The beginning...

I've been contemplating ways to keep our family and friends both near and far in touch with our unexpected journey through our first year of marriage. I didn't want to post this trip all over Facebook or another form of social media. The reason being, the "friends" we have on those sites aren't truly friends at all. They are acquaintances, people we've met along the path we call life. We have so many wonderful, loving friends and family that we want to keep informed, but I didn't want to have to keep repeating the information to the separate groups. This whole blogging idea seemed like it might be the best way to get in touch with everyone and give myself some therapeutic relief. Everyone can grab a wifi connection and get a quick update on how Chris and I are doing through this ordeal that we will one day refer to as "Our First Year of Marriage." It's an unexpected first year, that's for certain. And I plan on touching upon that in later posts. Feel free to comment, give positive words of encouragement, share your own story, or just read and be with us in spirit! Thanks for coming along with us on our ride! xo, Teresa
