I started this blog at the urging of friends and family in April 2010 when my husband and I were given an opportunity to relocate in Maryland for one year. We have now returned home to Arizona and continue to walk by faith as we watch God orchestrate the adventures in our lives. I invite you to share in our adventures as we watch God at work!

We live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

50 shades of summer

I am a list-maker. I enjoy the challenge of completing all the things on my list. I had a fabulous time finishing my "100 Things in Arizona" list so I knew when I saw a photo that a Facebook friend reposted showing a handmade chart with 100 things to do with your child this summer that my challenge was on. I made a list of 50 things to do this summer... some are things I would do anyway, some are things I've always wanted to do but never made time to do, some are brand new things, and some are things I've done in the past. But ALL of them are fun things!

I'll report back at the end of each month (June, July and August) so you can see my progress. But don't just read about the fun I'm having - make your own list!
