Rachel and I have been reminiscing about one of our very first nights on the road. It was February in Texas, and we had an entire state park campground all to ourselves. We sat outside the van with our feet propped up on a picnic table, feeling free and untethered, our entire journey ahead of us. We moved into the van to reclaim joy, experience struggle, and to grow together and as individuals. We needed the great adventures that van life could provide, and we needed the lessons that it would teach us. We needed to feel alive again; to rediscover passion and to remember the nervous excitement born of uncertainty. Today, on the edge of a new adventure, we feel the same excitement and anticipation. This evening we’ll move out of the van and into a house (that isn’t much bigger than the van, honestly) that’s surrounded by the mountains we love most, in the part of the country where we feel most rooted. I’d be lying if I said this turning of the page doesn’t make me emotional, but I’m not sad. Instead, I’m full of gratitude and love. We have heads and hearts packed with memories that will never fade. This van life journey has been everything we didn’t know we needed. And so, this adventure continues with a different sort of backdrop. Regardless of the place or vehicle we call home, the journey of love and growth rolls on. . . . #thenanvan #vanlife #tinyhouselife #adventureon #journey #love #gratitude #groundskeeper4life #womenontheroad #sheexplores #828isgreat #asheville #notsellingthevan

It makes perfect sense that you were born the same time of year the Magnolia trees bloom. Much like their flowers, you are strong and beautiful, and, like their branches, adventurous and fun. * This past year has been full of adventures, and I’m incredibly thankful to have shared them with you. From the tops of mountains to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and all the lonely highways and long trails in between, we’ve lived some big dreams. For your patience, your kindness, your humor, and your spirit, I am full of gratitude and love. * Here’s to the start of a new year and a new handful of dreams to realize, together. Happy birthday, Rachel!

Our Easter-on-bikes tradition continues, this time in our home mountains. The forest floor was electric after days of rain; Fiddleheads unfurling everywhere and tiny flowers bursting through wet dirt. We feel rejuvenated, too. There’s nothing quite like springtime in the Appalachians. . . . #thisisourchurch #thenanvan #828isgreat #appalachians #ridebikesbehappy #springtime
