The adventure continues…

Don’t you just hate when spiders make you think they can think? I opened the front door the other night, and a huge black spider darted away from the welcome mat as if he was trying to sneak in and he had been caught red handed! He made it to the grass before I could kill him, but I almost …

Life on the farm

It feels like 2938 days since I last blogged, but surely that can’t be true. The days seem to just come and go here, and we are absolutely constantly working. Like I’m not sure when the last time I took a shower was. I mean, what’s the point? I’m currently sitting at my beautiful new farm table- the only furniture …

I’m coming home

Readers… we’re almost there. I can’t even believe it myself. We’ve hit 10 of the 50 states in the last 3 weeks on this crazy journey together, and as we’re literally coming to our final destination in a few short hours, I’m struck with ALL the feels. One, without question, is gratitude. Thank you Lord. Man, we have been so …

The last of Nevada

Saying goodbye is never easy. But it’s especially difficult when you’ve chosen it. Packing up and leaving the place that I’ve called home for my entire life- 33 years- it’s challenging. There are mixed emotions to say the least. And honestly, as I’m closing in on the end of our road trip, and the beginning of my ‘new life’ on …

Family Matters

Readers, I’ve missed you. I hope you’ve missed us. It’s been four whole days! But we’ve been busy as ever doing a whole lot of not a lot with family. But when you’re with family, it all feels very busy and very exhausting, right? In the best way, of course! You’ll find us today where you left us last time, Rockford, Illinois. …

If you haven’t been following along, I’ll give you fair warning, this might be a strange place to start. But come on along whoever and wherever you are! We’re on the 9th day of our 20 day move from Northern Nevada to Summertwon …

On the road again

We left my in law’s house right around 1pm yesterday to head into the wild blue yonder of our future. I couldn’t bare leaving before I went to small group one more time, so although my husband thought he was doing me a favor by waiting around so that I could attend, I think it ended up being a blessing …

Shalom Awaits…

I woke up on our last day living in Nevada filled with peace. I can’t say that I haven’t been peaceful about this move, but the closer we got to it, the more anxious I was becoming. Not because I think it’s the wrong thing. There hasn’t ever, at any point, been doubt. And not because of the obnoxious process …

I’m moving on…

I’m moving on… At last I can see Life has been patiently waiting for me And I know, there’s no guarantee but I’m not alone. There comes a time in everyone’s life Where all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days Are gone… Rascal Flatts… you guys get it! …

Packing…

It’s been absolutely crazy around here as we condense 4300 square feet into what will be ONE Uhaul load across the country to Tennessee. It’s emotional, it’s exciting, it’s freeing, it’s stressful, it’s all the things. On the one hand, it’s been really wonderful to purge a lot of things that I don’t need to have in my life anymore. …
