Hello from the Silveys
Good morning Skoolies! We are Berkley and Jerod Silvey, with our 5 yr. old furry child Zoe. We currently live in Aurora, Colorado after moving from Jefferson City, Missouri. We have always imagined what our lives would be like in a Tiny House. With a dream in our minds and a fire in our hearts, we moved out here without jobs or a place to stay. We found ourselves camping in Pike National Forest for our first month in Colorado. This experience has enlightened us about the beauty, freedom, and simplicity of mobile/outdoor living. Skip to present, we now own our key to The Life we came out here to make. It's awesome and so is anyone who chooses this lifestyle! Thanks guys.

As soon as out bus is ready we will be heading out there.
Co Springs to see friends who just moved out this winter, and then up through Denver and on to Ft Collins.
FoCo was a really friendly town for the most part.

Colorado is definitely amazing and we suggest it obsessively to anyone who will listen! We also think it will be easy to find other skoolies in the area because the people out here are definitely more progressive than anywhere else we've been. Boulder county is very welcoming to the tiny house movement.

I am liking the green apple accents with the white, very "spring breezy"
