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!

The Fantastic Four


On the 23rd of August, Brad and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary.  We've been married now for 4 years, but together for almost NINE!  Our relationship and marriage has taken us on quite a journey!

We celebrated with our favorite Trio dish (salmon, filet, and pasta) at the Italian Fisherman.  One of the owners loves us so much that she always sends over a drink surprise at the end of our meal.  This time she surprised us with Limoncello and creme brûlée cheesecake, mmmmmm.

After dinner, we had a rockin' good time rocking on the front porch of the Lenhart, before walking back home :)



Brad,
I just want you to know that the first night we met, your French wooed me and you had me at "I'm smashed".   Here's to the Promise ring that has fulfilled every one of my wishes, and our break-ups and make-ups that taught us to appreciate one another!  Here's to that unforgettable ATV ride in Sonoma Wine Country, and our romantic hideaway in Ko Phi Phi Island, Thailand.   Here's to our California life, and now our New York life.  Here's to our two incredible boys.  Here's to YOU and ME, always and forever......
