I was raised on the other side of the country. I did life there for 23 years and I loved it. Then I moved to Southern California, the other side of earth. Atleast it felt like it at the time. It took me awhile to adjust to California life, especially Southern California life. But I […]
Here is a snippet of Brian’s final talk at CRU a couple weeks ago, saying goodbye to a ministry we’ve seen God change and one we’ve grown to love dearly.
1. This week I made some cute skirts out of jeans I got from the thrift store. It took me all of 30 min to make 2 skirts and they are adorable. My girls are in a “all jean” phase. So I’m trying to get a little crazy on them and get them to wear […]
If I had all the money and time in the world I would buy/make each person a gift who has impacted me in Chico in someway. Just to say thanks, I like you, I appreciate you, I will miss you, don’t forget me:) But time and money are not plentiful so I have to be […]

The kids chased sheep in the pasture (aka diarrhea field as Mason called it. nice), fed horses, carried eggs from the chicken coop around, yelled at the cows and climbed fences. We […]
