And… Done.

After weeks of working (and procrastinating ๐Ÿ˜…), Van Levinson Gould is finally done! Well, I say she's done, but what I really mean is that she's done for now. I think there will probably always be something that we'll be working on or adding to. Still on the list is curtains for the windows, but … Continue reading And… Done.

Making Plans

Weโ€™re getting down to the wire. We knew when we started conversion #2, that we would probably hit the road before it was totally done. After spending over a year on the bus, I just wasn't prepared to stay in one place for such a long time again getting a van ready. I am itching … Continue reading Making Plans

Weekend Van Update ๐Ÿš

Hey, yโ€™all! Weโ€™ve gotten a lot done over the last couple of weeks, so I thought it deserved a little bit of a blog update. To start off, hereโ€™s a little progress picture. It may not look like a lot just yet, but there has been a lot going on behind the scenes too. Everything … Continue reading Weekend Van Update ๐Ÿš

And so it Begins.

Have a Very Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„

This year has been one for the history books, for sure. So many things have happened that it seems silly to share anything about our lives. Our dreams seem unimportant in the grand scheme of things. But here I am... still writing about it. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ It's been a year full of unexpected adventures. If you … Continue reading Have a Very Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„

When Nothing Seems to go Right.

I know that I havenโ€™t updated in a while. Pretty much since we bought the van, but thereโ€™s a reason for that. Iโ€™m bummed. We bought the van 13 days ago, and we still havenโ€™t been able to start on it. Nothing seems to be going right lately... Hereโ€™s the thing. We knew there were … Continue reading When Nothing Seems to go Right.

#VanLife, Here We Come!

We did it! We bought a van! ๐Ÿš In case you missed our Instagram story, let me catch you up... We found a van online that we LOVED and took off for Miami earlier this week. Now, weโ€™ve been dreaming about and looking vans ever since we decided to sell the bus several weeks ago, … Continue reading #VanLife, Here We Come!

The Blog Formerly Known as The Russ Bus

Sheโ€™s been sold - The Russ Bus no longer belongs to us! We spent almost a year and a half turning that old bus into our dream tiny house, and she drove away without us last night. It felt strange to be left behind, but Iโ€™m so excited for the new owner (give her a … Continue reading The Blog Formerly Known as The Russ Bus

A Day in our Skoolie Life

Weโ€™ve been in South Dakota for a week! Weโ€™ve seen snow, The Badlands, Custer State Park, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Mount Rushmore, and some beautiful sights. ๐Ÿ˜ Itโ€™s getting colder and snowy, so Rett decided to go and get some supplies in case we get stranded. ๐Ÿ˜ณ This is the first time we have been … Continue reading A Day in our Skoolie Life

Headed North ๐ŸšŒ

This is it! Yesterday we took off on our longest trip by far - at 1,437 miles. So far, the trip has been pretty easy, and weโ€™ve made great time. While Iโ€™m writing this, weโ€™re driving through the middle of Missouri - almost half way there! Before we left, we spent three weeks in Prattville … Continue reading Headed North ๐ŸšŒ
