This has been a popular saying in this baby bungalow of ours for the last twenty four hours. First world problems. I mean, how are we supposed to know how Willie and Matt are doing on the Today Show? No TV. How do we store our food? Mini-fridge. Where will we put all of our stuff (my stuff)? No closet and a two drawer chest. Not to mention we have to fold up our bed everyday to walk across the room when not sleeping. As if?
Have you ever seen the documentary Tiny? If you haven't you need to. It's about people who build tiny houses and live small, on purpose. There are people in this world who have tiny houses or no houses, not on purpose. For the next 3 or 4 weeks (please let it be only 3 or 4 weeks), we will live tiny, in a 398 square foot guest house. Our hosts, Flora and Victor, they live in a very large square foot house next to us (show-offs). I have never met a family so welcoming in my life. And they're huggers. I love hugs.
When Shane gets here, we will cuss, we will probably yell at each other because everything is tiny (except for us). The one thing we won't be is ungrateful. It's hard sometimes to really take in what you have and be grateful for it when you are so used to all the "stuff" you already have.
Our plan today...Target. Getting stocked on all our needs and ready for the big call. Which we were told could be within the week.
Hopefully we can fit in a trip to Grand Canyon and Sedona if time allows.
For now...
Welcome to our baby bungalow, where the view and the spiritual energy is anything but tiny.
Our front yard
Cheers
HK and Jess
