LOVE. The story began nearly 18 years ago when James and Jennifer met in San Diego, where they grew up. They dated for four years and then married. Young and naïve, they had no idea what was in store for them and all the wonderful things they would learn along the way. ROOTED. They started their family journey and moved to Murrieta in 2004. They love the small town feel of this community.

JOYFUL. “We have fun, love each other, sacrifice, communicate and give grace to others,” James says. COMMITTED. When asked about how they keep their marriage fresh they reply, “We believe in date nights, forgive quickly, and make time for each other.” DEVOTED. The Trier’s are devoted to one another and to God. This shows in the way they treat each other, how they spend their time, and their commitment to giving.
FAMILY. Four years ago, the Trier Family was inspired to become a foster family to a child in need of a safe home. They welcomed a delightful, active three-year-old to the family and were able to complete the adoption process just a few months ago, officially making Truman a Trier. PLAYFUL. In their free time, the Trier family spends time together at the beach, swimming, and watching movies together. They also attend the kid’s athletic events including gymnastics and football. After all, a family that plays together stays together!
