Married 22 yrs and we've learned.......

... that we still have so much to learn!  I'm ok with this because in order to learn, it takes time and effort. When it comes to marriage those are things that I've come to enjoy.  We feel every once in a while we have to get to know each other again. Ya see, life changes you.  It's ok... just role with it... choose to love this person even if "he just isn't the same as when I married him". I don't know anyone on this earth who can stay exactly the same and yet also go through all of what life hurls at us. It just isn't possible.  This has become so fun to me. Spending time with Jeff, finding out his likes and dislikes (you'd think I'd know right... but trust me... they change haha). 

We took a short trip to B'ham to do a coffee shop tour. This is our third city to do this in and we absolutely LOVE it!!!  We are learning how to coffee shop hop without drinking a ton of coffee (although admittedly, I had too much... but I knew what I was doing ha).  

Coffee is an international love language! Yes, I do realize there are some who do not like coffee... I forgive you. We have visited quite a few coffee shops in our nation and around the WORLD and there is such a cool common bond... it's internationally understood.

Over a year ago, my awesome other half decided to try his hand at roasting coffee. It was an experiment at first that turned into a "wow, I think we can do this".  Just in case you are wondering... roasting coffee in a grill might not be the best way to go UNLESS you are ready and fast with the water hose (which he was thankfully!).  Let's just say that batch was ultra dark :)  Live and learn for sure! We did purchase a roaster that has not caught on fire as of yet haha.  We have now started a side business selling fresh roasted coffee!!!!  Of course we have TONS of dreams of where this COULD go but.... one step... one day at a time.  Today, I would like to introduce you to...

Kawi Roasters

We are roasting Peruvian beans right now and as a coffee drinker, they are my favorite! In the future I may start a blog for Kawi... but not today :)

ALSO.... we have set dates and plane tickets for our next Compassion Peru trip YAY!!!!!  So much fun stuff going on... I need more coffee..........   :)

Today is Monday. This time in life is very busy. Today I choose to be thankful, grateful, and count my many blessings (not material...).
