Ten Years

Ten Years.

Wow, can’t believe it and now with two kids in tow.  

For 2016, we are set to say, “I do” to an entirely new adventure.  A gap year of sorts, a time to really celebrate who we are as a family,  to lay out plans for the next ten while using the skills and strengths we have gained from the past decade..

When Paul and I came back our honeymoon of six months of European wanderings, we said let’s do this every seven years!  Well that time passed but we feel the time is right, right now to pull up our roots in Alaska (not without real pain) and take this precious time that we have with our babies and do something that we will always remember.  Something that at times tugs against our risk adverse selves, is not the most financially safe thing to do but is the thing that we will always have.  

The one thing that comes clearer are clearer each day is that time as they say just marches on. 

Our family has spent a lot of time thinking of what our core values and have decided that our key drivers are:

Serve

Adventure

Learn

Together

So for the next year we will use these values to guide us on this most undefined journey.  We plan on taking trips, spending time (loads of it) just BEING with the kids experiencing new things and setting the foundation for a new journey…that will end in South Dakota. 

We are excited to see where the next year takes us and how this will all work!
