MINI MOVIE // The Conex Conundrum
Our effort to prepare an affordable (and big enough) space to store our belongings that are not coming with us to Florida.
DESTINATION: Farm // Spending time with family before we leave

DESTINATION: Boat Shopping // We’re buying a boat and don’t even know how to sail!
That’s right! We are buying a boat and don’t even know how to sail! (But we’re learning!) Our new video is coming out soon and it’s all about the process we went through to find a boat including the how, what, when, where and WHY!

These last few days we’ve spent a few hours on her and I am learning a lot, unfortunately what I am learning is that I knowContinue reading “Captain’s Log 6/8/20”
About us, why we’re selling our stuff and moving to Florida to buy a boat!
The introduction of Steve, Randi, and Cody from Colorado…and why in the world we’re selling all of our belongings, packing up our van, heading to Florida, and buying a catamaran!
DESTINATION: Packing // How’s this going to fit??
We packed up our stuff early in order to rent our house. Little did we realize that 39 days is a REALLY short amount of time to get it done…but…we did it!
