Choose Adventure
“Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.”
-Winnie the Pooh
When Eli and I decided to start a family, we knew that we needed to begin with the end in mind. What did we want our lives to reflect? What values where most important to us and all decisions need to be filtered through? When our kids are old enough to launch, what do they need to know?
When we took away all the details, all the conversations, all the advice, and boiled it all down, we came up with one word…ADVENTURE.
We believe that we are here not only to experience this adventure of a life that we have been gifted by ourselves, but also those who choose to walk life beside us.
Come, be a part of this lifestyle choice with us.
