The wind kept waking us up last night, but we remained warm in the RV and took the dogs out early. The wind chill has brought the outside temperature down into the 30’s, but it is going to get up in the 50’s today with sustained high winds.
I did an early conference call and Jana is catching up on some of her work. Jana brought the blog up to date yesterday. This is no small feat, as there is so much media to sift through with all of us taking videos and photos constantly.
Jack and Ellie have school and Jana and I keep busy with our own work. The wind is still howling and the wind chill off the lake is pretty fierce (relatively), so we mainly stay indoors. We had hoped to paddle or run/ride one more time but that doesn’t pan out.
When Jack and Ellie finish school, we all decided to go over to the Lake Livingston State Park and look around. They’re doing renovations on the store, jetties, boat ramps and access ramps and it will be awesome when it’s finished.
Jack grabbed some photos and we all wander around shaking off the cabin fever.
We head back to the RV and heat up some stew, which turned out pretty well.
We are headed to Choke Canyon Recreation Area tomorrow and looking forward to our next leg of the journey across Texas.

Happy Birthday to My Greatest Adventure Partner!
Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!
Grant’s built homes, companies, and communities, but the most beautiful thing he’s built is the life we’ve gotten to share for more than 21 years now. It’s a life grounded in love, kindness, and deep gratitude for our family and all the experiences we get to have together, thanks to him.
I love Grant’s integrity, purpose, passion, and his heart-centered generosity of spirit — whether he’s working on visionary wellness communities or transforming an abandoned shack into our next family home.
Right now, I’m so grateful for Grant’s support during the hardest health challenge of my life, whether it be helping me walk down the stairs, dressing me, driving me to endless appointments, or reminding me of my own strength when things get scary. He holds space for all of who I am, supporting the choices I make for my healing, and supporting my dreams with unwavering belief in me, in sickness and in health.
At the same time, Grant is the best dad to Jack and Ellie. Watching him with them, celebrating their gifts, supporting their journeys, and being their safe harbor is a blessing and a joy. He parents with empathy, kindness, an open mind and endless patience, and show them, every day, what it means to be a man who leads with his heart.
At work, Grant is a force of nature. He inspires positive change, connection, and makes the world better, one project at a time. But beyond his impressive accomplishments, it’s his humility, his servant leadership, and his genuine care for people that truly set him apart. Grant doesn’t just work to improve businesses, he works to improve lives.
He’s taught me that true success is measured not by what we achieve but by how much we care. And Grant cares so much; about his family, his friends, his community, and this planet we all share.
Grantly, thank you for being wild and free, for embracing life’s chaos with open arms, and for loving me and our family unconditionally.
Happy Birthday!
