Testing.... Testing.... Well, we're about to start blogging. At least I am. I'm sure Jeff will read it, but I suspect I will be in charge of the writing. Jeff is a good writer, but I suppose I should get my money's worth from my fancy English degree. :) Jeff is a much better picture taker, anyway.Today we are one month from our sixth wedding anniversary. We've had such a good marriage! We're excited that we've had so much time together before we've chosen to expand our family. I mean, when I first met Jeff I told him I wasn't going to have kids until I had been to all 50 states (I was probably 2/3 of the way there on my own at that point--he had been to four.); at first he told me I wasn't practical. Now, just over 8 years later, we have together been to 49 states and Europe! And, we are excited to be venturing to Alaska, our 50th state, in a few weeks! While visiting the 50 states may not seem like the most exciting thing ever (I mean, really!), we see our travels as a testament to our dedication to our goals and to each other.
And now that we've made plans to see our 50th state, what's next? Well, we have news! While Jeff has often made fun of the anniversary of our first official date (dinner at NXNW in Austin, btw) as I've attempted to celebrate it (He's a very generous accountant--oxymoron, I know--but he almost always balks at the idea of buying me gifts, sadly.), this year we will be celebrating by becoming parents! That's right, our first child is officially due on the ninth anniversary of our first date. We are so excited!
So, with that, we are off and ready to start our next adventure....
Welcome to our blog. Stay tuned for more!
