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!

Paddle boarding on December 29th, 2014

Did you say, "Paddle boarding on December 29th, 2014?" Yes, on Chautauqua Lake…. and only crazy daddy Brad and his friend Greg could do such a thing!  Remember how I mentioned we did not have a White Christmas this year?  Case in point, the last weekend of December it was in the high 50s…. and it felt ridiculously warm with the sunshine.  So warm that even I went running around the lake, we opened all the windows in the house to ventilate, and yes, Brad and Greg decided it would be wild if they could get to paddle board the lake one last time before it froze.  So, here you go!
