Van build.

Empty van! 

Started with a good clean. 
The floor went in first (my project). 
Our luxurious garage/work shop built out of Amazon boxes and a picnic table. 
Wiring and insulation was next. Then the paneling of the ceiling and walls. 
More panelling, you can see the sheep wool insulation behind Felix with working lights! 
Me working hard while Felix plays around. 
Working outlets and full solar/electric system! 
Nice clean view before the bed/cabinets went up. Handmade insulated window covers. 
Our additional very luxious working space to build cabinets, the living room.

Bed frame! 
Felix the electrician. 
Cabinets/kitchen counter. 
Butcher block kitchen counter with sink cut out and backsplash wallpaper. 
Garage space in the back. 
Sink and portable propane stove. 
Felix the carpenter.

Felix learned how unfortunate it is that he is the most inflexible person in the world. 
There she is!

A summarized process of the van build! Felix spent a lot of time learning, planning and building while I spend a lot of time sewing, painting and holding things in place while he worked on them haha. We are very very happy with our outcome! I had a great time, Felix saye he would never do that again haha.

    Should have started your own PBS series and call it This Old Van

Squamish

SQUAMISH. This winter Felix and I started to really realize that our time in the van was limited. We knew that by the end of the year we would be back to jobs, settling into a new home, and possibly having a child. SO what did we want to do with this precious time? I've known for a long time that Squamish is Felix's favorite place, even with just a short week here last summer he always tells anyone who asks that its his favorite place. So I said to Felix one night (possibly a little tipsy) "Why don't we just completely change plans and instead of going back to the East Coast we just go straight to Squamish and stay for as long as we can?" He looked at me like I handed him a gift he didn't know he wanted.  So after Sweden, we made some stops to see friends and booked it straight to Squamish. It was the best decision and probably not for the reasons that you might think. Those reasons were:  1. Pickleball and the people that came with it 2. Our favorite restaura...

🌵Ranch Wedding Weekend🐄

Those are some genuine smiles. This post is LONG but loaded with so much love and support and fun, a little behind the scenes look at what went into making our big day happen and photos that captured the whole weekend feel which was everything we wanted and more!  A true ranch experience start! The first week Felix and I were on the ranch, Mom had noticed a new calf that had not moved in days. So we were advised to take her into the vet.. We are all new to the ranch hand situation as my Grandpa took care of all of that before he passed away this fall. So my mom drove the truck, I warded off momma cow while Felix picked up the calf and we placed her in the back of the truck! It was actually easier than we thought, but a new experience for all of us. I ended up naming the calf Zosa (parazosa means lazy in Spanish) which I felt a little bad about once we learned that she wasn’t moving because her momma was too old and was not producing any milk for her to drink.  SO we ended up t...
