Stephanie is from Homewood, IL and moved to Naperville before high school. She graduated from North Central College and has continued her success in the professional world working for JIT Resources. Darren says she's the prettiest, most perfect woman. Her partner in crime, also pictured here is Baxter; an 8 year old English Bulldog. Baxter enjoys sleeping, snoring drooling and loving his mom. He initially wasn't too sure about his new family but has welcomed them with all the slobber and snuggles.
Darren is from Aurora, IL and graduated from the Illinois Institute of Art. He's made his way professionally utilizing his artistic skills in the IT world. As an artist, he has always loved love and isn't sure how he snagged such a foxy lady. His sidekick pictured here, Dr. Pepper, is a 5 year-old Chug. He has basically traveled everywhere with Darren and constantly thinks its time to play ball. Doc enjoys chasing Eva (the cat) and barking at any noise possible. He and Eva couldn't be happier about their new mom situation.

Our lives seemed to just dance around each other for 10 years… For 4 of those years we lived just down the street from one another. We shared a train ride to the city in 2012 when we both traveled the Union Pacific West line to work. We bumped into each other downtown St. Charles on a number of occasions. But time had a plan of it’s own. While both of us lived very full lives, we both knew we were missing everything we had been looking for. Darren moved to Chicago for a couple of years, and when he returned to the suburbs, he put together a plan… Stephanie didn’t know it yet, but she was the main character in that story.
