Snorkeling or Suffocating (Guest Post)

June 23, 2017

This is a guest post by Matt and Karissa Long. The difference between the two is just a little plastic tube. Recently I (Karissa) got the opportunity to go snorkeling in the ocean.

Capital City Trip

June 10, 2017

Here’s just a few random pictures from our trip to the capital city. I usually don’t like trips because they are usually just chaotic, but this one was different.

Farm & Fleet

November 28, 2016

I nearly had an emotional breakdown in Farm & Fleet. Don’t worry, to save face for men everywhere, I held it together. If you’ve been following our journey, you know that we moved from Waukesha, WI to the Elkhart, IN area about 6 months ago. When we lived in Waukesha, I would often run errands […]nothing?
