Introductions...

This is us:


(circa 2005 - look at how young we were!)

And this is our ridiculously cute but at times ill-trained puppy, Murdock.

This blog will follow our transition into marriage, our adventures parenting our puppy, our experience as we "build our nest," and just our general day-to-day musings.
This is our story thus far: (abridged version)

Tom and I (Beth) began dating in the fall of 2003. It was quickly obvious that we were headed into a long-term relationship, which eventually gave way to a long-distance relationship once I went away to college. The next several years encountered many good times, and a few challenges. But, we've persevered and will be getting married this August. Currently, Tom is finishing up his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. He is also becoming a certified K-12 teacher, and will have two minors, in Health Education and Fitness and Health Promotions. Tom is an All-American in Track & Field, specifically the weight throw and shot put, and is planning a professional athletic career (specifically in the hammer event) once he graduates. I am a writer at a small media company outside of Chicago, with a degree in English and Business. While no one can say for sure where we're headed, we're planning for a cross-country move in a year so Tom can begin professional training!

Stick with us in the coming months --- we can't guarantee it will be a smooth ride, but I promise, we're fun!
