Happy Valentine's Month!!!
“Love is what turns a house into a home and neighbors into family.”
Phil & Marlene Celebrating 25 Married Years in Porto last July
February is our favorite month to celebrate love in all its forms—family, friendship, community, and the stories that connect us. In this LOVE Issue of Stroll Silverleaf & DC Ranch, we’re honored to spotlight neighbors whose lives reflect commitment, resilience, and the joy of building something meaningful together.
Our featured Meet Your Neighbors, the Pla family, beautifully embodies that spirit. Philip and Loubna’s love story spans continents and careers, beginning with a chance meeting in Tampa more than 23 years ago and continuing through life chapters in Lebanon, Boston, the Pacific Northwest, and now DC Ranch. Along the way, they’ve built not only successful professional lives in dentistry and business, but also a close-knit family centered around their three sons—Ian, Alec, and Lance—each pursuing their own passions.
This February issue is filled with inspiring stories that reflect the many ways love shows up in our community—from marriages and parenthood to friendships, service, and following lifelong dreams.
As always, we are deeply grateful to our sponsors and partners whose continued support makes it possible to share these meaningful stories each month.
Wishing you a February filled with love, gratitude, and moments that bring you closer to those who matter most.
xo,
– Marlene and Phil Johnson
