Civil War

Be honest, you totally clicked on this because it’s Valentine’s day and you thought I was being clever with my title and referring to a ‘civil war’ in my relationship. Sorry to disappoint! Today I’m writing about the actual Civil War. But I’m glad you’re here! As I mentioned in my blog, Shalom Family, while my mom and Papa Scott …

Shalom Family

The end of January was spent in the most amazing way here at Shalom Farm… After 17 days away from my immediate family, I had the great pleasure of flying home to Tennessee with my mom, Papa Scott, my sister, Uncle Chris, and my nephew- Baby Dylan. All my most favorite family people were united for the first time since …

Who says you can’t go home?

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 woes of moving

Most of you don’t realize this, but when Thomas left to take the uhaul across the country to our farm, he embarked on quite the adventure. He and his friend, also called Tom, ended up doing a three day trip in about 50 hours. It’s quite the story… check it out!

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! …
