Living Life on

OUr Terms

Marty and Jean are a happily married couple living in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota. This website is dedicated to sharing with you a little bit of who they are and what they do.

Originally this website was developed to share with family and friends their life after Marty's 2014 diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Knowing that to run away and hide would be the easiest solution to facing this disease, Marty and Jean decided the best way to face this change in their life is to live each day, one day at a time, celebrating the good and working through the not-so-good. Simply said, "Living life on our terms!"
