on our way to vanlife ! watching and making sure he doesnt hurt himself. today we are working on the basic platform in our new 2020 ford connect.

we are three months shy of living in our van full-time. cutting our rent in half, getting solar, the van is already a wifi hotspot, and we already live a minimalistic lifestyle but stressing out on california prices >n <
this is a lifestyle choice, a choice a lot of have made - lots of negatives but also positives if you plan or are very familiar with your area OR if you are traveling. i dont recommend it for everyone.

i love naming my vehicles but having a difficult time naming this new baby. its a shinny gray - was thinking of a metal-like pokemon. we plan to put the name across the front cause the hubby wants to deck it out a tad more (car dudes xD)

i am so excited! we are so excited! :3



50% done - getting the top platform and the flooring ^^

@Dimples: This is quite the adventure you two are starting! You're obviously excited about it... which is good. I, for one, couldn't do something like this. Maybe before the family but certainly not now. But if you can make it work, and it helps you accomplish your longer-term goals, then go for it! :)

@dimples: Oh wow! I'm so excited for you! It looks like you're both putting so much thought and effort into this massive project, so I truly hope it works out lovely for you both! Starting a new adventure is always so exciting and nerve wrecking but it's also fun! I hope you both have a ton of fun with this and just enjoy what life has to offer. :3
