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!

May Flowers! Bemus is Blooming & First Time Golfing!

April rain and apparently snow showers too, bring May flowers!  We love dandelions around here!  Dandelion fields, and dandelion wreaths!  The boys don't mind being my "daughters" from time to time! Ha!

The dock is in…. the warm sun and summer temps…. the green nature…… Summer is calling!

The rosy pink sunsets

This is what this mama enjoys the most at home…. lounging on a chair with a good book and coffee in hand, watching my two pip-squeaks playing their hearts out on the playground….. on a warm and sunny day.  Look at all our green nature!!!  Feeling very grateful.

The new Stone Outdoor Living Center in Bemus that our friend opened and showcases gorgeous stone and fireplaces.  Reminds us of the Southern Tier Brewery.
