For our next adventure

I’ve been pretty distracted lately, much more moody than normal, and definitely more hungry than normal (if you can believe that). Chad has been SO supportive & encouraging every day. We’re loving “home” in North Carolina and have been soaking it in one adventure at a time over the last year—it seems our next adventure will include a baby! Hearing his or her little heartbeat for the first time yesterday made it much more real for us. Lord-willing, we’re due April 30th!

Fall in North Carolina

Chad and I are learning all about the differences in timing of seasons here in North Carolina, in comparison to the northern midwest. Three weeks ago (Nov 13), we got up early and spent a weekday morning before work walking around Historic Oak View County Park. What perfect timing! The fall colors were absolutely beautiful and it was about 60°F—perfect for a fall nature walk. We soaked in the sights, took deep breaths, laughed together and didn't think about the challenges of life at all. Our focus was shifted, in the most refreshing way possible.

I hope you enjoy these photo highlights from our walk...
