When Babycita was 6 months old we had the opportunity to dedicate her in our church and write a letter that we read to her in front of our congregation. In it we listed our hopes and dreams for her future. I quote some of it here:
"We hope that you strive to be a good steward to this earth, and to seek peace in all you do. We hope that you become an independent, strong, confident, kind-hearted young woman. We will do our best to encourage you to become multi-lingual and hope that you wish to travel the earth, learn of other peoples and cultures and develop global perspective."
She is almost five, and I am now ready to make my dreams for her (and my son) a reality.
The name for this blog was inspired by the Allman Brothers Band, with whom I connected while studying abroad in Germany in 2000. Travel has been an important part of my life since I was young, and also one of the main ways that I connected with my my husband over 10 years ago. I am, of course, not a ramblin' man. We hope, however, to be a ramblin' fam.
A Ramblin' Fam
Lord, we were born a ramblin' fam,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best we can.
And when it's time for leavin',
We hope you'll understand,
That we were born a ramblin' fam.
