...finally

Well, some people start a blog when they get married, some when they're pregnant, some when they start a new business, some when they move. Why are we starting our blog now? Well, for none of those reasons! I finally got around to asking Paul for the username and password so I could write because I got sick of having a blog and doing nothing with it. This is a new thing for me, but very fun. I've had lot of good examples of blogs, so the hope is that now we've started we'll actually keep up with it. Because I'm at work I don't have any fun pictures of our dog or anything, but here's a short update of our life...
  • We both finished a half marathon in early May. It was a blast and we're looking forward to our next one, hopefully in Baltimore, October 13.
  • Our dog, Moses, is HUGE but the cutest dog I know.
  • Paul is currently working on our garage as well as getting rid of the parasite he caught on a mountaineering training trip in Wyoming.
  • Work at the theater is wonderfully slow this summer (at least for me) - hence why I'm blogging now. :)
  • We're looking forward to our family camping trip to Dolly Sods (aka "the Sods") at the end of this month (I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to come).
  • Moses does not fit into a canoe - we tried. We found something that he's just too big to do. He can't sit down in the canoe, making it almost impossible to balance. There was much laughing in this process. The guy watching us couldn't believe we actually got him into the canoe, but we did. He just couldn't sit.
  • Trying to live "green" is fun.

That's about it for now. We're trying to take it as easy as possible, this coming fall is going to be challenging as always, we're sure.

Before I forget, Paul and I have established one "rule" for our blog. You will always know who posted the blog because of this at the end...
