Starting a New Blog

Now that Justin and I have officially started our lives together, it seems like a good time to begin a new blog! 

It's mostly self-serving having a place to share our adventures, thoughts, and stories -- a journal of sorts. But in my experience, blogging is also an effective way to further connections with our family and friends. And to me, that is the coolest thing.

With that said, Justin and I have experienced quite a bit in the last little while! From dating, engagement, and marriage to travel, career shifts, and personal growth, I figured what better time to start writing than now -- when it seems like I have a lot more to say than usual haha.

So, welcome to our blog!

He slept in the carrier like a rockstar!!!  ...As long as I could bounce him 😜 The alternative is getting my face eaten.  My MIL took this picture as I was trying to strap him in. Despite being on the move, I still pumped every 4 hours ar...

Our first date

 I bet Justin was expecting me to say, "JUST KIDDINNNNNG!" some time between finally accepting a date with him and the actual date itself. (He had tried asking me up to 3 times from October 2017 to February 2018, and I turned it down every time.) BUT. I didn't change my mind. I agreed to go on our first 'official' date and was nervous as I'll get out.  It was February and very, very cold outside. We went to a cafe called Shirley's to get some hot chocolate and sit by the indoor fireplace. It was about 830p, and we didn't know the cafe was about to close at 9p.  We held our freshly poured hot chocolate close and stepped out into the numbing winter night, not sure where we would go next. Somewhere we could sit comfortably and just talk; because, despite being friends for so long, we really didn't know zipola about each other. The goal of the night was to actually learn about each other's lives. We needed to go somewhere we could do that... We sat...
