Family & Home

We currently live in a 4-bedroom, 1 ½-bath two story home in Selinsgrove, PA with our three kitties. Selinsgrove is a small town about an hour north of Harrisburg, the state capitol, that we have grown to love over the years. It was a bit of a change for us coming from larger cities like Waco and Austin, TX. We love that so much of the town is within walking distance: the university, the local schools, the public library, the downtown area with some shopping and restaurants, as well as several small parks and playgrounds. We love riding our bikes in the hills and along the river and can’t wait to be able to bring our child along with us, even if they sleep through it all! (Caleb’s mom tells the story of how she used to take him riding on the back of her bike when he was little and he just slept through it all). We have gotten to know our neighbors, which has been nice and not something that we were able to do in bigger cities. It is nice to live in a neighborhood where people will shovel the snow on your sidewalk for you just because they were already out doing their own. We often will take baked goods to our neighbors and they will trade us fruits and vegetables from their gardens. We think it is a very friendly community and a great place to build our family. 

While Selinsgrove itself is small, we are also very close to a lot of big cities. We often take day trips to some of the closer cities, like Harrisburg, and will take weekend trips to New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. We haven’t made it to Washington, DC yet, but really want to get there and go to all of the museums. We love visiting bigger cities and enjoy the diversity of the city and taking in as much of the culture, history, and food as possible. We have been lucky enough to see quite a few shows in NYC on Broadway and have started to become familiar enough with the city that we are branching out beyond the tourist stuff and getting to see more of the city as a whole.
