With the baby due any day and life about to change forever, we found ourselves looking back at how any of this ever came to be. This week is a little different. More of a home movie. A look back at the story of how Kelly and I met, how we lost each other for a time, found our way back, and somehow ended up building an off-grid life together on a small island in Newfoundland. It all started in an alpaca barn in Virginia, a first date by rowboat to a remote island in the Florida Keys, a 1600-mile rowing journey across the Northwest Passage, heartbreak, second chances, and eventually an old blue house by the ocean. From rebuilding a forgotten house and learning to live off-grid, to getting married, starting a little funny farm, growing food, and preparing to welcome our first baby… this is the story behind the life you’ve been watching unfold here. A bit of where it all began. Thanks for being here with us. We Love ya!"

At some point they changed the title of this video after releasing it.. I wonder why? New Title:

"I Broke Up With Her in the Arctic… Now We’re Having a Baby"
