Hi Yall, We have been in Georgia for almost 3 weeks now and it has been a great time with friends and family. The first week we spent with the Cardells before they went to Romania for a mission trip. The second week we were able to spend time with the Brown family in Brunswick,ContinueContinue reading “Family Time”

Here are some updated pictures of our life right now! We built our Ikea bed in the room, which means we had to break it down to get it out of the room to sell it. Yard sale items starting to collect. Yard sale on Saturday! Please pray everything sells! We have had many ofContinueContinue reading “Starting to Pack!”

We sold Betsy today! Crazy! We are still having an adrenaline rush and we are a little sad. Betsy has been in the family for a long time and she got us across the country safely 2 yrs ago. We have 3 weeks left here in California and this just made it real! After weContinueContinue reading “We sold a family member today…”

Hi Yall, Hope everyone had a safe and fun Memorial Day! Jeff and I went to a Malibu beach and met up with our church community there. It was a great time to catch up with friends and relax.

On our list are things like go to Malibu, take pictures on the Colorado bridge, visit the Griffith Observatory, and go to a Dodgers game. Well this week we wereContinueContinue reading “The “Before we leave California” list”

The week before Easter was Jeff’s spring break from school and it worked out that we could spend that time in Georgia. It was a great trip and we are so glad that we went, but, unfortunately, that was not our attitude from the beginning. Beyond missing out on things here in California, we wereContinueContinue reading “Long Distance Relationships are Hard”

You know when you have gotten bad news, but it is so easy to think about everything else and not face it….I have been doing that all day. This morning my great grandmother, Gigi, passed away. She was 88 and fighting cancer and Alzheimer’s. But that is not my Gigi. My Gigi was a veryContinueContinue reading “A very special Lady”
