I'm Janelle Tribetz and I'm Lissa Tribetz.

Janelle Tribetz, she works at a nonprofit now.

She's got eight-year-old Isla and five-year-old Mari.

And Lissa Tribetz, who works for this large tech company, she has three-year-old Luca and she's expecting her second.

So both of them, when they were young, they moved to different parts of the country, first for college, then for work, New York, D.C., California.

But in their 40s, they both individually decided to become single moms.

And then they moved back home to Denver.

They're really close to their parents, so of course they move back home for family support.

And the two of them, they too are very close.

They're constantly finishing each other's sentences.

And the thing they talked about is how this experience meant they could share.

All the beautiful milestones that come from raising a child, like that first step, the first words, the big things, the silly things.

You know, Alyssa, TriBets kept saying it was like having more people to bear witness to those moments.

Initially, they thought they'd live close together, you know, close to each other.

You know, but Janelle Tribetz, she's the older sister.

She had this wish, like she really wanted them to find homes right next to each other.

Meaning, even if the baby's asleep, they would be free to visit each other because they have the baby monitor.

And their story affected everybody.

Their realtor, their mortgage banker.

And so when a property came up that had two homes in one property, everyone was rooting for them.
