on december 24th, 2014, michael and the boys and i, plus our two cats, embarked on an adventure of unknown duration, wandering all over the US with a camper, a goal, some skills, and a lot of unknowns.  the story is unfolding in online form over on www.heartloose.com, so most of my blogging will be there for the duration of the trip.  i hope to do some posting here, but can't promise.  it's a huge change, an exciting one, and one full of uncertainty and a huge amount of faith.  would love it if you followed along, shouted encouragements from time to time, and helped me feel not quite so disconnected and invisible.  thanks in advance :).

Jan 2020 UPDATE : In August of 2019 we bought 32 acres on Clinch Mountain in NE Tennessee, and are working on making it habitable for our well-traveled camper! Updates are still happening over there
