In my chair, in a snug corner of the living room, I watch a flawless fall day unfold out the window. My view – tidy rows of little colonial townhouses, fluffy clouds against a brilliant blue sky. The leaves blush, submitting to the cool air in a transformation to golden ends. We’re here. We made...
I’ve been meaning for a while to write a post sharing that we’re moving “down south” to Connecticut 🙂 In March, we purchased 42 acres of wooded land that we’re rather determined to turn into a little farm. A little farm fifteen minutes from Hartford, that is. I’d like to say this is one of...

Beautiful post! I’m excited to see what God is going to do in your lives in Connecticut.
Thank you! We’re so excited about what God is doing 🖤

I feel like this new place will bring such joy, peace, and growth for you, Darren and the children. I am excited for you. Thank you for your words, you encourage me to keep going and try to catch up to the beauty of your words. <3
Thank you for such kind, thoughtful words, Cathi!! There have been many doubts and tears along the way, but we’re finally starting to see the fruit and rebuilding of the past few years and we’re so thankful 🖤
I’m excited for your journey! God is good and he sees everything ahead of us, he promises to go before us! It’s so wonderful your able to follow your husband and now start to see the path God has laid out for you. Blessings!
Thank you, Whitney! It’s been a winding path, but it’s good to see some of the things we’ve worked so hard for begin to take shape. God is good indeed 🖤
