Trailer pickup fail #1

Deadline: 13 weeks and 1 day
Weather : Really Hot inside the bus, 80 degrees outside the bus.














Today we were supposed to have the bus picked up by Trailer Made Custom Trailers. A tiny house and trailer company in Denver. After 5 Hours of waiting we finally received a response back with news that they would not be coming today. This pushes our time frame back but always look on the bright side of life right? We made huge improvements on it today and its not even out of the Salvage yard yet.
We were able to remove all the spare seats along with the tumble weeds and mountains of dirt inside the bus. We also learned that the bus was been sitting in the same spot for the last 55 years! Our tiny home is going to give this old bus a beautiful new life! Heres to the new trailer that should be welded on next week! We still have tons to do but are so excited to get the bus in our own hands!

Let the adventure begin!

The Day We Bought a Bus!


Today we start our epic! I am calling it an epic because epic can be defined as a "Grand Journey" . Today Jason and I bought a School #Bus! We are crazy people at this point with no clue what we are about to face. Thank God we have youtube, the internet and an army of friends who know what they are doing because we are going to need all the help we can get! Im personally lucky because I'm Starting this amazing journey with my best friend who is also a skilled craftsmen. (Even if he won't admit it) Ill be posting on and off from here on out as we try to get the bus move in ready in only a few weeks. Our lease ends on the 1st of the year and there is so much to be done! I want to gush on one minor detail for just one moment.
You see the about picture. The one with My hands to the sky and the biggest smile on my face? Jason is very receptive of energy as am I, but when making a huge life decision to up the family and our entire lives and move into this little pieces of #junkyard heaven, I need a moment. I had asked Jason to stand outside the bus for just a moment before we went to talk price with the owner. I walked in and squeezed around some old seats and #tumbleweeds and put my hands on the floor in the middle of this beautiful piece of junk. I listened and knew this was it! When I finally walked into the door way to look at Jason to tell me I loved it, He already knew and caught my excitement perfectly. This will always be my #favorite picture of our bus. Before it was our home. Before we named it. When It was our number one choice in the 3rd junk yard, lost in 20 acres of metal and mess. When we were just two hopeful #hippies with wild dreams. This will always be my favorite picture of the bus.




much love from the adventure
