Marbella, Spain, September 30th, 2015

So far the trip has been cool, sad, happy, mad and frightening, but I have gotten through it with love, tears, and God.  There’re many cats.  I don’t know if they are wild or not.  We have made many friends.  Some waiters and waitresses all the way to the life guard.  Right now we are…

Marbella, Spain, September 30th, 2015

Oh, the beach.  The beach, the beach, the beach.  When we were searching for a place to rent outside of Malaga, this was the first place we saw.  We couldn’t actually get inside, but loved the area so much, we didn’t need to see it.  Every place has been special, but meeting people who work…

Malaga (August 27th, 2015)

This city sits right on the Mediterranean coast, and was just named the 9th best European city to live.  We loved our time here of living in a big city, taking in all it has to offer and learning tons about its history.

Seville, Spain, August 9th, 2015

History, architecture, food… holy overload.  Need to go back for at least a week or two.  It was a stop over to see where my sister lived, and it was great.  Seville in August… probably not the best choice, but a jump in the river solved that.

What is normal

What is normal? I have been asking myself that a lot lately. Since turning 40 this year, the thought of normal and how that applies to my life is so at the forefront of my mind. I grew up in a middle class, Christian home and went to Christian schools from elementary through college. I…

Start Here

This entry to kick off our international leg of the adventure is written by Matt/Dad. Ok… where to begin. It’s been about four weeks since we sold our cars, peddled our house, unloaded our business, donated about 75% of our possessions including our clothes and all of our furniture – then, I grabbed my family,…

Dallas

The best part of Dallas was seeing my niece, Alyssa. We got to spend a ton of time with her as she showed us around her city. We also got to experience the Dallas aquarium, which was really nice, and a good day outing.
