point, a resort village on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York! Even though we are living a more slow paced life, we are living a life far from ordinary!

From the West Coast to the East Coast, our Grover family adventures continue! So won't you come along and join us on this journey of love, family, and travel we like to call our La Vida Grover!

Happy New Year 2010!!!!


Goodbye 2009, HELLO 2010!! We rang in the new year desert style with good friends Jamie & Greg (whose baby boy arrives in April) at the Rancho Las Palmas resort, Palm Springs.






On New Years Eve, we had a celebratory dinner at the ultra swanky Riviera resort, and us preggo gals were super proud of ourselves for staying awake past midnight!!



While the guys played golf, the girls were pampered with maternity massages at the spa. We dined out every night and toasted to Babies and Jamie & Greg's new house!!!We also celebrated finding out our baby's gender and my 20th week pregnancy anniversary. Can you believe I am halfway through our pregnancy?!!! Time sure flies, I'm only gonna get bigger from here on out! Our baby has been a true angel, making his mommy feel great and this past wknd we felt stronger kicks that nearly knocked mommy out of her seat!! :)
