Pants

We did a lot of thinking in 2016. Lots. Where do we want to live? What do we want to do? What adventures do we want to take? What is important in our lives?

We went to Patagonia in St. Paul yesterday and there was a box that had a pair of old base layer pants with a note attached talking about how thankful the owner of the pants was that Patagonia creates such good products. That she had worn those pants for over 20 years an they continued to keep her warm over those years. This struck a note in my heart that I want to live simpler. I would love to be able to write a note that I've had a pair of pants for years and that they got me through so many things. It says, you just need you (your husband and dogs too) to enjoy life. All the clothing and gear/things you buy is just to make the trip easier. I want a pair of those pants. I want 2017 to bring on more adventures, more memories and less things. This starts with more adventures. We have a couple things planned so far this year and we are excited about them!

-Florida: Kyle and I are going to head to Naples, FL with my mom and Ryan for a 10 day vacation! We plan on taking a ferry down to the Keyes, we will see where our adventure takes us. We both have never been to the Keyes so we are excited to explore them.

-Adventure Puppy Club: We joined The Adventure Puppy Club. Its a small club that has weekly adventures with other dog owners to get outside with like minds and also work on training in real environments. Today is our first adventure out with the club!

We have lots of expectations for the year but I will save those for later as we aren't quite sure where our ideas or life will take us. Our path to a simpler life with less things and more experiences and memories is in the works and we are excited about it. One thing is for sure, we have each other and our pups, and that's all that we need... And maybe a pair of pants.
