Aside from DIY, the couple enjoys music, food, family, friends, and some good ol’ physical activity, including road cycling, running, hiking, fishing, swimming, and more! Oh yeah... and they were lucky enough to get on DIY Network’s House Crashers!  These DIYers are busy, frugal, and dream big! Come join for some budget-friendly DIY and a healthy dose of newlywed craziness!
