Oh, sweet humble little cottage..... how we love thee. Thank you for being our temporary home while we waited for our new house. We are grateful for your shelter, security, a place where we could lay our heads down to rest. Thank you for giving our little boys the little space to play, and the tub they enjoyed bathing in together. We will always be fond of you in that woodsy, wood panel, creaky floors, "roughing it up a bit" kind of way! You were after all, the site for Brad's 40th celebration, and where our little Jax first started crawling!!! And let's not forget all the creative ways the boys had fun while we lived there! These gray storage bins were our laundry baskets we took to the laundromat!:
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!
