Our Story
Hi, I’m Lana — a millennial Southern water baby 🌊, Florida raised and now building a life in Texas with this goofball. Happy Llama started as a place to share cozy cooking, travel and adventure, and the everyday thoughts that come with working hard and dreaming big.
My journey took an unexpected turn when I moved to rural Texas for a guy I met online — a leap of faith that turned into real love. Almost five years later, we’re still growing together, learning what it means to build a life from the ground up in a quieter place than I ever imagined.
Here you’ll find stories from our life, food that feels like home, adventures near and far, and my ongoing mission to save for our first property in North Texas. This space is about progress, partnership, and finding joy in the in-between.
