About Us

We’re a family of five, brimful of the sacred ordinary.

Vance is a professor at UF, our own personal mad scientist, plant ID guru, and a non-vocational elder at the little local church we love. Despite his battles with mysterious and ever-shifting chronic illness, he is the steady around here.

Terri is resident teacher at our family’s homeschool. She is a writer, a worship leader, and a perpetually-late chauffeur. If she’s not biting off more than she can chew, she has a nose in a book somewhere.

We bring our own menagerie of chaos with us in the form of 3 wonderful kids. They love books, friends, games, the beach (we are a FL family, after all), and eating us out of house and home. They are growing fast, and we are just doing our best to embrace every moment as it comes.

This is where we are keeping track of our wanderings and all the wonder that goes along with them. Thanks for stopping by!
