Thankful Thursday (on a Friday)
Vacation!
- Sleeping in a cabin with the family. It’s all the fun of camping without having to set up a tent!
- S’mores, grilled hot dogs, and mid-morning pizza that was reheated on the fire
- A wife who can plan out an entire vacation, yet be willing to change itinerary on a moment’s notice
- A job that I can just leave at the office without having to worry about who’s going to do what or how certain things are going to get done
- Campfires!
- Playing Apples to Apples well into the night and laughing until I cannot breathe
- Beaches, sand, kites, and fishing
- Visiting a lighthouse that Christy has wanted to see in-person for as long as she can remember
- A lake that looks like the ocean without the salty smell
- The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo and Aiden’s newfound interest in World War II aircraft (plus F-14s & SR-71s)
- Dreading coming home, simply because we didn’t want the fun to end
- Having to wash my hair three separate times after getting home, just to get the smell of campfire smoke off of me
- An awesome wife and some pretty amazing kids that make vacations oh-so worth it!
There’ll be more vacation memories shared in detail in the very near future. But for now, I want to say that my heart is full with the memories we made during an amazing four days in Michigan!

Howdy. I'm Matt. My wife, Christy, and I have four kids and two dogs, I'm passionate about orphan care. I'm a die-hard fan of the Evansville Aces, the Indiana Hoosiers, and Star Wars. I'm trying to live life by the Todd family motto: "It behooves us to live!"
