About

The Florer-Bixlers have been married for a little over a year and live in NE Portland, OR. We work jobs we sometimes like and sometimes don’t. The rest of the time we go to a Mennonite church, spend time with our friends in l’Arche and try to communicate thoughtful theology and updates about life together on this blog. Actually, only Melissa writes the blog. Jacob reads.

In late August our family will grow by one.

Our blog title comes from the Bob Dylan song by the same name off the “New Morning” album.

“Build me a cabin in Utah,
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout,
Have a bunch of kids who call me “Pa,”
That must be what it’s all about,
That must be what it’s all about.“
