Joe and I have had a blast writing twice a week for the last year. It’s hard to believe how far we have come. God has blessed us so much. It is a tremendous honor that anyone out there follows our adventure journal. Knowing that people read our stories has helped keep it alive. We [...]
There is no one that Joe and I are more grateful for than our mothers. They have been our number one fans for as long as we can remember. We decided to use our blog to honor them today on Mother’s Day. Ann – Ever since I was a little girl I remember looking up [...]
While reading the Word before bed a few nights ago I came across this Proverb: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart [...]
At the close of each trip or big adventure, Joe and I like to debrief our recent experiences on the drive or flight home. We spent the last five weeks in China and have learned so much, both about the Chinese culture and way of life, but also about international travel and logistics. On the [...]
The US is at a Precipice The United States is at a precipice that all great empires find themselves at. She has chosen the role of policing the world and fighting a war on terror. Lots of foolish politicians have claimed that this behavior is good for our national interests and our economy. At the [...]
I can’t say that I hate television or I’d be lying. Actually, I love television. Give me a remote, four hundred channels, a few hours, and some popcorn, and I’d be right in hog heaven. And this is why I am so thankful that we are living without one. A good prime time show, Glen [...]
During our dating years, Joe introduced me to the book “Captivating” by John and Stasi Eldredge. Captivating takes women on a journey of exploration and discovery to find the life Christ has intended for the feminine soul. When I first received it I was intrigued at what lay behind the beautiful front cover. After reading [...]
Ann and I are still pretty new to blogging but here are a few things that we have learned that could help you. 1.) Commit – If you are going to blog, set it in your heart to write on a regular basis. Sometimes we don’t feel like writing, but because we have committed to do [...]
Whenever people find out that I skydive they ask me the same questions. Here are the most common questions and answers. 1.) What do you like about skydiving? Just the thought of getting out of an airplane is terrifying to most people. Lots of people ask what Ann and I like about it. I’m always [...]
~ Joe The best parts of our trip were definitely the moments that I had to spend with Ida, Anna, and Emmett, my brother Mike’s three children. The wonder inside a child’s heart is such a beautiful thing; it captivated me and I tried very hard to capture it. These three were the life of [...]
Ann and I are currently making the journey out to West Yellowstone, where we will spend Christmas with our families. We are praying for a lot of snow, as our plan is to rent snowmobiles and explore the many geothermic features in the park. We thought this would be a good way to bring our [...]
Believe it or not, Joe and I try to live as simple as possible. It is a call that we feel has been bestowed on us as caretakers of God’s creation. What does it mean to live simply? The words speak for themselves. Living means to be alive. Simply is straightforward or unadorned. We want to be fully alive in [...]
While browsing through my news feed on Facebook the other day, I came across a post that struck me. A long time friend of mine and another girl had just applied to be on the show The Amazing Race. I was vaguely familiar with the show. My roommates and I spent a few evenings freshman year of college [...]
It felt so good to board the almost-finished Dallas Stork Bus, the first in our fleet. It is a bus designed to offer all of the resources and care of a local pregnancy center to women right outside the five abortion clinics in Dallas. The Dallas Stork Bus is the property of the Downtown Pregnancy [...]
One of Ann’s and my favorite dates is to go to the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival. We literally have not missed one since we started dating. The Banff Festival is packed with the latest outdoor adventure documentaries, which to us is like the Super Bowl. It was after watching Karina Hollekim’s base jumping story [...]
