Hello from the Grand Canyon!

It’s been a big week around here. Tuesday was Nick’s first Veteran’s Day since ending active duty service. And this weekend is his birthday!

Because he doesn’t have social media and there’s no good way to send him a card, I thought it would be fun to create a place to leave him a birthday message, which you can do by texting him or posting a comment below. I know he would love to hear from you any time.

Thanks for keeping in touch. Sending love and hugs to all.

So much to celebrate!


Roberts on the Road

Hello from the Grand Canyon!

For those just finding us, hello! Inspired by the Year of Jubilee in Leviticus 25, our family is on a yearlong RV road trip in 2025-2026 to celebrate my husband’s retirement after 20 years in Naval Special Warfare, as well as our 24 years together during the ups and downs of it all.

With our 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son in tow, this trip to explore America’s national parks and beautiful places is intended to help our family reflect and reset as civilian life begins.

Sign up below to receive updates about the trip, along with stories, photos, and reflections from 24 years of military service. We look forward to keeping in touch on this epic adventure.
