Our vacation buddies


It's rare to find people you like enough to vacation with ... multiple times. But this makes a third vacay with the Shraders. We went to Costa Rica together a year ago with our kiddos, we went to Belize this year, and then we did JUST the adults back in Costa Rica again this year. 

Just glorious.

Meredith has become one of my very dearest friends. We met through ballet originally although they aren't at dance anymore, but most recently, our lives have intersected through Heritage Home Scholars. Meredith is going to be the President of our homeschool Board this coming school year. We served together on the Board before I had to step off about a year ago for my mental health. But God is allowing me to return so we will do the Board together again. 

The Shraders have three children: Lily (14 almost 15), Hosea (11), and Janessa (6). I've made many friends here in Greeneville but introverted Meredith has secured herself at the top of my list of awesome people. I love her. In addition, Daniel is an outdoorsman like John. In fact, he attended one of the first permaculture conferences we had on our farm. They have some similar interests which is also good although introverted JB doesn't really "need" many friends. 

Daniel and Meredith run an amazing wedding venue on the other side of town. Check out their Wedding Venue here.
