About Stefani

I am so many things but the first thing that I am is a follower of Jesus Christ. Every post mentioned here represents a season or experience in my walk to know of Him better. I currently run a Bed & Breakfast with my husband in a small town west of DFW. We are on the border of the big city and the country and almost all of my posts reflect my kicking and screaming thoughts about assimilating in such a place. These are the musing of a city girl / restless inn keeper / wife of a bearded Swedish man. Our dogs Marzipan & Faraday will be mentioned pretty often.
