Meet Pete and Jody from Upstate New York

Both are avid mariners and met seven years ago at a yacht club on the Hudson River. The two struck up a conversation about life and quickly learned that they shared quite a bit in common. Ironically, they had both just lost their spouses to cancer. They said, “When you have such a hard hit in life, you wonder if you can ever recover- especially when you are older. You have to realize that just because one chapter ends it does not mean that your story ends. It becomes the beginning of a new chapter.” They each owned their own homes and had their independent lives. A little over a year ago, they decided it was time to let go of what they had acquired through their previous marriages and their past lives, and start a new life together, married, in a new place, and in a new home. They like to keep things simple. Jody’s favorite thing about Pete is his gorgeous blue eyes that she can get lost in and Pete’s favorite thing about Jody is that she makes loving easy. The one thing they want to tell the world is, “Don’t ever stop dreaming.” Thank you for visiting!
