Our Blended Story

est. 2018

We’re a big blended family 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 sweet girls into the blend, I brought five handsome guys, and since marrying, we’ve gained two daughter-in-luvs.

Our three oldest sons are now adults and living in their own homes, while our four younger ones come and go, which is typical for blended families, though nothing feels normal about it.

My hubby 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…. Alot.

And we love to tell people about the beauty of second, third and +++ chances because that’s part of 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.
