We met each other when Diana was hired by a college to teach an online class on writing. Well, she’s a good teacher, but she knew nothing about computers! The college hired Scott to be her computer-trainer and they fell in love while working together.

Diana’s mother is American and her father is Jordanian, so they spent a lot of time in Jordan when Diana was growing up. In this picture, seven-year-old Diana and her four-year-old sister Suzy shared a burro ride in the Jordanian desert while one of the family’s friends looked on.

We travel nearly every year and are thrilled to think of the great adventures we could share with a child, showing him or her the wonders of the world and the beauties of all cultures. In this picture, Diana and her mom lounge in front of the gorgeous Dead Sea in Jordan. Scotty, Diana, and Diana’s parents all spent two weeks together traveling around Jordan, swimming, meeting people, relaxing, and seeing the sights. We had an incredible time!

The thing that I love about Diana the most is her adventurous spirit. She’s always up for anything. She doesn’t think twice about throwing a dinner party at the last minute for a dozen friends or going kayaking with me in the keys (though she’s a little afraid of the deep water.) She has an ability to find the beauty in any situation and keep a positive attitude. Her creative abilities are simply amazing. We both maintain a strong sense of individual identity, but I like to think of us as two sides to the same coin. I’ve taught her things like fly fishing and swimming and she’s taught me abut things like cooking and writing. She loves taking care of people and throwing parties and being with friends and family. She’s more than a wife to me, she’s also my partner and best friend.

Our lives are simple and full of fun: many of our friends are artists and writers like ourselves and we love to get together, eat and talk and eat some more!

We’re both adventurous, out-going, and fun-loving by nature. Scott got himself invited into the cockpit of this big jet-liner once when we were flying home from Germany.  He’s great at fixing, building, and making all sorts of things and he loves the idea of working side by side with a child, showing them how to fix engines, build chairs, or play the coolest computer games.

We always have a great time, where ever we travel and whoever we meet. Scott and Diana try to approach the world with open hearts and minds. We both love people—grownups and children alike. And we’re thrilled down to our toes by the thought of the rich and exciting world we can share with a new little person.
