For our 10th anniversary, in September of 2015, my husband and I traveled to the Oregon coast. I had been planning this trip for months, feverishly scouring all the tourist attractions and destinations to figure out what we would definitely not want to miss. We almost missed our flight out from Denver, and so the trip had started off on a bad note, but we were not going to let this dampen our spirits. It was our first real trip away, sans kids, and we were very excited to enjoy our time alone, soaking in the quietness and solitude you don’t often find with two boys wrestling around and ravaging our home.

A bit of history

by margotrd, posted in Life

For those of you who are new to this site, I am so glad you are here! I want to share a bit about myself so you can get to know a little about me. I am a born and bred Colorado native, and yes, we do still exist! In fact, my husband is one as well. We live in Parker, Colorado, an old country town turned rapidly expanding suburbia, just southeast of Denver. I am a mom to two handsome fellas that keep me humble and make me proud all at the same time. I homeschool them, which gives us a lot of freedom to travel, do projects, and experience the world around us during the school year. It isn’t always a walk in the park here; we know life brings storms as well as sunshine. We are held together by our faith in Jesus, and he will never let us down. I hope you enjoy your time here on 31 Downing Street!
