Visiting the Littles
In June, I went up to Iowa for a quick weekend to see all my Littles. Sarah didn’t have a regular baby shower, but a “Pregger Kegger”. Bring diapers/wipes and enjoy time with family. I loved being able to see Jason and Sarah, and of course, Riley. I brought up some cases of diapers and…

Disney Kids: May 2024
The adult kids are coming to town – what should we do?? Go to Disney, of course! When the kids started planning to come down for the Parentals anniversary party, Sarah really wanted to make sure they got to visit Disney because Johnathon had never been and is a huge Star Wars fan. So, we…

50 Years and Counting
My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this past May. While I know it hasn’t been a perfect marriage, I am proud they stuck through the hard times, learned to (and are still learning) to compromise, learned to (and are still learning) to communicate, and most of all they kept close to Jesus. A three-cord…

Easter Celebration
We are really liking our little community of campers and tiny homes, and spending the holiday celebrating with everyone here just solidified those feelings. The owners decided to have a potluck the Saturday prior to Easter, and said they would supply the protein. Considering they are both trained chefs, I thought that was a banner…

Food is My Love Language: Week 1 – Burgers

Epic Fail?
I failed at retirement. I have come to the conclusion that retirement is harder than working. Well, I guess I only “kinda” retired, so I only “kinda” failed. Greg didn’t retire at all, so he is still working 8-10 hour days. It’s not fun being retired without him! I can only read so much without…

Moochdocking
Moochdocking – Parking on someone’s land for free (preferably you would know this “someone”) without any hookups. There are some things to take into consideration when going this route with your camper since your comfort is at stake. While we are parked for ‘free’, we do have some hookups, thankfully. From the start, we knew…

Hot Vegas Weekend
I missed my little brother, Drew. He has lived and worked in Vegas for many years and I don’t see his as often as I used to. He has always come to family functions and even flew out to surprise me for my doctoral graduation! So, I booked a flight for Vegas just to see…

Perspective: Grateful
A few years ago, God had me go through a season of speaking out my gratefulness for anything and everything I was grateful for, on a daily basis. It was very therapeutic and something I strive to keep at the front of my mind. Aside from gratefulness, stating the thoughts out loud on purpose also…

Visiting the Littles
The plan was to go stay in Iowa by the kids for a few weeks, but since everything was pushed further back than anticipated, so did that stay. When I inquired with the campground we wanted to stay with up there, they close for non-full-timers October 15th. So, I made the decision to go up…
