Travel Stories
Being cheap landed us in… China!
We were headed to Bangkok Thailand from Seattle but Shawn decided that he wanted me to book the cheapest flights possible to save $400. That led us to Xiamen Airlines and our overnight stay in China. I’ve learned a LOT about booking travelnand housing sin we first started prepari for our nomad adventures in 2015. …
Mended friendships and saying goodbye
Cara was my best friend during all of Sam’s elementary school years. We met when our boys were 3yrs old and attended the same preschool. We became close over the years and would even go on family vacations together as well as a girls trip to Vegas. I don’t get close to many people. I …
Spending time with Alex and the C word
We left Idaho and headed to Spokane to spend my birthday at a KOA there. It’s not really where I wanted to be but…based on our schedule and location, it was good enough. Spokane is one of those places Shawn and I visit and say…Blech, Spokane! It’s not really a place that we ever seem …
Sattlers
Sometimes families mesh amazingly well that don’t look like they would in the eyes of others. Becky and I have always been drawn together. We are very similar in how we think of business and relationships and how to treat others. We are both super ethical and we also just don’t take ourselves too seriously …
Staying with a friend we’ve never met!

Yellowstone or BUST!
Next up was a visit to Jackson Hole Wyoming where we stayed at the Snake River KOA. It was a small campground but we were right on the river in a tent site – 103. Listening to the sound of water rushing by is always relaxing to us so we were pretty happy. It was …
Salt Lake City and big life changing decisions
What else should you do when in Salt Lake City Utah? Well, besides posing at East High so we could send this photo to Sam (he’s a High School Musical super fan)? No, we had to visit with Robert, Katie and Amelia who have been friends and business partners for the past 10 1/2 years. …
Las Vegas visit with friends
Sandy and Steve have been part of our Scentsy team for 10 years. We have gotten to know one another from yearly events and business chats over the phone for all these years but have never really spent any one on one time with them or their family. They had so kindly offered to have …
