So We’re Moving? Again?

Three and a half years ago we shared with the world that we were moving from Alaska to Michigan in the post So We’re Moving? Well, it’s time to share the news again! We are moving to Durango, Colorado! Just four months ago this was not even on our radar but it’s amazing how quickly things change! […]

Here’s what we’ve been doing!

As I mentioned in the last post we have been traveling fools this spring. Starting in the end of March we went on a vacation / road trip that kept us away from home until the end of May! In eight weeks and one day we managed to put on over 9,000 miles!!! Because of […]

What are we doing?

Schemanski, What’s In A Name?
