Getting Started

We've started this blog in an effort to allow family and friends to keep up with our lives (if they find it interesting, of course). It is also a convenient and fairly easy way to post photos of the kids as they change and grow, and of my (Jen's) artwork and photography.


I (Jen) will be doing almost all of the posting, as my hardworking husband usually has trouble simply keeping up with email. So, expect this to be written from my point of view.

So, I begin on a new year, which happens to be the year in which our 10-year high school reunion will be taking place. I'm starting to wonder how in the world 10 years have gone by since I graduated high school! Is it just me, or did time seem to crawl until you left home, and then it flew at an unbelievable rate? Do I already have a 4-year-old daughter?

Aaron and I started dating ten years ago, January 6th. It's nice to see, feel, and know, that our relationship has just become fabulous in that amount of time. Ten years ago, I didn't exactly imagine that I would have two beautiful children and a very happy 8 1/2 year marriage with Aaron. He was just my nerdy best friend, and I felt like I was taking a gamble on the friendship by dating him. I gambled well!
I hit the jackpot, I say.

Well, as we begin a new year, I'm sure that we will have lots of new stories to tell. We hope that our beloved friends and family enjoy reading about our adventures, struggles and joyful times.
