Yesterday we celebrated our second Shalex Valentine’s Day and our first one in the tiny house! Rather than try to find the best restaurant to celebrate, we thought the evening would be more memorable if we made dinner at our new home. We loaded up the grill, plates and utensils, and a couple of bottles of vino, and headed to St. Johns to buy our tacos and s’mores fixings. Because we are fancy.

It was a lovely evening, complete with a candlelit dinner, s’mores, and cozy campfire conversation. It’s crazy to think that the next Valentine’s Day we celebrate we’ll actually be living in the tiny house! The last few months have been surreal. The summer talks about “wouldn’t it be cool to build a tiny house?” seem like they were a million years ago. A lot has happened between then and now and we’ve both had our fair share of ups and downs. Having this project and this new home on the horizon, though, has helped as we’ve been making our way through it all. There’s a lot to be said for living in the moment, but sometimes the focus needs to shift toward the future and reaching for what’s in front of you.

With that being said, stay tuned for more details on our recent progress. Until next time… carry on, friends!
