In January 2018, we found Our Happy Place, in the form of a 2 bedroom tiny cabin in Jamestown, and now we've closed that chapter of our lives to begin a new one.
Saying good-bye to the cabin was incredibly bittersweet.
It was our refuge during the spring 2020 quarantine and it entertained lots of family and friends. The cabin will always hold a special place in our hearts and bring a smile to our faces.
We had the awning over the front door built when we first bought it.
We also added the sliding glass doors, as well as the awning over it, and a bar on the back deck. The bar was the perfect place to begin the day with a cup of coffee.
With all of the natural light, it always felt bigger than it really was.
The only real downfall was that it had just one bathroom. But, we always managed to make it work.

This spot was so special to the boys! Grandma made custom curtains so they slept great in total darkness each night.
We thought not having a dishwasher would be an issue but it wasn't a big deal at all!
The shared outdoor space at the cabin was incredible. The boys spent so much time exploring the area, catching toads and snakes in the creek, and fishing in the ponds. These are the fields that we played family baseball games, taught Lacey to fetch, and where Caleb learned to fly his drone. (He lost a few, too!)
Remembering March 2018...
After spending the day at IKEA, we ate dinner on the floor and then began putting furniture together. It took us an entire weekend, but we got it done.
The boys' first night in the cabin...they look like babies!
While we were not really ready to say good-bye to the cabin, a house went on the market a few miles closer to the marina and we knew we had to act. We closed on the new place and moved out of the cabin on June 14 (Happy Birthday, Caleb!).
We are so, so thankful for all the sweet memories of our time at the cabin.
