I can’t believe how fast our month in the Midwest went! As anticipated it was very busy and good. I feel like I have had the opportunity to do a lot of reflecting during our time here. Especially since we leave today for Europe. I am sure that you aren’t going to be surprised to […]

We have been in Saint Paul for six days and I have already done no less than 30 different things! 😂 It has been wonderful to see so many friends and family members already, my heart is very full, and it is quite a change from the past eight months. Before the pandemic it was […]
As the time to begin our trek back to the Midwest draws closer I find myself reflecting on all the things from the past seven and a half months. We have traveled over 10,000 miles and have seen and visited many incredible places and people. My heart is very full with gratitude for all the […]
At long last, you get to hear from me. A lot has happened since August when we started this adventure and there are so many things that I could write about. Before we started on the road, I thought that I would have all this free time, without house and grad-school responsibilities. I had a […]

I have never been to New Mexico. It is state number 49 of 50 for me so we were intentional about making sure we spent some time here during this adventure. I’m so thankful that we decided to spend three weeks in Santa Fe. The landscape, people and easy-going vibe are good for the soul. […]
Needless to say, even four and a half months in, the learning curve of this adventure is still very steep. I know that it has only been a week since I have written, and I wanted to capture these emotions and thoughts while they were fresh, before I forget to remember. I feel like I […]
It has been about two and a half weeks since we left Charleston and there is a lot to catch up on! I wasn’t really sure what to expect, having only been away from my family during the holidays one other time, and our extended family and friends definitely showed up for us by welcoming […]
