Thank you to all who have welcomed us home. I do have to say, it feels amazing to be back in our own space, and there truly is no place like home. When we embarked on this journey and decided to rent out our house, most of our personal belongings […]

In the home stretch toward home (week 16.5)
The word for today is “contemplative.” As in: “Trying to figure out why I’m so reluctant to return home has me feeling contemplative.” If a complete stranger were to read this blog, he or she might think that I don’t like my life back home. But of course that’s not […]
Homeward bound, I guess (week 16)
It’s no secret that I’m not in any hurry for this magical, whirlwind adventure to end. The #2021LemonadeTour has been the most epic of journeys. Just … wow. Every night, I go to bed exhausted but breathlessly anticipating the next day’s activities! If it weren’t for the girls and all […]
Don’t dream it’s over (week 15)
As our time in South Carolina draws to a close and our grand #2021LemonadeTour with the girls enters its final days, I’ve started to think of things in terms of “lasts.” As in, our last beach house. Our last grocery run to Publix. Our last dinners with Zac and Tammy. […]
People, places, possessions—in that order (week 14)
I could probably write a book about all the lessons I’ve learned this past year. In fact, I might very well go ahead and do so when we get home. (Assuming we ever go home!) But the one that is on my heart today has to do with priorities in […]
Reunited and it feels so good! (week 13)
I can’t believe it’s April. I can’t believe Easter has come and gone. How many times have I said that time is flying by? How many more times in the next month will I repeat this exact same thing? On the road again: Last week Wednesday we packed up our […]
Way down upon the Suwanee River (week 12)
If last week’s adventures were like an episode of MTV’s “Spring Break,” then this week is a cross between “Little House on the Prairie” and “Swamp People.” Northern Florida is quite the different environment! We said goodbye to white sand beaches on Saturday and headed north on I-75 to Mayo, […]
Spring break, Broullire style (week 11)
My brother asked me the other day when I was going to do another blog update. I was only sort of joking when I told him, “Ummm, when I sober up?” Guys, being in Florida has us acting like college kids on spring break. And it’s not even our girls’ […]
The best ships are friendships (week 10)
Tony and I are blessed in so many areas of our lives. We both have jobs we enjoy, healthy families, great kids. Thanks be to God for all those blessings; but this week I’m especially grateful for the many and wonderful friendships we’ve established over the years. I’ve written already […]
Great people, great places (week 9)
As the weather keeps getting better and better here in Texas, we keep having more and more fun. I guess that’s to be expected after our rough start in the Austin ice storm. After my dad and stepmom left last week, the gatehouse seemed far too big and empty. So […]
