Our previous life seems father away than ever. And yet, we are still learning how to live our new one. It has been five months since setting out on the open road and we can honestly say that it hasn’t at all been what we expected.

Perhaps we have too much and are like children running wild with it. Regardless, for the time being, we are happy to run.
