Hello

Well, we started this blog to keep in touch with our friends who are far away or who are close but we don't get to see very often. I hope that I can keep it updated regularly...but who knows. I'm not the best at regular updates. Perhaps, this will be the way I finally convince Shane that we do, in fact, need wireless internet at our house! Need may be a bit of a drastic word, we definitely don't need wireless internet....but I sure would like it! I should try to keep my priorities straight... :)
A bit of history if you need it. Shane, Tayler and I have been married for almost 2 years. Can you believe it...Two years already?! It all started when Shane had a student teacher. He got really bored (not surprising if you know Shane) so he would wander down the hall to visit other teachers. Our first date was a trip to the Pacific Science Center. Very fun despite the fact that Shane and T were 2 hours late because they got in a fender bender! I think it was a good omen as my friend Cheryl also was in a car accident on her first date with her soon-to-be husband Brian. I guess it is the "thing to do" these days.
Anyway, after 2 years of camping trips, camping in the living room, working in Shane and T's garden, working on Shane and T's house, more camping, driving to Spokane, coffee shops, baking w/ T, Disneyland adventure, driving to Seattle(my house), driving to Milton(shane and T), driving to Kent(work) we got married in a beautiful little ceremony in Grandma Jane's backyard.
A year later our house was on the market and we had quit our jobs (and thankfully found new ones). Six more months of driving (Shane to Kingston, me to Shoreline) and now we're finally settled into a beautiful little (it's actually not that little...but "little" sounds nice) house in Suquamish on 2.3 beautiful acres. AND we saw a deer in the backyard last night!!! THAT is awesome.
