Our Life On Purpose

We have 940 Saturdays until our kids graduate from high school and go on to college. That's 18 summers to make the most of our time with them.

Every year, we make resolutions to be intentional. Eat less, exercise more, get up earlier etc. We want to live our life on purpose, be intentional about parenting and being together and make family our favorite thing.

Our Life

We love family time, and though sometimes that means we have more mess than we'd like, we want to share our journey with you. Follow along as we share our favorite experiments and experiences as we try to make every moment count.

Though the days are long, the years are short.

Riding bikes keeps the no see’ems off you apparently. Also, check out our latest video of Zion Canyon! Link in profile.

Grand Wash Trail, Capitol Reef National Park. • This park surprised us so much. We were only there for 5 days and most of that time we were doing school and work. But the hikes we took and the beautiful things we saw were pretty awesome. • Capitol Reef is definitely the underdog of the 5 National Parks in Utah. But we think it’s worth the stop! •

Raising daughters (well children in general) has always been intimidating to me. • How do I teach them to be strong, brave, courageous, and independent yet soft, gentle, and humble? • How do I not allow the insecurities that I am I still tackling to affect them and shape them? • How do I teach them to bend but not break, to refuse to accept the limits that others place on them, while still being quick to learn and listen to those that are older and wiser than them. • I still don’t have the answers to these all of these questions and most days am not sure if I am even coming close to hitting the mark. But I am so encouraged to see how God is shaping them and making all of these things and more a true part of who they are. And I am so grateful that He saw fit to allow me to be there, beside them through it all. •

Wonderland RV Park,Torrey, Utah. • Throwing it back today to our first 6 months on the road and our time out West. • We had so many great adventures while there that I have yet to document. But I am determined to keep working to get them documented here, bc are huge reason why we are doing this! • This RV park was small, but so homey. It was surrounded by farmland,close to #capitolreefnationalpark, and filled with gorgeous fruit trees that we got to pick apples from. And as we left, we stocked up on a huge bag of the most delicious apples I have ever tasted for only $5! • If you are in this area, be sure to check out this RV park! •

Super excited to have this little addition to the second leg of our traveling journey. • After weighing our truck and trailer at the cat scales, Joseph finally approved bringing it with us. • To say I am excited is an understatement. You know, we like to stick with only bringing the essentials. •

The next 4 pictures (swipe to see them all) show what a crazy vast and amazing landscape Utah has to offer. Which is why it is our favorite place so far. • All of these pictures where taken on our way to/ or in @capitolreefnps. The landscape changed so drastically over the miles we drove that we were all overwhelmed by it. • Not to mention, being we felt so at home finally seeing some trees and greenery lining the roads (picture #2). •

“Do what you can right where you are with what you have.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt. • I remember as we were trying to get our life in order to take off on our grand adventure, how DAUNTING it all felt. It never seemed like we would get there. • But every day, we did what we could to get us one step closer to where we wanted to be. And now we are enjoying the fruit of what we worked so hard for! • So what’s your dream? Goal? Desire? What could you do right now, where you are, with what you have? Small steps today can lead to big changes tomorrow! So don’t wait! Get started today!
