Life's a Tripp

Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.

We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! 

We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.

We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.

So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids. 

As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. 

We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii.
