The Hough Family – A New Chapter

Hi everyone. Thanks for taking an interest in our family, and joining us in our adoption journey. Some of you already know us. For those that don’t, we wanted to make some introductions. We are the Hough family.

Josh and I started dating shortly after high school. We have been married for 15 years now. Josh attended the University of Florida where he received his degree in Civil Engineering. After graduating, we moved to Jacksonville, FL and have lived here for the past 11 years. We love it here. We love the city, the people, and our dear friends we have made here.

Josh is a Civil Engineer with the Haskell Company. Jenni is at home in anticipation of bringing home our sweet little girl from China in the next few months. Gabriella is 10 years old and in the 5th grade. Elianna is 8 years old and in the 3rd grade.

We love the Lord and are sold out to following Him. We believe that means abandoning ourselves to our plans, and following what He would have us do. That includes loving and serving Him, and loving and serving others. We truly believe He has called us to love above all else. Sure, there are other things He has called us to as well, but most of those fall into place when we are truly sold out to loving Him and loving others. We also believe that He has called us to love everyone. Everyone. Always. I think this is where a lot of Christians go wrong, but that is a conversation for a different day and a different blog post.   🙂

We have been called by Him specifically in this season of our lives to adopt.  A completely new way to be challenged to live out His love. So please, join us as we go on this new adventure He is calling us to. Thanks for being willing to come alongside us. We feel honored to have you here.
