And now a little bit about me and our family’s story. I am Victoria… nice to meet you.

Matt and I were married in 2003. We were lovers. We were missionaries. He sold cars. I did investment banking. We lived in Seattle where we enjoyed Zoka’s, the Matador, an amazing condo in the city and early morning walks to the farmers market.

A few years and babies later we now live in San Diego where Matt is working hard to complete his Masters of Divinity. I am an event stylist and mother to our incredibly sweet twin toddlers who are affectionately referred to here as Dude & Chica. To read more about them, visit our family blog.

I love to coordinate and design events. There is a piece of the goodness of eternity that I find through the beauty of design.
