Hello! We are Bo and Kaity! Thank you for taking the time to read our story and get to know us a little better.

We met through an online dating app in December 2014 when Bo's out-of-town work assignment landed him in Kaity's hometown. What was supposed to be a quick, two-week temporary placement ended up being almost a year-long placement. We spent practically every day together for the next year until his contract was up and he was sent to another job site. We dated long-distance for about six months before Kaity packed up and moved to be closer to Bo. We were married in April of 2017 and have loved every part of being together since then.

We love going on adventures. Most of our vacations involve going camping or hiking. We love to explore new places and aim to visit all of Utah's State and National Parks.

We have always talked about expanding our family and love that we can do so through adoption. Even prior to marriage, we knew adoption was something that we wanted to pursue. We both believe that family is not just those who you share DNA with but those you choose to be a permanent part of your life.

What can I say about Kaity? She is one of the most hardworking and determined people I know. When we first met, she was working two jobs while going to college full-time. Everywhere she's worked, her customers and coworkers will tell you she's a dedicated worker who puts her all into everything she does.

She loves to laugh and has a quirky sense of humor. Even just thinking about her corny jokes makes me smile and shake my head. She loves spending time with her family and is always planning the next trip to visit them.

One of the things I love most about her is that she loves projects and learning new skills. She teaches herself to do new things or asks me to help with projects. It astounds me how many things she can do.

Kaity loves spending time outside with our three dogs, reading, and soaking up the sunshine.

Bo is the most caring, hard-working, "down for anything" guy I have ever met. He is the guy you call when you need help with a project or just want someone to talk to. He is fiercely loyal to those he cares about.

He loves projects and constantly pushes himself to develop new skills and try new things. When I told him I was going to buy a bookshelf for my nephew, he said "nah, I'll just build him one." In case you're wondering, it turned out great!) If he's not tinkering away in the garage, you can usually find him in the mountains. He loves the outdoors and spends every minute he can hunting and exploring everything this beautiful state offers. He has spent his life working outdoors in various capacities, including wildland firefighting and multiple construction jobs.

We live in a cute little home that was built in the early 1940s. We have spent countless hours remodeling it into the perfect place to raise our family and enjoy life together. One of our favorite past times is to sit out on our front porch and watch the sunset.

Our neighborhood is nestled close to the bank of a small creek. We love to walk our dogs down to one of the many nearby parks or take the quick five-minute drive to the mouth of the canyon. Everything from schools, the library, and the grocery store are within walking distance. We love having everything so close.

Our town is small, but it seems like there is always something to do. We love going to the local farmer's markets in the summer, and you definitely can't beat our rodeo! We live in such a beautiful area, so adventure is never far away.

Kaity grew up in a large family with what felt like countless aunts, uncles, and cousins. We only live a few hours away from family and love getting together with them for holidays and weekends. We do a big camping trip with extended family for a week in the mountains. It's so much fun to see everyone and spend time together. Get-togethers with the clan are always a little crazy and always full of laughter and good times.

Bo's parents live out of the country, but we try to plan trips together, and they fly in a few times a year to spend time with us. His mom loves joining in on Kaity's family camping trips with us. One of the highlights of our week is our weekly phone call with them. His extended family is a bit scattered around, but it just gives us the opportunity to see new places when we go visit them.

As you can probably tell, most of our hobbies are centered around the outdoors. We also both enjoy a good book, watching baseball, exploring new places, and spending time with loved ones.

SPRING: In the spring we love to get out and start hiking again. We have a big Easter egg hunt every year at Kaity's grandparent's house, and Kaity usually gets the honor of hiding the golden egg for the younger cousins. It's also the start of baseball season so we always try to catch a few games.

SUMMER: Summers are for camping and rodeos. From early May to October, we camp just about every other weekend. The weekends that we are home are spent attending local rodeos and going to the nearby reservoirs for kayaking and swimming with our dogs.

FALL: August marks the beginning of hunting season for us both. It's a great opportunity for us to gather with friends and spend quality time together. We set up all our camp trailers next to each other and enjoy good food, great friends, and the great outdoors together. Everyone brings their families, and we love watching all the kids play together.

WINTER: Kaity is not a big fan of the cold but loves baking in the winter. Our house is full of freshly baked bread and yummy desserts throughout the holiday season. Our Christmas present to each other every year is a trip to the NFR (National Finals Rodeo) in early December, which allows us to be more flexible with Christmas plans for our large blended family and celebrations with friends. Bo also enjoys ice fishing and competes in a huge tournament every year.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better. We are so excited about the opportunity to expand our family through adoption. We can't wait to begin this new adventure. We, with our families, look forward to giving your baby a safe home full of love, laughter, and adventure. We hope to give them every opportunity possible. They will always have someone there to support and encourage them, no matter where life takes them.

Regardless of how open you prefer the adoption to be, your baby will always know how much you love them. We know that this is not always an easy choice, and we hope you know that you will always have a place in our family.
