Our Life, Our Adventure

I love this photo that my girl took of Tripp and me while we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago.

We were staying in Scottsdale but had taken a day trip up to Sedona. And while we were there, decided to take the half-mile hike up to one of the purported ‘vortexes’ in the area to see what all the fuss was about. Although we didn’t experience any big energy surge, we did get an amazing view of the canyons red rocks that Sedona is known for.

I think this one of my favorite things about Tripp…that he’s always up for any kind of adventure – big or small. I love the way he lights up when we travel, and he has taught me so much about the joy of discovering new places.

Today Tripp and I are celebrating our 27th anniversary. I am so grateful for the life we have created together and all of the adventures that we have shared. And I am looking forward to all of the adventures to come.

    Happy Anniversary! Would love a recap/pictures of your southwest adventure. I’ve never been and have added Sedona to my list of new places to explore after a friend recommended it recently. Seems like a good winter-time escape.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
