Oh, hello there…

So, here we are… I am, once again, attempting a blog.

Let me tell you my plans for it…

Brian and I have a love for the outdoors, we also have a love for dogs. And when you combine these two things it is exactly what we love about life.

So who is Blue?

Blue is our, currently 5 1/2 month old, Airedale Terrier pup. We had never owned one, or even been around one until we met him. I did a little studying before we made a definite decision on choosing him, and one thing I seen on all information about Airedale’s is that they are high energy… and I’m here to tell you, he is 58 lbs of 100% “what were we thinking” energy! We wouldn’t change a thing about him tho. He trains very well and is so smart. And he loves to be outdoors. He’s been on a 6 mile hike and a 4 mile hike with us so far… and many many short trails, and has done great. If we go, he goes… except for work & church… and if I had my way, that would change 🙂

So who are we?

Brian & I have been married 10 years. We have 2 girls, a granddaughter, and a granddog. Brian works in law enforcement, is associate pastor of our church and I work at our local college. We have the best life. I will tell anyone who will listen that we were meant to be together. We enjoy the same things in life and we have come to the point in life that it’s not about the “things”, it’s about “living”. So much so that we are selling our 40 acre farm and home that we built together to simplify our lives and enable us to do more together. We get one short life… and we want to enjoy the rest of ours doing the things we love, and doing them together.

Plus, adventure is always better with a dog, right?

This is us.

We are not special. We are not wealthy. We are not well-known. We are not world travelers. And we are not materialistic.

We still have full time jobs. We still have bills to pay. We still have obligations.

But we love life. We love God. We love family. We love the outdoors. And we love Blue.

My plans for this blog is to share bits and pieces of life and our adventures. You will see a lot of Blue, and some sneak peaks into this new transition in our life. I’m probably gonna share a little Jesus too. I truly believe The Lord led Brian and I to each other and that He is the one who has molded us, even before we knew each other, into who we are today so that we would have this great life together.

So… that’s us!

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do. Adventure awaits!
