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. 🤷🏼♀️ It's been a year full of unexpected adventures. If you … Continue reading Have a Very Merry Christmas 🎄
I know that I haven’t updated in a while. Pretty much since we bought the van, but there’s a reason for that. I’m bummed. We bought the van 13 days ago, and we still haven’t been able to start on it. Nothing seems to be going right lately... Here’s the thing. We knew there were … Continue reading When Nothing Seems to go Right.
She’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.

We took her to the Smokies for the Great Smoky Mountain Marriage Retreat and stayed at the Pigeon Forge KOA. While everything went fairly well, there were a few … Continue reading What We Learned on Our First Trip in The Russ Bus
You ever had one of those days where nothing goes right? Today was one of those days. I’m about ready to give up on the bus and start building an ark. It’s been raining for approximately 40 days and 40 nights here, and our yard has turned into a swamp. I don’t know if you … Continue reading Tiny House, Big Frustrations
Sometimes life happens, and you don’t get as much done as you hoped. This was one of those weekends. We did manage to get a couple of things done in the Russ Bus, so I thought that deserved an update. We started by framing in the windows. I really love how the wood makes it … Continue reading Weekend Update
I know it has been a while since I have updated, but we have been crazy busy lately! It has taken two weekends, but we finally got the subfloor down! If this project has been any indication of how long the entire conversion will take, we may not be done until 2035. This is what … Continue reading Slowly, but Surely
