why such a drastic move?

during last summer's 6-week road trip out west, we began to realize how little we need to live off of. what is all this 'stuff' we crowd our lives with?....two sets of dishes...three toilets...an oversized frisbee...47 gallons of paint...16 blankets...a kitchen table and dining table...2 cars...
what if we cut down, decide to only live off of what we really need? granted, all we physcially need is food, water, shelter, and maybe some clothing. take these necessities a level up and consider only owning what you use, what is functional for you and your family. we realize that each individual functions differently, so this inventory will always be variable.

these thoughts snowballed over the last year, as we began to dream up and design a small homestead. when picturing where this home might be, we couldn't quite picture it in cincinnati. we also realized that this won't be happening anytime soon. so we decided to take the next few years to scope out new areas, begin new adventures, and experience new places, people, under the same God.

seeing how we don't know much about the lifestyle in the pacific northwest, we decided to start there. we have a studio apartment (semi-) lined up for us in downtown seattle. no jobs as of now, but confident that we will land some. so we packed up our uhaul and drove off toward the sunset.
