Live Lightly.

Over a year ago I was turned onto Sara's blog Walk Slowly, Live Wildly...I love reading her blog, feeling so warm by her words, enjoying reading another like-minded bloggers thoughts.  Then she announced that her and her fam would be taking to the road in a veggie-oil powered RV.  I was more than intrigued.  I offered a somewhat flat piece of concrete in front of my home for them to park for a few days, little did I know they would actually take me up on my offer.  Their tour the Live Lightly Tour is traveling the country spreading the word about veggie-oil powered vehicles and sustainable living...

Last week they came our way, stayed for a few days and our lives were changed forever.  Matt and Sara are amazing creation-loving Christians.  From the second they arrived Nick and I felt like we had known them forever.  (We continue to wonder if they have that affect on everyone they meet or if we were *special*, I would like to think we are *special*, but I think maybe not.)  We had an amazing weekend of laughter, scooters, redwoods, photography, raw food eating, veggie buying, worshiping, jammin' (as in Matt and Nick playing music), girl-time, where we squeezed as much into as little time as possible, Thai food, coffee and Borders all before bedtime (thank you Daddy's).  We had such a wonderful time with the Janssen's and we would welcome them back anytime, absolutely anytime!

How cool! I want to live out of a huge RV, rent would be so cheap! :P

Looks like you had fun together. Also, wanted to tell you that Tea always looks so pretty. She's in tights! Is she always so well put together? Right now Kaitlyn's in a shirt and undies. LOL. Her hair's so knotted she almost has dreadlocks because she screams when I try to brush it.

Sigh. She's so stubborn. I have no idea where she got that from...

um...(looks around)...yeah. :D
