We were traveling through farm country when these huge windmills popped up on the horizon. As we drew closer, we realized that the windmills were HUGE!

This is the scene that welcomes you when you enter my home … shoes, towels, flip flops, umbrellas. It is a place to kick your shoes off as you arrive home, hang your towel from the beach, and get ready to relax at home. Aaaahhh…home. It may be messy, but it prepares your heart to … Read more
This picture was taken when Devin and I packed an 18-month-old Ethan into our car and “ran away from home.” About 6 months after Austin died, we desperately needed time off work. We ran away.

Imagine sitting down to play a board game for the first time, but the other players keep telling you different rules and different ways to play the game. You wouldn’t know what to do.
