The Beginning

We have jumped on the bandwagon, so... welcome to our new blog! This has been something we have had in our minds for a while, simply because we are currently planted far across the world from most of the people we know and love! Since it is logistically impossible to start a separate email thread or set up a skype date with everyone we care about, the purpose of this blog is to fill in the blanks and to open up a conversation.

We want to share stories, we want to hear stories, we want to ask questions, we want to answer questions... we want to use this as a means to still feel like we are walking through life with people who are not in our current location. So please, talk to us! Respond! Ask questions! Share something in return! Really, we can't imagine anything sadder than sitting down with a friend to share a story and getting only a silent, blank stare in response... and that is how we feel while imagining someone we know reading our posts, and then just closing the window without saying anything in return. We want to know your stories and thoughts, and we do care very much about each of you, and it is the whole reason we started this blog (even though we feel too busy to even try to keep it up)!

For the purpose of knowing who our audience is, we are going to have the blog be a closed blog - not to shut people out, but quite the opposite! Knowing to whom we are writing will help us know what to write. All you have to do is give us your email address to request access, and we will gladly accept! We really do want to know those we are talking to and sharing life's stories and photos with. This isn’t so much about privacy concerns as it is about the fact that we both really don’t like one-sided conversations... they are not an element of any real or good relationship.

We will keep it open for a little bit, but will soon make it ¨closed¨ - so just let us know if you'd like access to join our small attempt to get people sharing life’s adventures!

Okay, now we got the awkward first post out of the way... stay tuned for the real stuff!
