our Story
In 2020 we moved from Broomfield, Colorado to Aubrey, Texas. Phil and I and our son, Jett, made the trek with two horses, three dogs and pure faith that God was planting us exactly where we were intended to be. Our daughter, Rylie, was a freshman at Abilene Christian, and the rest of our family was deeply rooted in Colorado. Within 18 months of making the move, much of our extended family joined us in North Texas. We like to say that we brought the whole traveling circus with us! In 2022 we were blessed to have our oldest daughter, Alea, and our first-born granddaughter, Luna, join us here in Aubrey. Our family has since grown! Rylie married her high school sweetheart, Micah, in June of 2024 and they blessed us with another granddaughter, Andi, in June of 2025. We are beyond lucky to have all of us, as well as my mom, living within 0.2 miles of one another. Texas has truly blessed us and we are grateful! In September of 2025, I found myself with an empty pasture. The kids had moved my barnyard buddies to their newly acquired property (virtually next door) and I simply could not bear it! On October 30th, we brought home Cowboy and Poppy, the cutest little cows in North Texas! We can't wait to share them with you!
