About Me

We are a family of five; and we are both approaching 30! We've been married 9 years this summer. It is just so hard to believe that we are adults and parents, but we love it, and grow more into ourselves with each passing year. I hear that your 30s are the best time of your life and I'm looking forward to it! I pray that with a new business and children beginning school (Kindgergarten!) that we won't settle at all, like an old married couple, like people content with their lives, but we will look forward to the next change, the next unexpected turn, to see where God will take us with an eagerness that used to elude us in our 20s, when we were so afraid to fail. May we not only walk with perseverance but I hope we will RUN, that we will RACE, that we will not be afraid to fall!
