We moved into our home the very day our son came home from the hospital. We had spent the first 2.5 years of our marriage in an apartment. Finding a home somehow seemed to make being a family more real. This home was an answer to specific prayers– aside from the fact that it does not have a dishwasher.![]()
Our home has been full of dreams that have come true and dreams we still hold on to. One of those dreams was a small one, but now a fulfilled one.
In San Luis Obispo, yard space is rare and we have a large one. We have always wanted to host a back yard party and we finally did. My wife arranged a Farewell Summer, Hello Fall Soiree. We provided the snacks and all of the guests were in charge of bringing one to two appetizers plus a bottle or two of wine that paired with their food.





Our evening was full of laughs, lots of wine, and plenty of food. It was official that the hot summer nights had slipped away and Fall was here as the cool wind wrapped us in chills.
Hello Fall!!
