2021 in Review

2021 in Review

When reflecting on 2021, the most obvious thing that stands out to us is how much time we spent traveling. Each month is remembered by where we were going; time was measured by how many hours we spent in the car; it was the year we counted counties and not days. And besides that, it was a year full of… Read More

2020 in Review

2020 in Review

On December 31, 2019, Curtis and I watched the last sunset of the year on Haleakala. Making it through 2019 felt like a huge accomplishment.

In that regard this post is no different, but because of the current global situation, we’ve had a few more logistics and obstacles in our way. Since we have… Read More

June 2020

June 2020

After finding out in May that we’d be moving in July, June became all about trying to accomplish as much as we could to make the move go smoother. Right now, we feel satisfied that we have taken care of almost everything that is in our control. Now all that’s left is for the Navy to issue us our PCS… Read More
