Our names are Jim and Jennifer Wilson. Jim is currently 47 years old and Jennifer is 40 years old. We have two sons who we adopted three years ago. James is 17 and Jack is 12. Jim loves to have a good time and is always ready for a game. Video, cards, board or yard games, it is all the same to him. He is really into sports, especially hockey and football! Jennifer enjoys reading, scrapbooking, couponing, yard sales and bargain hunting. We have Disney passes and love to stop by a park at least a few times a month (if not weekly) for a few rides and a Mickey pretzel! We love to travel and want to see all the world has to offer! We love sharing this with our kids! We have already taken 2 cruises with our boys. Playing games, bowling, mini golf, doing puzzles, going to amusement parks, swimming, and going to hockey games and theater are some activities we enjoy doing together. Jim works full-time for CTDI as a Divisional Inventory Control Manager. Jennifer is a kindergarten teacher. We were both raised Catholic, but stopped attending church regularly as adults. We both have a strong faith in God, but are not fully sold on organized religion. If we adopt children who have strong ties to another denomination, we will be willing to oblige them and support anything they need to keep their faith. We feel that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and although our wish is to expose them to religion, we would not force it on anyone who did not want to go.
We both love hockey and are Carolina Hurricanes fans, so we try to make at least one trip to Raleigh, NC each year to watch a game in person. Jim is also a fan of the NY Mets, Boston Celtics and Seattle Seahawks. We both have a wide range of musical interests. Our taste in movies is much like our taste in music, it varies. We own most Disney movies and enjoy family movie nights. We also watch action, dramas and comedies. Time at home is spent engaging in our hobbies. We both enjoy watching TV, hockey games and movies. In the summer, we love to swim in our community pool.
We live in a gated community in central Florida. Our home is a single family home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. We live in a great community with a lot of kids of all ages and have some great neighbors. Our son has a cat named Shorty. We have a passion for travel! We love to see all that the world has to offer and love sharing this passion with our children. We also really enjoy going to the Disney parks (we have season passes), sporting events, holiday festivals, bowling, miniature golf, going to the theater, playing games, swimming, doing puzzles and spending time with family and friends.
There are community sports, martial arts, scouts, dance classes and musical activities that are available, depending what the child's interests are. The Orlando/Kissimmee area (20 minutes from us) has a varied cultural scene, in addition to Disney, we have museums, musical events, theater, festivals, farmers markets, sports, nature, etc. Basically there is something for everyone and we are happy to expose our kids to everything we can to help them grow and discover what their passions are. Even better, we live in the middle of several cruise ports and we love taking cruises as a family! We are only about a mile from the elementary school where Jennifer is a kindergarten teacher and there are some amazing teachers there.
