Gary and Brenda Palmer come from small beginnings.

Together they are writing a new story.

Brenda is a dentist and Gary is a physician. They both run their own practices.

Brenda reads when she gets a chance and Gary enjoys cycling and noodling on the guitar.

Renee is their oldest and loves painting, soccer, pets and school.

Nick and Aj are twins and love sports, video games and jumping on the trampoline.

(Did I mention they have one in their living room?)

The Palmer’s someday dreams include traveling the world and houseboat vacations.

The kids want to be science teachers, professional athletes, firefighters and engineers.

College isn’t too far off and retirement is nearing the bend, but mostly the Palmers are dreaming for today.

To enjoy the time they have together.

To make memories by eating fondue, sitting around a fire and watching movies on the couch.

To build unbreakable bonds while throwing the ball and walking the dogs.

 Like most parents, Gary and Brenda want want their kids to be happy.

But more than happy, they want their children to be themselves.

Because Gary and Brenda believe happiness is not found in what they do,

or in how much they acquire.

It’s found in who they are and how they live.

Humble. Hard-working. Grateful.
