Jeremy (nickname is JJ) grew up all over the United States. His father was in the Air Force, but he mainly claims Great Falls, Montana as his hometown. He is the second of four children in his family. JJ works at the Idaho National Laboratory as a computer technician. If it has anything to do with computers, he loves it. He also loves fishing, camping, hiking, and spending time with family.... wait.... he forgot to mention drinking root beer!! Shine thinks JJ is a very kind-hearted person and excited to watch him learn and grow as a father!
Sheyann (nickname is Shine or Shiney) grew up on a potato farm 30 miles outside of the nearest "town," in Taber. She moved pipe to irrigate crops, drove tractors, grain trucks, and potato trucks. Nothing was more rewarding than working year after year with her four siblings. Her nieces and nephews each hold a very special place in her heart. She loves the outdoors and wide open spaces. She also loves singing, playing the flute, guitar, and piano, and of course, building snowmen. Shine is a Registered Nurse, who has worked in an ER, extended care facility. She loves fixing and caring for people. Her favorite part of the shift is when she gets to tuck the patients in at night. Silly, but true. (Her favorite part is rocking Andy to sleep after his bathtime, bedtime story, and bedtime songs).
Andrew Justice came into our family via the miracle train! Andrew is truly our miracle-man. He is now 2 years old. His happy, sociable, intelligent, and bubbly personality keeps us on our toes and running after his next grand idea.... like re-decorating the bathroom with toilet paper. It was such a lovely shade of white too! When Andy is around his cousins, he loves to play cars, trucks, tractors, climbing on furniture, and give loves.... or just talk to them. Our happiest times are when we all wake up on weekend mornings and have family snuggle time in Daddy and Mommy's bed... then a big country breakfast.
We own our home in a small town in Idaho, close to most of our family. We've been married for five years. We love to laugh and have fun. We are LDS (Latter-day Saints or Mormon).
An interesting fact about our family: Sheyann has 18 adopted cousins total! Most of the cousins are from Haiti, two from Korea, one from India, and some from the United States. Adoption is very near and dear to our hearts, without it, more than half of Shine's family would be missing!!
After years of preparing and waiting for children, we decided our home, hearts, and our hands were just too empty and through the miracle and love of adoption, we were able to find our first child, Andrew (okay, he really and truly found US). However, we're finding he's such a social creature, he needs a sibling!
