👀 a peak inside our pantry drawer 🫣

We spent a good amount of time thinking of storage and spaces to call home to all of our items.
And man has it been a work in progress! We now have names for all spaces in the van to refer to where things are. 😅

This top removable tray is for all of our spices to take out when we cook. Under are bulk pantry items like rice, polenta, oil, salt, etc.

☁️ Definitely has not been a bad stay waiting for a part in Idaho Falls ☁️

Spent the day waterfall-seeing along the river, a little bar crawl, and consignment shop finds 😊🤩

In life, we first breathe, then learn, then plan, and finally adapt. Learning (and continuing to do so) to adapt to new circumstances never gets old…which is both so excited and so dismaying. To see how much there is to learn and see …yet to know the futility of our lives pulls up this inner swirl of activity…
Yes, a paradox.

This has been life on the road…but in many ways, at least for us, life off the road as well, in a box that’s in another bigger box, which we call home.

What do you currently call home?

🟠 Apparently, table saws aren’t kind with small cuts 😬😅 🟠

🟠 Yes, I still feel this months after this happened… and no I haven’t seen a doctor because it felt like a bad bruise. There are muscle@bruises, bone bruises and, I guess, skin bruises?…oh well! Feeling good for now! 😅 life is short right?

😂 It wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies 🌈 these pics were 3 days apart, 1 week before we officially left our apartment!

We went back and forth on many topics and areas of concern I had even up until the day we packed our storage unit!

🟣 🧊 it’s the little things that can make a big difference 🧊 🟣

This little 1/2 gallon jug is what we refill ice with…at friends homes, gas stations or hotels. Our yeti cooler keeps for 5-7 days with it after refilling.

It’s not the most convenient but works until we can afford a domestic fridge. 😃🥶

🟠 Our dear friend Matt advised us to put rubber between anything that is wood and metal at the beginning of our build. It probably saved us a lot of future construction! Thanks so much 🟠
