Introductions | Reece's Rainbow

Hello!

I'm Callie and I'm married to Mark. Let me just start by saying that Mark is the most amazing person in the world. I love being married to him, which I have been fortunate to have been for the last 8 years, 6 months, and 4 days. He is funny, smart, hard working, the best travel partner, and will make the BEST dad. Just so you know.

Let me tell you a bit about us. We got married in 2007 while we were in college at Utah Valley University. I graduated in 2009 with a Bachelors degree in Deaf Studies (I'm an ASL interpreter) and Mark graduated in 2010 with a Bachelors degree in Integrated studies focusing on Psychology and Biology. After graduation is when life really began :) We spent a semester in mainland China teaching English to children, which was one of our most favorite/best/most fun things we have done to date. We got to travel quite a bit within China and grew to love the culture, people, and country.

When we got back from China we both started working full time. Mark works at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and has now been there for over 5 years. He started as a cute little management trainee and worked his way up to a management assistant, assistant manager, and branch manager before his promotion to the business rental department. He now works as a business to business sales executive, and loves it! I started interpreting, primarily in education settings for Deaf students and now work for Sorenson Communications as a Video Relay Interpreter. That means I interpret phone calls for Deaf individuals using a Video Phone (think Skype or FaceTime).



We love to travel! China was my first time out of the country and it definitely ignited a lifelong love of travel for us. We have taken trips together to Australia, England, France, Switzerland, Italy, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Iceland. Somewhere in there we also bought a house! We have become the masters of home projects and love to tackle them together.

We are excited to be getting some traction on our adoption journey and are looking forward to sharing the joys, frustrations, mundane tasks, and overall excitedness as we grow our family through adoption!
