About Us
- Derek and Teri
- Teri and I were married October 9, 1993. We started our marriage in love and have since progressed, with a few bumps along the way, to something much better than either of us believed possible. We have a combined total of twelve kids and thirty grandkids. I am less than semi-retired, going into the office three or four days per week and Teri is a stay-at-home Mom of our dog Sophia. We love to travel with much of it for the purpose of seeing grandkids in British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, California, Michigan and of course Oregon. Oh, we also go to see their parents. We also love to cruise, finding it a great value for money spent. We recently gained a love for overseas travel having gone to Italy, Thailand and Morocco. Teri loves to crochet and knit and I love photography and writing. We live in Portland in a comfortable townhouse. Most of all we love family and we certainly have realized that grandkids are one of the many great blessings of having had kids.
