Our next Adventure

We are going to Malibu! Not the California one but the Malibu Club Young Life camp in Canada! For those of you who don't know it is located 100 miles north of Vancouver. Nick has done one of his many internships with Young Life at this camp. We are beyond excited for this opportunity. It came at a time where we were starting to lose hope we would ever find jobs. We had been looking for employment for over 4 months here in Indiana and had a few interviews but no job offers. And then right when we were on the brink of depression God orchestrated this amazing opportunity. Things fell into place so flawlessly there was no denying God had his hand in it all. Nick has only spent one summer there but it has impacted him so significantly it makes me excited to be apart of it with him this time. We will be leaving March 1st from Indiana and then be traveling to California. Because we are taking the dog with us we are going to take our time crossing the country. This will be Nick's 11th time driving cross country and he usually does it in 3 days. We will be stopping in Kansas City, Denver (staying 2 days), Salt Lake City and then on to Chico where will be leaving Harley and staying a couple of weeks. After that we are going to head to Oregon where our stuff is still in storage. Also a good excuse to stop back at the Washington Family Ranch and visit with our friends there!

Below are some pictures of Malibu. Simply breathtaking if you ask me! :)

We are so sad to leave the friends and community that we have gained here in Indiana but are looking forward to this next step in life. Many have asked what we are planning to do after the summer and the answer is simple... Only God knows!

Mr. Visionary

I married Mr. Visionary. Who is Mr. Visionary? In the book "Created To Be His Help Meet" Debi Pearl writes that there are three types of men. Mr. Command Man, Mr. Visionary and Mr. Steady. Mr. Visionary is described as a dreamer. He is a man who challenges the status quo and is consumed with a need to communicate with his words, music, writing, voice, art or actions. My husband has a passion for photography and serving in ministry and has a strong conviction about living a life of purpose. Because of this he hasn't lived the typical life of a 26 year old. After college instead of jumping into the rat race he dedicated a year of his life as an intern at a Young Life camp and has continued on that path since then.

"The wife of Mr.Visionary should be just a little bit reckless and blind in one eye if she is going to enjoy the ride. If this is your man, you need to learn two very important things (beyond how to make an appeal). Learn how to be flexible, and learn how to always be loyal to your man. You will be amazed at how much happier you will be and how much fun life can be if you learn to just go with the flow — his flow. Life will become an adventure. You will actually begin to feel sorry for the gals married to the stick-in-the-mud, steady type. And once you get it into your head that your husband does not have to be “right” for you to follow him, you will FINALLY be able to say “bye bye” to your overwrought parents, even when they are screaming that you are married to a crazy man. People looking on will marvel that you are able to love and appreciate your husband, but you will know better because you will see his greatness." - Created to be His Help Meet

Debi Pearl couldn't have said it better. At times it has been hard being married to a Mr. Visionary but at the end of the day I love him with all my heart and I will follow him wherever he may lead. My goal for this blog is to be a place I can record all of the wonderful adventures we will go on.

Welcome to the journey of a wife of a wandering soul!
