Howdy! We're Paul and Lou. Both born and raised in one of the best in the Midwest: Nebraska. We love our home state!

Our relationship began long-distance June 4, 2013 – Paul in Fremont, Nebraska and Lou in Springfield, Missouri. A surprise proposal in 2014 and an elopement-style wedding less than five months later! We love dead preachers, black coffee, and SNOW!! Most importantly, we profess that Jesus is our only hope.

Just before our second wedding anniversary, we started this "family blog," VallaEP.com. After leading worship together at one of the churches we served, our friend jokingly asked, "So when's the Valla EP coming out?" All credit to you, Olivia! Check our photos for some special moments before we became parents.

This changed our lives. As did our precious babies, Etta Sophia, Tozer Micah & Levi Paul. We welcomed our first two almost a year apart, in late 2017 and early 2019. We hope at least one sentence here blesses you!!

An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or long play (LP). An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP.
