How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our tiny house on wheels into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream! We've recently added a lakeside cabin into the mix, which has been so much fun to renovate and turn into a dreamy cottage but our heart is at the land, the 10 acre homestead we built from scratch in the middle of the woods!

    We ended up spending our anniversary down by the water with the boys. Later in the afternoon, Todd decided to pick up Chinese food and someone else who lives on the lake set off fireworks (not for us, just a coincidence LOL). I still can’t believe how fast the years slipped by…TEN years married, I’ll guess we really are getting older 😆...it's been nice to take a few days to relax away from the hustle of construction but we're SO excited to get back to work and finish this deck. How dreamy is it going to be?!
  • Please tell Dumpy that many of us consider him to be a national treasure. He is a fountain of knowledge and has helped to save this project. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Happy Anniversary. 10 years of an awesome life together. 💕

    As President of the American Dumpy and Mel Fan Club, I think you guys should name something on your property after them. Something that's a permanent fixture, like a tree or particularly pretty viewpoint or something in their honor. As someone who's followed you guys from the RV days to now, it's been one heckuva ride and it's so exciting to see how far you've come!
  • When your pool is finished, always hang a little towel or piece of cloth into the pool, so when a squirrel or your cat falls into the pool they can climb out with the help of the towel/cloth.
  • I think you should adopt Dumpy, such a steady, calm guy. Thank goodness you found him! Happy anniversary xx
  • Greetings from us in BC. I married my husband on the same day as you married, August 2, 2014, and like you, we remarked how fast a decade flew by. We turned 70 this year, and can testify that, yes, time flies by faster with each passing year. We affirm you both in your intention to live more in the present, and take very opportunity you can to celebrate each other, your love for each other, and your love for life. Now that we are an old gay couple who met late in life, we wake up each day with gratitude for the day, and end each day with gratitude. We wish for your the happiness and joy that is a feature of every day.

    Don't forget to start planting, mint, lavender, lemon glass, marigolds, garlic and rosemary all around the pool area. Just a other way to keep ticks away from pets and guest. Once they get established they will come back year after year and protect everyone from ticks and other bitting bugs. Wouldn't hurt to add a couple more bat nest/boxes

    Dumpy is the wood whisperer! He sees what you both can’t. 😂
  • Happy Anniversary!! 🎉 A decade of being married and staying married is huge!! Here’s to the next decade of love and laughter 🎉❤
  • As a devout fan I am truly glad things are the progressing. As a women who gives birth and raises children I would argue the point of giving life to another human and raising another generation of good people beautiful and complicated not as you stated “simple.” Please enjoy your anniversary and rest of summer.

    My personal kryptonite is when something that should take 3 steps suddenly takes 7, then 9, then spirals off into chaos and darkness. Watching y’all deal with all the errors that you’ve been saddled with thanks to crummy engineers and contractors (and I don’t even want to think about paperwork and permits and general bureaucracy)… Honestly it’s incredible. You two are incredible. You and your families deserve every moment of joy and tranquility and rosé dance parties that this incredible property and home will bring. Werk. ❤
  • 1st time commenting and English is not my 1st or 2nd language so please bear with the mistakes. Just had to put my cents in.... you guys are so much more happier after Dumpy and the other gorgeous guy has come into your lives. Prayers that Your life is filled with beautiful souls and spirits like you two always. May you always have beautiful angels around you.
  • Congratulations on your 10th anniversary! My husband and I just had our 55th anniversary, and I hope you'll be as happy together 45 years from now as we are. You're such a loving couple, and you compliment each other so well.
  • I’m a thousand years older than you, and I’m learning from you. Through all your challenges, you accommodate for each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and you talk. You’re lovely young men with your hearts in the right place. ❤️
  • You sure found a treasure in Dumpy. He’s a great guy and a good person. Always working hard you two. Love your videos. Take care.

    You two complement each other so well! Keep embracing all the moments!
