Stefanie loves the movie Pretty Woman. I’m lucky in that Jeremy treats me like a princess. I’m ready for him to focus some attention on a child.

Star Wars is Jeremy’s favorite movie. If we have a son he can’t wait to watch the movies and have light saber fights.

Jeremy loves cinnamon rolls. The ones with lots of icing are the best.

Stefanie loves watching the Real Houswives series. NY, NJ, Potomac and SLC are her favorites.

We love baseball. If the Nats are in town on a Sunday you can bet we are there. Jeremy loves watching any baseball game no matter who is playing.

Jeremy loves organ music. Whenever we visit a church he looks for the organ. We belong to our temple because they still play the organ at services.

Album: Ready, Set, Vacation

Jeremy’s parents live in Florida. Usually we stay with them, but also get in at least one beach day. On this trip we went and stayed on the beach so every day was a beach day.

We love traveling and taking walks. This is one of my favorite pictures as we got the beautiful sunset in the background. We were in a small town in Normandy, France.

On our annual ski trip we squeeze as much as we can in our friend's car and drive out to the mountains for a week of skiing. On this trip we were able to bring their dog as well to keep Stefanie company during the day.

For Jeremy it is a long few months between the last pitch of the World Series and the first pitch on opening day. So every March we take a trip to Florida to visit Jeremy’s parents and see a Spring training game.

We love biking on vacation. It is a great way to see the town. Once Stefanie got a bike that was too big for her. Luckily is was all downhill.

On our ski trips the skiers take a day off from skiing and we do something fun together . Here we went snow shoeing but we have also gone snowmobiling and dog sledding.

Stefanie had visited Venice in college and was excited to show Jeremy the city and see how it had changed. It was just as she remembered it and we had a great time exploring the small walkways of the city.

Cruising is one of our favorite vacations. This photo was at 11pm on our Norway cruise. We could not get over how light it was outside that late at night.

We had been in Seattle a few days and had run out of things to do, so Jeremy figured out how to take the public bus to this park. The light house was amazing.

With Hans Christian Anderson in Copenhagen. Stefanie lived in Copenhagen for six months during college so I was excited to show Jeremy one of her favorite cities in the world.

Jeremy in New York City in Central Park. Stefanie had always wanted to go on a row boat in Central Park and was glad Jeremy was willing to do all the rowing so I could enjoy the ride. Jeremy and Stefanie started dating shortly after this adventure.

Outside the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg Russia. We spent 2 days exploring the city with our own guide. The architecture is amazing and we were excited to learn about from a local guide.

Jeremy and the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are not sure if this is the inspiration for the Disney Character or not but we pretend it is.

We were in Cancun, Mexico for a friend’s wedding. We were getting in some pool time before the big day. It was January so we were excited to escape the cold weather at home.

Whistler Village during a ski trip. We love seeing the Village decorated for Christmas. We had just watched the New Year’s eve ski show.

Pike’s Peak in Colorado was amazing. We took a train up to the top and at the top we had the famous Pike’s Peak donuts. We love trying local specialties and who doesn’t love an excuse to eat a donut.

Walking on the rooftops in Stockholm, Sweden. It was cool to see the city from a different view & the kids on our tour wanted to do the walk again.

" Stefanie and Jeremy are a wonderful couple who will be wonderful parents. I have been friends with Stefanie for over 25 years and Jeremy for 20. Watching their friendship blossom into love was inspiring. They are a warm and loving couple - making their friends into family. My three children love Aunt Stefanie and Uncle Jeremy - they have been an important part of their lives, from them being part of their birthday parties to having sleepovers at their house. Stefanie and Jeremy make each of my children feel special and loved. They really listen to them and have fun with them! They have a wonderfully supportive relationship and I know they will be supportive loving parents. They also have a strong community to support them as they become parents and raise a family: their large network of close friends, their synagogue, and their families with whom they are both close. They are truly a special couple. "
