Introduction

Here it is, a modern way to chronicle our adventures as Paul and I set out on our first year of married life. (Well, married life in which we actually live in the same state as one another.) This blog will be a simple way for those who are interested to check in on us and see what we've been up to. I'll be posting pictures, updates, things I've learned, and fun recipes, projects, and assorted creative and crafty tid-bits.

For today in the "things I've learned" category:

Unpacking is far more challenging than packing! The blending of two domiciles into one is more difficult than I had expected, especially when there is limited space. I finally got the kitchen/ dining room area organized, functional, and looking quite cozy. The living room/ bedroom area... that's another story. It looks like an actual tornado went through there. There are boxes piled high, clothes and assorted belongings strewn everywhere. It's a little overwhelming. Paul has promised to help me sort through the wreckage once he finishes the paper due tomorrow, and his sermon due Sunday. I guess it's a good thing we're getting a chance to practice now. We'll only get to do this moving thing three more times in the next two years!!! ;-)

All that said, we're having a blast. Well, I am anyway, Paul has mostly been working on his paper... I'm having a great time setting up house, and I'm especially enjoying my new kitchen. It's so nice to be able to cook my own food! More to come on fun food adventures, but I'll save that for another day.

So there you have it, the introduction to our upcoming chronicles as we pass through this adventure called life.
