Strengthening Friendships


This past weekend, our family had the wonderful opportunity to gather with dear friends at the annual pumpkin patch event at Sterino Farms in Puyallup, WA. Hosted by our friends Brad Harper and Peter Lopez, it was a day filled with laughter, connection, and the kind of joy that only comes from being surrounded by good people in a beautiful setting.


Brad and Peter are such accomplished men, and we are so grateful to know them. Brad, a highly successful realtor and talented concert photographer, and Peter, an exceptional mortgage lender, bring so much heart to everything they do. We recently had the pleasure of working with Peter on a refinance for our home, and his communication and dedication throughout the process were nothing short of extraordinary. His care and professionalism were so impressive that we are confident we’ve found a mortgage lender for life!


Together, Brad and Peter host a fantastic series on the American Dream Network, where they highlight amazing local businesses and wonderful places to live in the Puget Sound area. Their episode on Sterino Farms is a must-watch, showcasing this beautiful local gem and the community that makes it special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-aGsALKLoM


We’ve always loved festive gatherings, and this pumpkin patch event was no exception. There’s something so magical about being outdoors, enjoying the fresh autumn air, and soaking in the holiday spirit. From the hayrides to pumpkin picking and navigating the epic corn maze, it was a day full of fun for everyone. Seeing the kids light up with excitement brought us so much joy, reminding us how important these simple moments are as we head into the holiday season.


We live our lives surrounding our family with positive people, and Brad and Peter are absolutely amazing examples of that. Their kindness, integrity, and passion for what they do inspire us, and we feel blessed to know them. In a world that often feels consumed by technology, it was a gift to step away from our screens and share in the beauty of the season, the warmth of friendship, and the happiness of creating lasting memories. We can't wait to do it again next year!
