Annnnd....we're done!

I started this project with a great deal of expectations.
If I've learned anything at all from it (and life up to now)
Its that expectations fail us.
Either life doesn't meet them, like due to their grandiosity,
Or life exceeds our expectations, humbling us & reminding us to keep going.
I imagined we would be done sooner than it was.
I imagined I documenting each step with detail & resulting in a stellar van blog.
I imagined we would be leaving sooner than we did.
I imagined we would be taking a route much longer than we will be.
Our imaginations, especially when we fail to strategically entertain it, can over take us
facilitating the creation of our own problems.

Throughout working on the van, I realized how much fun the process was.
Stoping production and development tasks just to document became a nuisance.
It started to clog our work flow. As the van slowly came together, we got more excited to keep working at finishing it than about having pictures of the process.

Upon us leaving Chicago, a few people asked that we document our travels.
Of course, we will be posting a few pictures here & there, but I find it to be exhaustive to maintain a blog in addition to random posts.

We are super grateful to all the support we've had in this little venture as we try out the West.
As promised, I will be releasing the total cost break down of the buildout to those interested!
