What This Life Has Given Our Kids

Most People Think We’re Crazy… But We’d Do It Again

Most people think we're crazy. We sold the house, left the routine behind, and crossed the Pacific Ocean with our kids. It hasn't always been easy. There have been setbacks, repairs, long passages, and plenty of uncertainty. But there have also been moments like these. If we had the chance...
