Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva

July 31, 2009March 26, 2016 stefanieboyce

July 25 we spent Jayden’s 3rd birthday in Lake Geneva with Ama, Bubba, and Nana, Papa! We has a great time swimming at the cove, lunch at Houlahans, and walking around downtown. It was also Brooklyn’s first time “swimming”!

This is SO ME.
It’s not to late, you know. To start again. To try again. To believe again. The secret is in the trying. I used to think I could run on the fumes from yesterday’s successes. Great conversation with a friend, great quiet time with Jesus, showed up for the kids, nice date with the hubby, even healing our mind, body or spirit....it all requires us to show up and start fresh as if nothing has been done. It’s hard work, but good work. His mercies are new every morning, He rejoices when the work begins, not when the results are in. What a great invitation to start.
Another annual trip to the Kalahari on the books! Nothing better than being in a swimsuit in January in Wisconsin! #midwestisbest
So thankful for time spent with @nicolemariehowe dreaming and discovering where God is leading. When you venture out of the nest of a career and go into business for yourself, pursue a new dream, or enter a season of transition, it’s always good to have trusted friends along the way pointing out things you can’t quite see, and affirming the things you think you hear. Nicole is one of those people for me. Our time was restful and sweet, challenging and comforting. Thanks @joankboyce for letting us use your space, it felt like home. Here’s to our next steps and more clarity!!!

5 months closer. Last August, we packed up the camper and did a tour around Wisconsin for what would be our last week with Brooklyn. Obviously, we didn’t know it at the time. We started at Kettle Moraine. We arrived at a campsite the size of a postage stamp in the dark. It’s was fun, taking walks and sitting at the little beach. Brooklyn had been at Springhill camp at church the week before and was struggling. Everyone who knows her well was worried. We checked with our hospice teams to make sure leaving for a week was ok. We all knew it wasn’t “ok” but it wasn’t “not ok.” That’s the thing with “terminal,” sometimes, memories win. So we did Kettle for two days then headed up to Door County. Some of our best memories were there. B walked around the campsite as church bells rang in the background, had her feet in the sand at Peninsula State Park, swam with her sister and daddy in the pool, and laughed with her friends. But my most favorite place was Bear Lake Campground. I have a lot of guilt because most of my time was spent in the laundry room. B had an accident both nights so we had to wash the sheets so it required me to be away babysitting the laundry instead of being with B. While there, I met Tami. We became fast friends. The sunsets were holy on the lake. And it’s this very spot I unknowingly released her to the Lord in a kayak. Everything about our lake view site was sacred. I fell in love those two days we were there. Her last smile to me was at Bear Lake. Our last stop was to meet up with friends at a campground by the dells. Brooklyn ate a hot dog that Friday night. 72 hours later, she was gone. Bear Lake is a holy, sacred place for us so when we opened the mail yesterday to see they gifted us a two night stay this summer, I cried. There are so many beautiful people in the world. To all my camping friends, will you consider camping at Bear Lake this summer?? Website link is in my bio. You won’t regret it. And when the sun reflects off the lake just so, remember sweet B. I know we will when we go. #jbthankful #bearlake #sweetB #monthscloser
