It’s a big day. Kerri has lived in this house more than half of her life. I am approaching a decade in our home. In other words, I’ve lived in this house longer than I’ve lived anywhere in my adult life.
The first moment I stepped foot into this house I felt and saw in my mind the word, “Home.” It unnerved me a bit since, after several months of correspondence, Kerri and I had only just met in person. Also, I was a dedicated wanderer, the kind that is never lost, so I didn’t believe I would ever experience the feeling of “home”. It wasn’t in my cards.
Life changes fast. That first night we crawled out a second-floor window, sat on the roof and sipped wine. It was cold so we wrapped ourselves in blankets. I’d been waiting my entire life to find someone who wanted to crawl out the window with me. Home. My wife and our house. Inseparable stories woven together through time. I am unbelievably fortunate that her house has become our house and it loves us as much as we love it.
Home. I feel it. It was in my cards all along.

The Direction of Intention 
Uncanny. I have always been a wanderer too! But 10 years ago, a bank bought us 8.64 acres w/a house and a double door garage (which can’t fit our truck). I felt weird about it at first. But since our health issues – stability was a necessity. Plus, we have all these wild creatures! Yeah, HOME!
You gotta love those banks. Stability is nice, too. Not to be under-rated, especially for dedicated wanderers. As it turns out this life is filled with surprises.;-)
