Our Blended Journey

est. 2018

We’re a big blended family of 6 + 3 = 9, then 10, now 11 and the story that brought us to this point is oh so complicated.. When I find myself having an extra few minutes, I do my best to write down a few words because I have found it to be good for my heart.

We live in a small town called Fruitport where we have some land, farm animals, a garden, and woods that surround us from every direction. And we like it this way.

I refer to my Mr. as my favorite farm guy because I think it’s cute and I like having an endearing name for him while I write. He brought two girls into our tribe, I brought five guys and since marrying, we’ve gained two daughter-in-loves.

We have bigs and we have littles.

Our littles come and go which is quite normal for blended families; however, nothing is really normal about it.

He likes to spend his sabbaths out on the farm cutting wood. I like to spend mine snuggled up with a good book, a blanket, and a warm cup of coffee.

Our worlds collided back in 2017 when he showed up to volunteer at the homeless shelter where I worked. Truth be told - it was the third date that did me in.

We have dreams … big dreams and I like sharing them with the world because it seems to help put things in motion.

We love Jesus…. We really do. And we love to tell people about the beauty of second, third and +++ chances because that’s our story and we think the world needs more good stories to be shared.

Praying you find what your heart needs as you stop on by.
