2022 LIFE UPDATES & TRAVELS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

From Colorado to the Pacific Northwest, this year was another exciting year full of exploration! With the van conversion completed, we spent the entire summer exploring the PNW and the pacific coast. Oh, and we bought 11 acres of paradise for ourselves in the Evergreen State, so I’m adding a new blog section that will focus on the development of this land and the future building of a bridge & tiny home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
