If you know me you’ve probably figured out all of my quirks. If we’ve just met, there are a few things you might want to know.

I’m sensitive, strong when I need to be, and ,for the most part, an open book. Because of certain experiences, I’ve realized that I have started to wrestle with being raw & vulnerable  vs. untrusting and guarded. I’d love to find a balance and with the Lord’s help I believe I’m on my way toward doing that.

I love having fun and try to keep spontaneity and laughter in our day. Though, now that my boys are teenagers, my spontaneous singing outbursts and kitchen dancing are not as appreciated as they were in years past. I’m addicted to organizing, yet never feel organized.  I love a good bargain,  a good meal,  a good book,… and am always ready for a good laugh.

We are a family who loves the Lord and a family via adoption. I never would have thought that infertility would be my route, but it has brought us to the gift of adoption and our amazing twin boys. I thank God for that. I also never thought we would be homeschooling. I have days where I feel like throwing in the towel, but for now my heart keeps my feet firmly planted to our homeschool ground. It’s hard….and wonderful….and often exhausting.

My grammar stinks, my hope is huge, and my mistakes, well, there are too many to mention.  Taking it all one day at a time, one adventure at a time.
