Our Journey! How did we get here?
In the winter of 2019 we moved in to our self built van full time to begin living, working and travelling Canada. We quickly fell in love with chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path, living off grid and being self sustaining. We drove our van thousands of miles through various countries-Canada, USA, Mexico & Guatemala. All of which we documented here on our channel, be sure to check that out! After many years on the open road we found ourselves 15 acres of remote woods of Canada where we are building a homestead and renovating our fully off the grid cabin. We are diving into this chapter of our lives in no experience, we're so happy we can bring you all along as we learn to do it all with our own two hands. Thank you for being here with us for cabin life, van life and all the in between!

Give this video a thumbs up if we made you laugh or cry!! We certainly did both 🥲 Happy this video is finally live, we posted on our community page about the delay (subscribe + turn on notifications to be notified) we had major technical difficulties this morning with this upload. It’s been a YEAR since we last sat down to answer your questions- we love sharing more with you and getting vulnerable! See you Sunday Pack & think about singing up for therapy with BH 💛
Laughed and cried a bit. Especially the part of having to be afraid to tell people who you really are. My wife and I love you both. Thank you for making the world a better place.
You gals always make me laugh and also touch my heart. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Western New York state USA. I am 50% Canadian (England) 😄❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦
YEEEESSSSS!!! Phil is already baking dog 🐕 bone 🦴 cookies 🍪 on the odd chance you have a Meet & Greet in California! 🌞🫶🏻
The CA Pack 🐾 is a Strong 💪🏼 one! (Plus we have frozen yogurt 🍦 shops every 15 feet 😆) XOXO Mo & Phil 😽😻❤
You are both so sweet.
It's awesome to see you two being able to be yourselves in public knowing all my generation and older fought so hard to make happen!! 😊✌
As someone who was adopted, I love that you’re open to it. There are so many kids who need, and deserve, a safe home and loving family.
I agree 100%. Unfortunately, the stories that you hear the most about adoption, are the horror stories and the tragic experiences. I understand that not everyone feels like the luckiest kid on Earth because of adoption. In fact, some people have had unbelievably heartbreaking experiences and I genuinely feel deeply sorry for what they've been through.
But you rarely hear about the people who've had a truly amazing life BECAUSE they were adopted... by incredibly loving and wonderful people who've loved and provided the best life possible for their children, whether those children are biologically theirs or not. I thank God every day for my parents - and they ARE my parents. They've been my mom and dad from day one and they'll be my mom and dad until my last day. I could never even think of anyone else as my parents.
As cliche as it might seem to say it, parents aren't always just the people who "create" you or give birth to you. They're the people who've loved you and sacrificed for you and did their best to raise you to be kind and compassionate human beings. I am lucky enough to be one of those "children" who were given the chance to have an amazing life and I'll be forever grateful for it.
Anyway... I'll get off my soapbox now. I guess that I just needed to let people know that there's a very positive side of adoption because I live it every day. 💛😌
I am 73 and was adopted, at Birth, and was raised by an extremely loving mother and father. After watching you for the last couple of years, I know that if you decide to adopt or have children naturally, you two will make great parents. You love for each other show every time you put out a new video. I am looking forward to your next project, hope it's the lake home, and seeing you two working together as a team. You two are awesome!
Me too and I feel exactly the same way
How about a foster child this summer that might turn into an adoption? With fostering a child you not only get to give them the routine of life they need but think of the skills you can teach them! Some young man or woman could be 10 years old and know how to rehab a home, grow veggies in the greenhouse, care for pets, drive the UTV and garden tractor and so much more. Think of it as mentoring while fostering a child! PS: If your going to have a child of your own I nominate Porter to be "dad" in whatever capacity fits! :)
Crystal, thank you for your vulnerability - We all have some childhood situations that we don't want to share. You are not alone.
Thank you Sherry 💛 sending love to everyone who can relate, everyone’s been through something. Together it feels less alone.
Yes, Thank You, Jazz is Right your past made you the Strong Determined Perfectionist Woman that you are, to get things done As an adult, I realized my own perfectionism came from growing up, if I just made this thing PERFECT, I thought somehow I could Control The frickin Chaos that was going on, SO AS an adult, I have tried to Counterbalance that perfectionism, by buying a set of used plates Naming them, an issue, and breakin the hell out of em. It helps to change the behavior😅 and don't allow myself to clean it up for a week or so, then I used all those pretty broken pieces in a outdoor shower, cement floor
I have to share I’m a straight man always have been
I have no problems with gay or lesbian relationships
I hear you talking about your relationship and it makes me think of mine
I’ve been married now for going on twelve years now and me being married this long is the longest relationship I’ve been in
Pitiful when you hear I’m 63 yrs old
I’m an Alaskan Native and I have been an alcoholic for most of my life by choice if ya can believe that
Then in 2012 I met her and just stopped drinking no pressure no ultimatums just quit
When I couldn’t quit for court no quitting for family no one
My own mother and father died before I finally realized it does nothing for me
And she came into my life
Now I tease her once in awhile that I was an alcoholic and planned on dying alone and she ruined it
She knows I’m kidding but if not for her I’d still be drunk and alone
I can’t imagine life without her
I’ve told her she’s not allowed to die first cause I wouldn’t be able to handle it
Today we have 24 grandchildren and one great grandchild
Life is good and your videos add to my life thank you for your sharing
I hope the Great Spirit continues to bless you both
Your friend
Wow! It is great that you found your niche and are happy with being in it! Power to you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us 💛
She was just the medicine that you needed. Good on you. Keep up your happiness and health! You and your partner deserve it. Much Love, from Scotland, ❤️❤️ XX ...
What a beautiful testimony. So happy you found your person. Its such a blessing❤❤❤❤😊
You girls are just great❤️
Just so you two know… there is NOT one dad in this world who would not be so proud of the way you are turning out and doing what you do!! What a refreshing way to handle things.
Aww haha that’s such a sweet comment Ron! Thank you so much for being here
@@VanwivesI’m a father and a grandfather and I completely agree with Ron.
@@jimmyjenkins9240 you are soo very right ..I am a father, grandfather and a great grandfather !!! I can't agree with you more !!!
Absolutely, I agree! Ron
I think you're wrong..I would tell them to just buy the 2 extra properties quietly.. and finish a project before announcing more and more and more.. it is starting to seem like they went from living a modest and minimalist life to never having enough.. every toy , every tool etc. A van they don't use, 2 trucks, a tractor, a side by side, motorcycle, hot tub, sauna, greenhouse they won't use, on 3 properties.. excessive and often wasteful..I get the need for content.. but just like Tyler and todd.. they seem to have gotten so much money they cannot focus on what their dream really is.. it's become just consuming as much as possible.
As a 50 year old man from the Netherlands who has everything going for myself and my family I love watching homestead videos. I am following your channel for a long time now but you 2 girls always amaze me. One time with the building and perseverance, the other time with the way you grow and are able to aquire new properties. Now with the way you two are able to pass on true love, emotions, struggles and joy just in a video.
I wish I could express my respect for the two of you more than just virtually take off my hat and bow.
You 2 are very special human beings. I hope you let us be able to join you life journey through RUclips for a long long time and if you even do a meet-up, wherever I will try anything to join and shake hands.
Hey Rogierbanis and family! Thank you for sharing this with us. One of the most respectful comments I’ve ever received. We hope to share for a long long time. Thank you for watching us & coming through all the different chapters with us 💛
You guys should totally come to Australia you'll be very welcome
Inspirational, aren't they?
Ja heel handig om via you tube je zakken te vullen
A very good visit this week and I have no doubts that you will fulfill both your 5 year your 10 years goals. You both have the stick to it gene that is so necessary to accomplish whatever you set your minds too
Have a good week know I am recovering from back surgery and while this week has gone well, hoping that the coming week will be even better 😊
You ladies are a real joy to see. This world isn't always nice. When you look at each other you see the love for each other. Some people are to narrow minded, we just ignore those people. I think you both are beautiful and happy that's all that matters. ❤❤❤
Melissa, you filled up our hearts with your kind words! Thanks so much for being here 💛💛
I'm with Melissa. You two are just adorable together, and I would have words with anyone who gave you a hard time about.
Exactly this. I wanted to write something but I couldn't have said it better than what Melissa wrote, so I'll just go with "What she said!". Stay happy and please keep sharing, as we love going on your adventures with you.
I have been following your adventures since you started the videos. You are a very important part of my life. I am 81 years old and would be proud to have you as my granddaughters. Thank you so much. Much love.
Thank you for watching Jim. Sending love back to you. 💛🐶
I currently work for Big Brothers Big Sisters In Pittsburgh! I love to know that the work we put in really does make an impact! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for doing all that you do 💛 it changed my world
I just love you guys! You’re both beautiful and amazing people! I’m 62. Raised 4 kids as a single mom. 3 girls, 1 boy. Your answer about your single moms made me cry too! All my kids grew up to be strong independent adults just like you both. Watching your vlogs and your life together just makes my heart happy! Just want you to know that. Thank you! ❤
Awww so happy to hear your heart is happy- thank you for watching our videos. You’re strong Vicky!! Thanks for sharing that with us… Sending love from us four to you 💛
What the hell? I am blown away. Your honesty, your absolute dropping of barriers, your complete ability to communicate your past and future hopes and dreams. I have followed you two for four years. I am so happy l did.
I am a firm believer in that you only have one life, and you need to live it - fully, unapologetically, and you have to learn to love yourself before you can love anyone else. Your joy and smiles help to make the world a much brighter place. Just be happy!
Best comment Ever !!!!
LOVE it thank you so much for leaving these words here! 💛🥹
27:23 One of my favourite quotes is by Edwin Bliss:
The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy; the pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time.
I’ve no doubt you two will be awesome mothers with so much love to give, but also so much skills and experience to share and teach. Whatever child that comes into your life would be very lucky to have you both as parents. Love you & your pack💖🐾
Thank you for your kind words. Happy to have you in our pack.💛🐶
Last comment - this is a great Q & A vlog. I usually can't stand these - but this one really tied up some split ends. Raw and real. So much respect and love for both of you!
Ahh so glad you feel this way- thanks for letting us know 💛 appreciate you tuning in on Sundays after all these years xx
Totally, agree!!
Finding joy each day is my mantra. Thank you for sharing your joy in each video. What you choose to share will always be enough. Continue to make each day count.
I loved this Q & A. You two are so beautiful together. As I said before, watching you helped me through my breast cancer in 2023. I was so depressed at various times and watching you gave me hope. I can’t wait to see your next project at the new cabin.
Very special (and brave!) to hear you two talk so openly about all the subjects. A lot of respect for the both of you.
Thank you! Thanks for watching 💛
Your love for each other comes through loud and clear in each video. It’s the reason I watch you; for a dose of love! Love from me on the Maine Coast!!
You are both amazing souls. Thank you for sharing your lives and some of your history - I was in tears with you. You are both so positive and strong. Admire you both immensely.
Awww 🥹💛 thank you for leaving this comment! Lots of love from us 4
You girls are the example of how much love & care is more important in a childs upbringing than processions. Think everybody here proud if you and your achievements. Seems like you got the future sketched out, you gonna need Mexico for a break, what with sorting a spare cabin and upkeeping the homestead. Thanks for sharing and here's to the next year. Good to see the subs numbers slowly creeping up too, you deserve it. Take care and see you next week 💛
I wish you much happiness, and may all your dreams and goals come true. As a parent of two and now grandfather of four, I would offer that parenting pushes everything else to the side. Not regrettably, but watching someone else parent is not the same as being a parent. Our sons are now adulting and will sometimes ask how we found time for everything. We prioritized being parents, and some things got postponed, for a decade or two. Like travel that did not focus on our children or at least engage them. We are doing that now, in our 70s. Also one piece of advice we received that puzzeled us until we were doing it. One child keeps you busy. Two children will keep you 4 times busier. And approaching our 50th year of marriage I can say it has all been worth it. And even more. We like to buy Christmas ornaments each year that represent important chapters in our story. In that way our tree is our biography. Lots of ornaments are about our sons and now our grandchildren. Lately we are adding ornaments about our travels. That works for us and you will find what works for you. Thanks for sharing your story.
Loved reading this comment, so so special. Thank you for the inspiration and story of love 💛
I really enjoyed this Q&A. It did make me tear up, because the things the two of you talked about (especially your Mothers) really hit home with me. Thank you so much for sharing. 👍
I love this so much! So excited for all of the projects this year! Spring is right around the corner!
What a wonderful video. Thanks girls for sharing, and thanks Crystal for trusting us with information about your family and stuff. Lots of love for you two from Argentina ❤
You make a great couple, just be yourselves and enjoy your life!
That was sooo good. It is such joy watching you share portions of you life with all of us that love you 🥰 🥰🥰
I so love your randomness in your vlogs..and stoked that ceiling is finished😂😂..don't stress about posting full projects etc..the best things to watch are random.. love you girls ❤❤❤
I love when you do Q&As I feel like we get to know you more and your Journey through life, I also know how you feel about telling people who you love as I only came out 3 years ago and I’m still scared for people to know as I don’t know how people will react but I’m sure I will become braver as I get older. ❤
Two beautiful people. I love to watch the changes you have been making. Love it!
I kept getting chills listening to Crystal talk about her childhood and seeing/ hearing the way you support each other. I can relate to having a very challenged childhood, having complicated but still loving relationships with your parents and also, having become incredibly resilient as a consequence of, well, having to. I love this channel, thank you for sharing your stories with us!! Every video is so uplifting and inspiring💗💓
Having followed you since your van days it's great to learn so much more about you both now. I was also one of those fans who were so confused about what you were doing so thanks for some answers. Love ya! 🥰
Really love your Q&As! ❤
Seeing the shots of the cabin interior reminded me that you all should be featured in the Architectural Digest channel. I followed you all since you bought the cabin and I think the cabin transformation illustrates the grit, creativity and dedication that you bring to all your projects! Would love to see it showcased on AD.
Awww haha thank you so much!!! I don’t have words 💛 thank you for watching each sunday
You two bring out the best in each other. ❤❤
Aww how sweet of you to share. We agree. 💛🐶
Thank you for sharing. Hugs to you both. You are both such strong people and it's great that people get to see such great examples.
Thanks so much for sharing with us. Very interesting to hear about the many topics. Really appreciate how hard you both have worked to get to this point in your lives. Hope all your dreams and plans come true for you.
Thank you for being so transparent with us. And thank you for keeping some things, just for you.
I loved all of this.
Thank you for your understanding and support Ruthie! We’re so grateful to have you part of our community 💛
Yes love your sharing your life experiences joys and sorrows your love story is refreshing ,I am a straight male my first wife is lesbian who pushed Irvin my face but I like the way you ladies have just let it evolves . I wish you the best of everything.
I look forward to seeing your videos every Sunday along with your friends Tal and Mads, if I don’t see you my week starts out bad but I just look to see when you update and put out another video so I get my weekly dose of joy and inspiration I’ve enjoyed watching you ladies grow and learn new things and would live a meet and greet someday when your ready, I have so much to learn from your experiences and I am 67 years old. Keep up the great job your doing and love being a member of your pack, just wished I could buy you merchandise year round somewhere
I am so totally proud of you two and in awe of all of your accomplishments! You girls rock!! ❤
Thank you so much 🥹 appreciate you tuning in on Sundays 💛
Refreshingly honest- love you two!🥰
You girls are so real!! How could anyone question the love that you guys share so much!
Look forward to many more videos!!
I don't need to hear or see family or personal issues on the channel - you have the perfect right to keep parts of your life private! I just want to know that you are OK, and if you have a positive or difficult relationship. Don't need to know why. Glad to hear all the relationships are positive! Through all the difficulty, you both seem really blessed.
Thank you so much for the support… Appreciate you watching 💛
I wanna see y'all go to Australia and see max! ❤
Great answers to the questions, ladies. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Living your best life is all you can do - love that you both are being real.
My partner and I are an older version of you two down in Australia, living remotely off grid but not as much snow!
Love your vids & thanks for sharing 😊
Girls, never be afraid to be yourselves, you are wonderful together and it so shows through. I find your honesty so refreshing and just amazing, the world is & has changed and that is due to people like you girls, I see you are proud and you should be, I get you need to be safe but know most people now agree being happy and fulfilled is just what matters whatever shape that takes. Keep up the great work. Dave. Xx
Thank you, You Two are An inspiration to us all. From diversity and hard times, You rose above it, To where you are. The most beautiful people you are today!
Watching your growth since the last q &a is palatable. Thank you for taking us on that journey and being you as you. It's a wonderful example of a choice we may not have thought of ❤❤ I celebrate you both
Thank you for sharing your life and your vulnerability. You two make me smile and I look forward to your vlog posts on Sundays.
You two are incredable. First come back to Squamish for the meet and greet-you've been here before because I saw your van and that's how my wife and I started watching your channel. Second don't let perfection stop construction of a project. Or words to that effect. Also, First Nations don't consider imperfections as flaws, they're "Spirit Marks". If either one of you looks at the other and thinks, " What a strong, muscular person, she is." It's nothing to what females can do with their bodies when they're pregnant. My first wife turned into a superhuman from being a very non-athletic person. Expect that, it's fantastical.
I do worry about people going anywhere in the States nowadays, unless you were a cis-straight couple. I remember when I was in my teen and 20's and no passport was required and it felt welcoming and safe down there. I'm glad you were safe and felt so in Florida.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I can’t believe you saw our van there 🥹 we will be back one day… thank you for sharing all of that with us!! Love it all 💛 Yes unfortunately you need to be weary about where you go these days. Enjoy spring on the west coast xx
I love the insight to your lives and what makes you, you!
This is the first time I heard that Jaz went to school to be a teacher… as a young teacher who isn’t finding the most joy, I have always found content like yours to be an escape or maybe even a window into a way I could live one day.
Thank you for doing what you guys do. You are so much more to me than content creators. You are truly role models, medicine, and joy!❤️
Teaching can be a challenge these days. Please know that there are many different forms of teaching. There is a whole world out there! Also remember, you have but one life...make sure you put your happiness at the top of the list. Good luck, you can do whatever you want!
Love you both for being real and how much you love each other. You both are amazing and not afraid to work hard. Love your dogs . You both would be great moms.😊
You two are just so happy! Thanks for sharing your fun journey!!!
It is. sad that any of us have to be afraid of what others might think. You guys are such a neatest gals 🙂
Going to rewatch for your view count, cant wait to see your future path and plans!
Thank you for the support Courtney 💛💛
@@Vanwives Anytime, thank you for being your amazing selves!
I really liked your take on conflict and learning how to ‘fight better’ rather than avoiding it all together. As a man who is happily married for over 15 years, I couldn’t agree more and wanted to let you know that this resonated with me.
Congratulations on your happy marriage! Thanks for sharing with us.💛🐶
You two make my heart happy as I remember how fun it is to love someone. Keep having lots of fun.❤️
Just an idea. When building the second cabin, you should have other youtube friends come in and do a room. All of it! They make the furniture, decorate, etc. Then you call it their room. Would be great content for both channels.
Everyone always says this sort of thing and it's a terrible idea. Why would you leave the decor of each room to different people. The house would look so weird and disjointed.
@@Qrtuop They wouldn't be picking out random people. They'd have friends they knew and they could trust.
I am so pleased to hear your future plans for the cabin, after all the hard work you both have put into. It saddens me knowing that it is obvious you love each other, and you can't show your feelings in public everywhere you go. Love should be freely given to nice people.
That is why I always say, love from Mike ❤❤
This is such a great way to know you both. Thanks for your openness. ❤❤
Thanks for sharing 🥰 If you have any tips about how to argue healthier in a relationship I would love to see a video about that, I am learning so much this year about attachment styles etc that helps to improve the dynamics in a relationship
You ladies are so, well to put it simply, special people. you make me laugh, cry and sometimes both. Love this pack of yours!
Awww thank you for being here 💛
LOVED this video! Thank you for sharing such personal things with us. You are strong and amazing!
Thank you for being here to listen 💛💛💛
Thanks for the candid conversation. ❤
I'VE SEEN YOU BOTH for years now, and there is real , IS LOVE, and authenticity, thank you both, only can say RESPECT to you 2 and a lot of LOVE too, thanks for sharing your life, is not easy and is brave, as you are, TY TY TY and thank you
Not being able to be yourself - and being uncomfortable in your relationship at times is really maddening and it made me stop the vlog - and write this. I'm teared up right now. Sometimes I hate the world we live in. I don't know... it just makes me sad.
I totally concur with your beautiful comment...but please...don't give any hateful energy to those little tiny specs of germs that unfortunately live amongst us and somehow pass as human beings. Keep being the awesome and wonderful person that you are, and know that people like you and the vanwives keep a large part of our world turning and functioning in the best way possible.❤❤❤
@@Justbeoktoday Awww - thank you. 💚💚💚
Max would be an excellent collaboration partner for kids 😉
Thank you for such a sincere look at your lives. I’m so happy for you both and it’s so obvious that you are so happy together. Enjoy your life and it’s nice that you share it with us.😊
Solid plan ladies! Super excited about you’re future and you’re journey❤❤❤
Wow, I normally never watch the Q&A’s, but for some reason I did today, your lifes and struggles hit a note with my owns so deeply that you make me cry. We all go through struggles in our life, my ones could fill a few books, but it is how you come at the end of it what it counts, and boy that you came amazing, all my respect to you and your lovely, wonderful and incredibly resilient mums. xxx
Well we’re so grateful you took the time today to watch ours 💛 AND leave a comment!! it’s true we all go through things, I’m glad we could share and I know so many people can relate and feel a little less alone. We appreciate you watching xx
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last one! Also, it’s CRAZY how proud I am of yall - I literally remember venmoing yall one time years ago when the van was broke down and you were struggling! Look at you now!!! Looking forward to what’s to come, and hopefully I can make it to a meet and greet someday!
Laughed and cried! 🥰This was such a touching video, so happy for the two of you! And so excited to see what the future brings!
Hi ladies , those were some very heartfelt questions. Some really tugged at the heart ❤️ strings . Yall are wonderful women . I wish you both the very best in life. Yall will be amazing moms . The earlier the better , Patience start to wear the older you get. Good luck to you both.
I am 80 guy and I follow the two of you because you live life. What you do and how you do it is exceptional . The two of you are a good example of how to get things done. You definitely are a living example of how to follow your dreams. Thank you for sharing and honest answers. Bless the two of you and keep, keeping on.
THAT was GREAT ! ! ! IT IS GOOD THAT YOU DO THAT BE HONEST Ithink it will help others to be more open and honest.
Not only does it help yourself but others too. TAKE CARE and STAY WELL ALL
That was a lovely video, thanks for sharing. Just to say I think you both did a fantastic job on the beams your ceiling looks amazing x
That was absolutely beautiful had a little tear ❤❤
Love to your mom! And to you both!
Thank-you for all your honesty. You both are such fun people to spend time with. And of course your bad times together are private. My wishes for you are for all that you both want for the future come true. 💓
Wow! Inspirational! I cried a couple times. Love you guys!
Such a coool vid. Love watching you Moe. Being open vulnerable is a beautiful trait. Keep on keep on. Keep on keeping on.
Laughing and crying! Thanks for allowing us to come along on your adventurous life. This winter seems to have been different for many couples your age. Best wishes from Florida❤️❤️
Great q and a..thank you ,and congratulations on your upcoming build/ property for your future winter time/ living...your both doing amazing things!!!..❤
What a lovely video and thank you for sharing. I really love you both and very much enjoy watching your life and travels. I bet your mom's are so proud of you. As a single mother myself, I sure would be. Happiness is sometimes a very hard thing to find and/or sustain and you are doing a wonderful job.
Hi Ladies! My wife and I have been watching you for years, love your videos, authenticity, and vulnerability! So relatable and easy to connect with, and your projects have inspired us to do some handywork on our own too. We also relate to not “outing” ourselves in public unless we feel safe.. thank you for sharing that real reality our community deals with. You both make a great team together, and we know you’ll make great mothers no doubt about it!! Thank you for being super real and bringing up things about your family life, relationship, and about “fighting better”. I study relationships (school) and have 2 great book recommendations that just came out a few months ago if you’d like to learn more about Attachment styles (childhood impacts emotional development and communication and conflict skills as an adult) and how to fight more productively/healthily. These are life changing books for better communication and strengthening relationships: 1) Secure Love by Julie Menanno (Marriage and Family therapist) and 2) Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection by Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD, and John Gottman, PhD (renowned Couples therapist and researchers). Look forward to continuing watching your exciting journey ahead!!!
Wow Blair, thank you for sharing with us all your knowledge. We will definitely look into the books. We are so happy to have you in our pack. 😊🐶
This was so awesome how you shared so much of your being and your way. Esbecially when Crystal talked about her big sister! I was a bbbs coordinator in Germany until the program was ended (not a nice story). I always felt that this program really can do so much, for both the kid and the adult. So happy that you got such a nice big sister! And what you told about growing together in the relationship, also touched me a lot. Everyone who can say, we both grow together and our relationship grows as well, can be so thankful and happy. All the best to you both!
You girls have inspired me so much. My situation is not good but watching you two tackle all the projects made me believe that I could do it too. I don't have anyone to help me but I have fixed and repaired some plumbing and redid my kitchen and even did tile which I never did before. You just made me realize that I could figure it out if I put my mind to it.
Pause this moment at the lake cabin, the names you both have received EPIC think about it. How Dramatic and Beautiful the Jasmine flower is and the Strength and majestic beauty of the Crystal ❤ Rockin Roll
Love you two so much. The honesty and authenticity made this video EPIC! Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing, I love you ladies, you’re amazing and I wish I had even a small amount of your talent and motivation. Your life together is so special, and beautiful, and I truly hope that it is always this way. The foundations you have literally built together, is what will keep you both strong and able to navigate the hard times that life will inevitably throw your way, the things you don’t share publicly and that test your patience and sanity. Well done, you have proven that people can achieve their dreams and create a beautiful sanctuary in this crazy and unpredictable world we live in. Bless you both ❤
Love you guys!!! Thank you for sharing!❣🥰
I love you epic souls!!!! I’ve been following your journey since you have been in the van. It feels like the years has just flown by. I’m a fellow traveler and your stories have inspired and encourage me to take even more leaps of faith and adventures into this world. I would love to meet in California for a meet and greet. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING SO MUCH thank you for documenting your lives and experience with such humor and inspiration. I love your content and aspire to being doing something similar in the near future. I’ve dreamed for years of a tiny home eco village some where in nature, and document the experience. Keep up the magic 🧚♂🧚♀
Thanks for sharing such a personal side of you both!! Not easy to just sit and talk about these things! You both can be very proud of you, such hard workers and as the old saying goes, hard work pays off💪🏽👍. So many exciting adventures ahead, looking forward to watching it unfold! Would love to meet up, but not going to California when I only live 45 minutes away....lol
