We live on the side of a mountain and every day we see deer. No lie. It has become a saying in our family, especially to whoever is driving, “OH DEER!” because they will step out, run out, or jump out in front of you at any time. When we first moved here we were […]
Today, we celebrated with a turn of the phone screen, a shout of “LOOK AT THIS!”, expressions of surprise, hugs, and “THANK YOU, JESUS!” It was our very first, one time donation through the Abundant Lifers website! Praise Jesus, we received $30.00 and we celebrated! This was huge for our family AND, we believe, for

We recently travelled to Pikes Peak National Park to find the perfect Christmas tree. Just for the record, we did buy a permit to cut down our tree. It was a cold day, but a memorable day.

Heading to our final campground, we ventured through less prairie and more hills. It was breathtaking. Trees everywhere. More lakes. Rock cliffs. And…Mount Rushmore!

Departure day. August 6, 8:30 a.m., and many mixed emotions. Many tears. Many hugs and blessings. Many miles behind and many ahead. A new beginning. We felt so touched by the incredible efforts by friends, family, and sometimes strangers, to speak to our hearts before we left. It was people taking the time out of

“Homie” is what the kids have called our new temporary home. An RV that fits six and already has many hilarious, adventurous, intense, and precious memories. It has been just over a week since moving. We are life organizing, homeschool planning, travel figuring, paper sorting, and SO. MUCH. MORE. It has been a journey of

James 1:17 says: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. We have experienced just that! A good gift! The Lord has led us to the right truck that we need for being in Colorado
