I hope you all are having a great summer!!

Hi Jeanie Marie! My wife, Janis, has been following your and Vince’s journeys and was excited to see that your life’s path has led you to rural living outside Tucson. That's super cool because we did the same thing - now in our seventh year here on over two remote acres near Saguaro National Park. The nature, wildlife, peacefulness, sunsets, and mountain views are incredible (as you know!). It’s been the best thing we’ve ever done, as our days are happily filled with slow, simple, and intentional living. We were even featured in a Netflix film - “Less is Now.” I’m pretty envious of you two, however, for embracing this wonderful desert lifestyle at such a young age. It took us SO much longer to figure it out!

that cat was like hey get outta my pool,lol.

Thank you Jeanie and Vince for this wonderful update!❤ I love your house, pontoon boat, Arizona sunsets, your pool, and the cat too!🌅🥰💞 Thank you for posting this fantastic video and I hope to see another 🎉💜🌹

We just moved to Tucson a few weeks ago! Loving it :)

I completely agree Jeannie! We moved to Florida from Minnesota where we were born and raised and got the same comments. Duluth in the winter with no sun for 6 plus months was the thing that we decided we just didn't want to do anymore. We love the sun. Can it get hot and the humidity make you feel a wee bit uncomfortable? Sure! But it isn't always like that and having sun nearly 98% of the time has been so life changing I can't even tell you. We love our community and being active citizens all year round not just a few months out of the year when it was nice in Minnesota really sold us. The reactions can be pretty dramatic about the heat right? It actually isn't as bad as everyone said it was supposed to be. So I say follow your heart! I am so happy for both of you! We are getting a pontoon too! We love boating up and down on Nature's Coast in the marsh. It's so beautiful. 👍🏼

Thank you for this response - I'm glad we are not the only ones! Reactions are very dramatic! But it doesn't matter where you live - I received all sorts of ridiculous comments when we lived in Colorado too - people just like to try and take others down - that's society nowadays! It's refreshing to read comments like yours. So glad you are loving FL and enjoy your new pontoon - we sure love ours.

I miss your travel videos, but there is a calm and peacefulness with your last few videos that I love. And your outdoor space is beautiful.

Patagonia Lake is always a treat during the summer

This is the video i’ve been waiting for….

So happy you’re posting !!

Stock tank pool was a great idea. Even if it does rust in 5 years, it’s cheap enough to keep replacing your entire life and still be money ahead versus a built-in.

Exactly what we said... we will just buy a new one when we need to! Not to worried about it if it rusts in 5 years.

How cute, love the stock tank pool. We had one when i was a kid it wasnt that stylish tho 😂

@tyvovo Fun! I grew up on a farm, we had lots of stock tanks, but they were for our cows, not us kids! 🤣

I lived in Goodyear, Arizona for 7 months. HELL ON EARTH!!!! I’m not into dirt, rocks dessert scene. I’m an Oregon girl, 4 seasons!!!! SNOW! RAIN! and being able to go hiking amidst the 🌳 trees.

Living a great life on your terms. Awesome 😁

That was so calming

I was I travel agent years ago and I'm considering getting back into it again. Travel has always been a passion for me and now that my kids are grown I'm looking to chase those passions again. If you have time I would love to talk to you more about it.

Just want to say your production and camera work is awesome!!! Would love to find out what cameras you use for videos

I hope your cat has sharp claws…to fend off Wile E. Coyote! Southern Arizona is quite pleasant in the summer when the glaring sun begins to set in the early evening.

Lose the pool, water sortage & sunburn! I've lived in tucson, for 27 years june to mid october, I stay inside in the AC1

Welcome to Arizona! I’ve learned to say there is no extreme weather in Arizona, you’re just in the wrong part of the state. I just drove back from the high country of Arizona where it was in the low 80s and 40s to 50s at night

What made you choose Arizona over Colorado

By the way your cat is so cute I hope they make more appearances in future videos

Yeah. If we couldn't😢 survive, we wouldn't live here. It's pure hell sometimes but that is when you stay inside.

I would put up with a few months of heat over cold anytime. I like wearing shorts!
