This very first post is timed to honor the great life adventure we took that started it all. On that beautiful day back on August 5, 2006, we tied the knot. At the age of 22, we're fairly certain that our parents had wished we waited a few more years to get hitched. D only graduated from college the previous year, and S had dropped out of college to work full time. While nobody had ever uttered the words to us directly, we knew many people worried that we jumped on the marriage wagon way too soon. 

Well, here we still are 8 years later. We continue to learn from each other and grow together, and most importantly, love one another. We decided to create this site to document and share our thoughts and experiences as a couple, made up of individuals with varied interests and different perspectives. The goal is to keep this going for at least a year. Hopefully, we can motivate each other to update regularly. With family and friends scattered all over the globe, we can also share updates here in more detail. We're not big fans of Facebook statuses that are as long as an epic novel. So blogging, here we go!
