We survived our first night in the wild boondocking. It wasn’t easy getting to our spot and nerves were definitely on edge. Let’s just say words were exchanged between husband and wife. 🤣 RV friends, have you ever had to say “Sorry for the things I said while backing up the camper”??
One of the hardest parts of PPD is feeling incapable. Learning something new? Feels impossible. That’s like torture for a creative. Being unable and paralyzed when it comes to trying something new. Since we launched in to fulltime travel almost 3 years ago, I’ve tried to learn night photography probably 6 times. Jason would see the struggle and help each and every time. I just couldn’t do it. Tonight, when I peeked out after getting Zachary to bed, I was able to see the Milky Way with a blind eye! I’ve never once seen it without a telescope. So, I decided to try again. […]
Idaho might just be America’s best kept secret. Goodness it’s gorgeous here. Not a single potato in sight 🤣 Have you been to Idaho? Did it surprise you?
We love it here. A lot. We have a very short list of places we’d like to build a small cabin to use as a home base someday. We added Midway to the list, it drew us in so quickly. There’s a Swiss influence here that is so very charming. It checks off a lot of our wishes on the list and we are so glad we stopped here. We will be sad to say goodbye when we head to Idaho this weekend.
Yesterday we took our very first train ride on the road to celebrate my birthday. Y’all. It was so hot and pretty miserable. It didn’t even occur to me that it wouldn’t be air conditioned when we booked it. We coped ok until we went through the woods and all the mosquitos hopped on board too. 😣 The views were beautiful on the Heber Creeper though!
It’s my 45th birthday today and I received the most precious gift. As a long time birth photographer, I’ve captured the stories of so many births. But it wasn’t until recently that I realized I didn’t know much about my own. I asked my mom to write it out for me as a birthday gift this year. Instead, she audio recorded it in 3 parts, their fertility struggles, her pregnancy and my birth. All in her own words and it just means the world to me. 🥰 I was a miracle baby and a shocking surprise, so it’s a fun story. Thanks mom!
