About Me

**Update — We are pretty full and busy until after the holidays, but we will still try to accommodate when we don’t already have people over. Check with us.

We're a family of 5 who currently live in Ceres, CA. Since we have kids, families are easy for us to accommodate.

When we're traveling, we always appreciate a friendly place to stay and are eager to mingle with locals who know "what's up" in their cities. We love to see all the dorky tourist stuff, as well as the local niches.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've had great couch surfers stay with us, and had the privilege of staying with really nice hosts. We know it's not always easy finding a place to stay, and when people are floundering in a strange place, friendly hospitality seems like the ultimate kindness.

Interests

Family, friends, food, good health, SDA, photography, and of course TRAVEL.

Music, Movies, and Books

Patriarchs and Prophets

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having kids and now homeschooling them. Hardest and most amazing thing we’ve done by far! 😄

Teach, Learn, Share

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
