We're going to build a home



We are building a new home-
not out of wood and nails,
paint or drywall-
those things already exist there.
But we'll be building a home,
a new home out of love and
kindness
sacrifice
and simplicity.

There is a yard
There is our cat
There is a barn with animals to watch; alpacas, horses, goats, ducks.

There is each other
and a whole lot of space for loving and healing
and
there is
the luck
of being together
and staying in our community
where we have our friends
our church
our family.

We move in to our new home, our new beginning on September First.
