It begins...

Last night we spent our first night camping under the stars on Stansbury Island.  It feels so surreal to finally be where we are right now- months and months of planning, thousands of miles behind us, the emotional task of leaving our home and most of our possessions, the vision, the risks, our hope for the future- everything is beginning to manifest in the physical world after so many nights of dreaming... It truly feels as though we are walking a great threshold where one chapter ends and the next begins. We are overwhelmed with gratitude! A new home and a new style of living where we can grow together as a family, live more simply, closer to nature, with freedom to move around as citizens of this big, beautiful planet. There is still a lot of work for us to do to make this dream a reality, but everyday we get a little bit closer. I remember the saying, "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." The seeds have been planted.
