5 years ago my husband sold his law practice of 25 years and we loaded up our pack and headed west in search of a quieter and more purposeful life along the front range of the Rockies. I don't know that our life is any quieter but we definitely live with a much greater purpose and focus. We love having a great community to raise our pack not to mention some awesome views of the mountains. The only downside is that I have come to realize that I am not a cold weather girl. My husband is living a dream of writing a book while searching for ways he can serve the Lord in ministry.
I recently left my part time as an academic advisor and teacher in a local high school and am looking forward to assisting my husband in the upcoming release of his book, The Beckoning while taking care of my little pack of kiddos. On a typical day you can now find me cleaning, grocery shopping and lost in a sea of never ending laundry. I love all things adoption and seeing the beauty of orphaned children finding families, spending alone time with my man, being with my sister (which I don't get to do very often), visits with my best friend, Sara, cooking and putting together beautiful dinner parties, long outdoor runs, hikes with my family, strong coffee and having quiet moments to soak in God's Word. I love being the mama bear to our pack and although I do grow weary, frustrated and discouraged I wouldn't have it any other way. Our days are chocked full of fun, excitement and a lot of craziness as we enjoy life as a "Six Pack + One"!
