We No Longer Live In a House?

We did it. We are out! We still can’t believe everything came together so perfectly. Other than the fact that we are still fairly exhausted, we couldn’t be happier. I don’t do many “real time” posts to the blog, but this one is pretty important I think.

For starters, we are extremely grateful. Grateful to friends, family, neighbors, ward members who helped us clean, our Instagram traveling family, and to the many people who bought our stuff. 🙂 We couldn’t have done this on our own. Taking 10 years of married life, kids, and a house full of belongings down to a 188 sq foot Airstream, the back of a truck and a 5×10 storage unit was a lot of work.

We’ll have more detailed posts in the future (final post about the remodel, our House Cooling Party, the Storage Unit and still many, many backdated adventure reports) but for now we are relaxing in Bryce Canyon for a week for some much needed decompression and recovery. What a perfect way to start this new chapter of our lives!

This Week on Instagram June 14-20 2014

I seriously cannot believe everything we’ve accomplished in the last week! Final yard & tool sale, multiple trips to the storage unit, Father’s Day, Jess’ birthday, a trip to the theater, emptying the house, throwing a House Cooling Party, and finally pulling away! WE DID IT! I think we are all SO exhausted nothing has even sunk in yet. Give me a week in Bryce Canyon and I”ll let you know how we feel after that. 😉

Wandering Update: Getting Rid Of Our Stuff

As you can imagine things have been a bit crazy around here. We have been working like crazy people trying to sell the rest of our belongings, as well as finishing up projects in the Airstream.

Here’s a look at our progress on the house, and what we still need to accomplish by FRIDAY! Ahhhh! I might be freaking out just a little.

Work, Projects & Play in Utah

This Week on Instagram June 7-13 2014

Travel Dates: June 7-13, 2014

Work projects and play. That’s pretty much what our week has been. Sam doing work projects, and Jess playing with the kids. I think its a toss up as to who is more tired. Sam installed our new skylight, put the rain covers over the vents, strung wire for the new internet antenna, and finished up the bike rack for the back of the truck. We also found and bought our final bike: a cyclocross! We are super excited about that. We visited Hale Center Theater in Orem for their production of Peter Pan, and Jess took the kids to the Discovery Children’s Museum in SLC for a fun day of play!

Published! My Article in Chic Magazine

I was recently asked to write an article for Chic Magazine about travel photography. Coming from a lifestyle background, I decided to write about some tips and tricks to take better photos while on vacation and traveling (similar but not exactly like this blog post) titled “On the Road – Capturing Stories Through Travel Photography”. My landscape photo skills aren’t quite up to snuff, but throw a person in there and I’m golden.

You can check out the magazine and purchase a digital or print copy  (there are some great articles by other amazing photographers!) here: http://chiccritiqueforum.com/issue10/
