In all aspects of our life, we are blessed beyond measure and are deeply humbled by the life the Lord has created for us.
Specifically, we’re thankful for:
- Our salvation and for each new day that God allows us to become better Christians
- A sound marriage that’s growing even stronger by the day
- The time we’ve been given on this adventure to learn more about each other and experience the world around us
- For starting a new Thanksgiving tradition of reading Psalm 107 to anchor us in true appreciation
- Our AMAZING family who are so much fun to be around, have taught us kindness, love and generosity, and who lift us up daily to reach our dreams
- Our close friends that we consider family
- Modern technology that helps us stay connected with our loved ones
- Our careers that have helped provide for this dream and for Mvelopes for helping us manage those finances
- The challenges and trials that force us to become more God and self-reliant
- Psalm 91 and the peace it provides (Thanks, Marli)
- The inner diesel mechanic in all of our friends
- Fellow cruisers out there – past, present, and future – that we are learning from and being inspired by
- For all of you, for joining us as virtual crew along this journey and for your uplifting encouragement and well wishes. Wishing you many blessings today and always.
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so Thankful to be able to keep up with you all through blogging! Happy sailing! FC Downtown misses you!!
Hi there, I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say hi. Sounds like you guys are living life to the fullest, cheers to that! We live/sail in Oklahoma and would love to do a trip like that someday. All the best!
Great to hear from you Josh! Thanks so much for your well wishes and encouragement. You guys have an incredible wedding photography site! I wish we would have known you when we were married in Dallas May of 2009 :o) We’ll certainly send our friends that are recently engaged your way. Just a note of encouragement, it’s our perspective that someday can be any day that you’d like. Just takes steering around those perceived barriers and going for it. You guys have a great profession for taking it on the road, er waterway. Thanks again and fair winds. Christie & Matt

It’s encouraging and comforting to know we have our friends along as virtual crew. We love and miss you! Christie & Matt
