For the past 20 months, I've lived off the beaten path just outside of Tiny Town Tipton, Iowa on a farm fit for a king. I've loved every minute of this peaceful existence.....ok nearly

cold, wet, drab February on the farm...I shall not miss you! |
so.....there is that dreadful month of February with its dark, cold, wet, depressing days. But that's beside the point. The summers balance it out enough.
Upon our arrival the day before Halloween 2015 we were greeted with wide open arms. Family and strangers alike. The homecoming parade sailed through town right in front of our Bed and Breakfast throwing candy to the littles....I just knew we were in the right place for this season.
I've grown immensely from this time of silence and solitude.... I wouldn't trade this experience for a thing.

my road...the mile walk down to the old church & cemetary....lovely!!! |
Before I end this super short post (just to share some pics of my Iowa memories), I have a few goals I'd like to share:
Goal #1 to share the love of Jesus....
Goal #2 to live in the present moment each day regardless
Goal #3 to decorate my life with experiences, relationships, divine appointments, adventures and even projects, shall they arise.
So it's been a really LONG, amazing, perfectly orchestrated day of clean up, packup and drive for 6 hours....now resting at the hotel getting ready for the second leg of this journey....drive to Denver to pickup my husband at the airport. The idea is that I drive in at the same time he lands.....we shall see.
So let me just say thank you and I love you and I'll truly miss you. Iowa, you'll always be home.
I've said my goodbyes, I've cried my tears and I'm ready to make my way on this wild journey of life.
Now enjoy some pictures: LOVE YOU, Blu
