Hello friends! It’s been awhile and I’m feeling chatty! We are 4 months deep into a new life in a new city and are only now feeling settled and semi-familiar with our surroundings, but we are loving it here! It’s been so long since we updated and I thought I’d take some time and let you […]

Hello friends! As is our fashion, we have yet to give an update on our whereabouts…because we just really like to be difficult. Not really; we just procrastinate. It’s been a little over 2 weeks since we left our tiny Gleanings family, and trust me that was not easy. We fell in love with the […]

For a while, Bethany and I have been in a place of waiting. First waiting to get married, waiting for nursing school to be over,  then waiting to go to Kenya, then waiting for something else, then waiting to hear back from jobs applied to. It seems like we’re always waiting for something, but in our […]

Last time we talked, Bethany told you guys that we were in New Mexico. It’s been a while and we’ve been doing things since then. We managed to see Arches and Canyonlands in Utah, get snowed in at a hostel in Moab, drive through Arizona to get to a closed Grand Canyon, spend some time […]

Apparently, Dallas and I are not meant to be bloggers. Despite us having a few noteworthy developments lately, we’ve yet to type it all out for our family and friends. Oops. So….here it is.   In the last update we gave, we were learning how to be happy in our little home by the lake […]

When last we left off in this somewhat abandoned blog of ours (I never claimed to be timely), we had just received news of our being removed from the August program. That was several months ago, and I know that we haven’t provided many answers for our faithful followers. The reasoning for that is very […]

It’s a Monday. Mondays are just altogether icky. I swear, I blinked and weekend came rushing to a close without so much as a warning. I guess it’s not Monday’s fault. But I still don’t like it, just the same. So I guess it’s fitting that I relay our most recent life development on a Monday. […]

Read more "Come What May."

We haven’t written lately, and most of that is because of how hectic both of our schedules are with me working and going to school and Bethany working full time. But I wanted to write just to get some things off of my chest and to be transparent with any of our supporters. First of […]

This post is written a little after-the-fact but I just wanted to give an idea of what’s going on, up to now. On February 20th, we got the news that we were accepted to the 30 day outreach program in August, and to be honest, we were a little surprised, and a little caught off […]

The weather outside is contradicting itself, as it so often does in Georgia. I’m sitting inside click-clacking away while the sky is all greys, the ground is sopping and yet the birds are singing like it’s the first day of spring. That makes me smile. By way of introductions, I should explain who we are, […]
